Questions

How do I reduce my photo size for the India e-Visa?

Upload it here. TravelPrepKit crops it square, evens out the background if needed and compresses it inside 10 KB–1 MB, on your device.

Does my photo get uploaded to a server?

Checking and preparing run on your device. Optional transfers between devices and saving finished files to an account are separate choices described in the privacy notice.

Can it convert an iPhone HEIC photo?

Yes. The prepared file is always a JPEG, which is what the portal accepts.

Can I compress my India visa photo to 200 KB or 300 KB?

For the e-Visa route, the current published JPEG window is 10 KB–1 MB. If your specific upload field asks for 200 KB or 300 KB, enter that cap under your own requirements. Check the final size and face detail; a smaller file must still be clear.

What pixel dimensions does the e-Visa photo resizer use?

TravelPrepKit uses a 350–1000-pixel square preparation range. The current public e-Visa page requires equal width and height but does not publish pixel bounds. Follow any additional limits shown by your live upload field.

What does it cost?

Checking is free and unlimited. You pay only to download a prepared file, after you have seen it.
