Questions and answers
What pixel size should I use?
The portal asks for a square photo; 600 × 600 px works well and keeps the file small.

No, the India e-Visa doesn’t accept photos with glasses.
Are my photos uploaded to a server?
No. Everything is processed inside your browser, on your own phone or computer. Your photos never leave your device and nobody else can see them.
