Stamp size photo (25 × 30 mm)

Most Indian forms that ask for a "stamp size" photo mean 25 × 30 mm with a plain white background. Common uses include PAN card, Aadhaar updates, NEET / JEE / SSC exam forms, school and college ID, and bank KYC. PassportSnap reuses your passport crop and packs both sizes on the same 4 × 6 or A4 sheet. See the full stamp size photo guide.

Make an Indian passport photo

  1. Open the studio with the India preset and upload your photo.
  2. Remove the background — it's replaced with plain white automatically.
  3. Set both a passport count and a stamp count if you need a mixed sheet.
  4. Choose 4 × 6 inch or A4, then print at actual size (300 DPI).

FAQ

Is this accepted at a Passport Seva Kendra?

The printed sheet meets the 35×45 mm size, white background, and 300 DPI print requirement. Acceptance still depends on pose, lighting, and current rules — verify with the PSK before appointment day.

Can I print passport and stamp size on one sheet?

Yes. Set both counts in the studio. A typical 4 × 6 inch sheet holds 8 passport and 6 stamp photos.
