Indian e-Visa photo maker

The Indian e-Visa form needs a square JPG photo between 10 KB and 1 MB: full face, front view, eyes open, no glasses, on a plain light background.

First use downloads ~300 MB (LibreOffice engine). On a slow network this can take a few minutes.

After that, it's cached on your device. Subsequent conversions start in about 2 seconds and never upload your file.

The browser enforces this: the site’s security policy only lets the page talk to the code libraries’ servers and an anonymous usage counter (tool name, file type, size range). A request carrying your file to anywhere else would be blocked before it left.

Check it yourself: open your browser’s developer tools, go to the Network tab, and run the tool. Or turn off Wi-Fi once the tool has loaded; it keeps working.

How it works

The Indian e-Visa form needs a square JPG photo between 10 KB and 1 MB: full face, front view, eyes open, no glasses, on a plain light background.

The e-Visa application for foreign nationals rejects photos whose height and width differ, so the photo must be square. It must be a JPG between 10 KB and 1 MB, showing your full face from the front with your eyes open, without spectacles, on a plain light or white background with no shadows or border. The passport bio page is uploaded separately as a PDF of 10 to 300 KB. Drop a phone photo, drag it inside the square frame with the face guide, and download a 600 × 600 JPG that meets the rules.

How to use it

Pick Indian e-Visa. The sizes it asks for load with a link to the official notice.
Add each image. A phone photo is fine: drag and zoom inside the exact frame.
Check the list. Format, pixels and KB are checked the way the portal checks them.
Download. One file per upload, already named and sized.
