OCI Photo & Signature Files

India OCI applications need a square JPG photo and a signature JPG, each under 500 KB. PassportSelf crops, resizes and compresses both files to the configured limits — or sign on screen with the Signature Maker.

Is PassportSelf free?

Yes. PassportSelf's currently available online tools are free to use, including the passport photo maker, the digital photo and the printable 4×6 sheet.

Do I need an account?

No account is required for the current tools. You can create and download your files without signing up.

Is there a subscription?

No. PassportSelf does not require a subscription to use its current free tools.

Is an online passport photo accepted?

Yes, when it meets the published requirements. Agencies define technical rules for the photo — size, background, head position — not where or how it was made. Final acceptance is always decided by the issuing agency.

Can I get a digital passport photo for online applications?

Yes. For supported documents you download a digital photo at the required pixel dimensions, suitable for online passport renewal and visa applications.

Do you use AI to edit my photo?

No. PassportSelf only crops, sizes and positions your photo. It never uses generative AI, retouching or background replacement — altering a passport photo can cause rejection.

Which documents are supported?

U.S. passports, U.S. visas, and several immigration photo formats — the full list with each document's requirements is shown above. Other documents get guidance-only support.
