Passport photos are checked against stricter portrait rules than most exam photos: no glasses, no smiling, both ears visible and no shadow behind the head. The pixel box is only part of the check, so fix the pose and lighting before compressing the file.

Frequently asked questions
What is the Passport Seva photo size?
The printed photo is 3.5 cm × 4.5 cm. At 300 DPI that is 413 × 531 px, which is the box this preset exports. Keep the JPEG between 20 KB and 300 KB and follow the current Passport Seva instructions.
Can I wear glasses in the passport photo?
Passport Seva asks for a photo without glasses so the eyes are clearly visible and there is no glare or frame shadow. Remove them for the photo even if you wear them every day.
Can I use this photo for a visa application?
A visa application often has its own size and background rules, and some countries require a different head size. Use this preset for the Indian passport upload, then check the destination country's visa photo specification separately.
