Nothing is uploaded because nothing needs to be. Cropping happens on a canvas in your browser, and the background is removed by a neural network that downloads to your device and runs there. The only thing that travels is the model coming down — your photo never leaves the tab, and the source code is public so this can be checked rather than believed.

Frequently asked
What size is a Indian passport photo, in cm and inches?
35 × 45 mm, which is 3.5 × 4.5 cm or 1.38 × 1.77 inches. Those are the same photo stated three ways; use whichever unit the form in front of you asks for.
What size is a Indian passport photo in pixels?
630 × 810 pixels, which is 457 dpi at the print size. Anything smaller will look soft when printed.
What background colour does a Indian passport photo need?
White, plain and evenly lit, with no shadow behind the head. The tool can replace the background for you if the wall behind you is not right.
What file format and size does a Indian passport photo need?
JPEG, no larger than 250 KB. The export here compresses to stay under that limit without dropping below the required resolution.
How many copies of a Indian passport photo fit on one sheet?
4 photos of 35 × 45 mm on an A4 sheet. Print at 100 % scale, never "fit to page".
Indian passport photo: uploaded, or handed over printed?
Submitted as a file.
Can a Indian passport photo be taken in a hijab, turban or other head covering?
Yes. A covering worn every day for religious reasons is accepted; an ordinary hat is not. The face has to be visible from the bottom of the chin to the forehead, both edges of the face have to show, and nothing may cast a shadow across it. Keep the fabric plain and unpatterned, and pick a colour that stands apart from the background — a white covering on a white background merges into it, which is the rejection Canada and Türkiye both warn about by name. The palette here can set a background that contrasts.
