Standard Photo Dimension & Background Guidelines
Passport issuing authorities, visa consulates, and government recruitment agencies enforce rigorous biometric guidelines for identification photographs:
Mandatory Do's
- Plain Background: Light white or off-white background with uniform lighting.
- Face Positioning: Face should occupy 70% to 80% of the total frame height.
- Neutral Expression: Eyes open and clearly visible, mouth closed, looking straight at camera.
- Name & Date on Photo: If applying for SSC or Railway, enable the bottom white strip with your full name and recent date of photograph.
Strict Don'ts
- No Dark Glasses or Tinted Specs: Glare or reflections over eyes result in automatic rejection.
- No Hats or Caps: Head coverings only permitted for religious reasons without obscuring the face oval.
- No Shadows on Face: Ensure even frontal illumination with zero harsh shadows behind ears or background.
- No Low-Resolution Upscaling: Always shoot in good lighting before cropping with our 600 DPI generator.
