If the portal still refuses your PDF

  • Check the prepared file

    Check the actual output size, file format, page orientation and readability. A compressed file still needs clear passport details. Keep your original and follow the official upload instructions rather than repeatedly reducing quality.

Questions

How do I get my passport PDF under 300 KB?

Add a clear scan or phone photo of the bio page. Prepare it as A4 and check the final size and text in the preview. Use a clearer original if a readable copy cannot fit below 300 KB.

Can I upload a JPG passport scan to the India e-Visa portal?

The portal requires the passport bio-page in PDF format, 10–300 KB. TravelPrepKit can convert a JPG source scan to that PDF on your device. Review readability before download. The separate portrait photograph is a square JPEG, 10 KB–1 MB.

Is my passport scan uploaded anywhere?

PDF preparation runs on your device. Optional transfers and account saving are separate choices described in the privacy notice.
