India OCI Photo

About India OCI Photo

An India OCI photo - for an Overseas Citizen of India card - is 2×2 inches, 51×51 mm, 600×600 pixels at print resolution, on a plain light-coloured background. This tool crops and sizes your photo to exactly that square in your browser, with a head-position oval as a guide. Note the unusual background rule that trips people up. The OCI portal specifically asks for a plain light-coloured background - explicitly not pure white - which is the opposite of most passport requirements and the mistake most likely to get an OCI photo rejected. The face should look straight at the camera with a neutral expression, and the head should sit around 25 to 33 mm within the square. OCI is the square 2×2 inch format, the same size as a US passport photo, so the dimensions are familiar even though the background rule is not. Digital uploads to the OCI system have their own pixel and file-size limits; this tool outputs the 600×600 print size, and you can compress it to the portal's limit afterwards. Everything runs in this tab - your photo is cropped, sized and handed back without being uploaded, which for a document photo is exactly right. Important: this tool sizes and frames the photo to the exact 2×2 in (51×51 mm) dimensions and shows a head-position guide, but it cannot certify that your photo meets every official rule. Always check the result against the official guidance before you submit it.
