Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about image resizing

What size is an India Overseas Citizenship (OCI) photo?

An OCI photo is 2x2 inches, which works out to 600x600 pixels at 300 DPI — the same size used for Indian passport photos. This tool outputs that exact 2x2 inch, 600x600 px specification for OCI registration and renewal.

How do I make an OCI photo online for free?

Upload your photo, and the tool automatically crops your face and resizes the image to the 2x2 inch India Overseas Citizenship (OCI) photo standard with a white background. Download the result in seconds — no signup, no watermark.

I live outside India — can I still make this photo myself?

Yes. Because everything runs in your browser, you can produce a compliant OCI photo from anywhere in the world without visiting a local photo studio, then upload or print it wherever your application is being filed.

What background color does the OCI photo spec call for?

A plain white background. The tool removes your original background and replaces it with solid white automatically, matching the published OCI photo spec.

Can I use this same India Overseas Citizenship (OCI) photo maker for a renewal application?

Yes. This tool always outputs the standard 2x2 inch, white-background spec. Confirm any renewal-specific detail against the current published VFS Global guidance before you submit.

Can I use the digital file for an online OCI submission?

Yes. Download the digital version, sized and compressed for direct upload to VFS Global and Indian mission or consulate OCI portals, ready to attach without further editing.

Do I need to visit a photo studio for this?

No. A phone photo taken against a plain wall in daylight is a good enough starting point — the tool handles the face crop, background swap, and exact 2x2 inch sizing that a studio would otherwise do for you.

Will my photo be uploaded to a server?

Nothing is uploaded. Face detection, background removal, and resizing all happen locally inside your browser, so your OCI photo stays on your device from start to finish.

Is this India Overseas Citizenship (OCI) photo maker really free?

Every feature is free — face detection, background removal, resizing, and the print-ready download. There's no account to create, no trial, and no watermark.

What image formats can I upload?

You can upload JPG, JPEG, PNG, or WEBP images straight from your phone or computer. The finished photo downloads as a standard JPG ready for printing or online submission.

What's the difference between Auto mode and adjusting the crop myself?

Auto mode finds your face and sets the head size, position, and margins to the 2x2 inch OCI layout automatically. Manual mode keeps that starting point but lets you drag and resize the crop by hand if you want a different result.

Do I need to sign up to use this tool?

No account, email, or login is required. Open the page, upload a photo, and download your India Overseas Citizenship (OCI) photo — nothing is tied to a profile.
