Indian passport photos use two formats, depending on where you are submitting them. The Passport Seva portal (passportindia.gov.in) requires a digital upload of exactly 630×810 pixels in a 7:9 rectangular aspect ratio. Printed packet requirements depend on your checklist: VFS commonly asks for 35×45mm prints, while BLS Canada commonly asks for 2×2 inch prints. See the BLS photo specifications before printing for a BLS appointment.
The most common rejection reason on Passport Seva is wrong pixel dimensions. The portal validates the file at upload time and shows a cryptic error ("Nothing found to be uploaded") if the dimensions don't match. If your photo is rejected by Passport Seva, it's almost always a dimension or file-size issue. PhotoPass generates the exact 630×810 specification automatically.
For in-person submissions at Passport Seva Kendras (PSKs), you may need printed photos on photo paper. For overseas VFS/BLS packets, follow the exact printed size in your current local checklist rather than reusing a generic passport print.
