When you need this preset
You are filling in an Indian e-Visa application, the portal asks for a square photo within a specific pixel and file-size range, and the picture you took is an iPhone HEIC file. By default that photo is the wrong format, the wrong shape, and usually far too large. This page preselects a square JPG crop with a 1 MB target so you can go from an iPhone photo to an upload-ready visa file in one step, without emailing the image to a computer or installing conversion software.
It is for applicants who already have a suitable photo and just need it in the right file. If you have not taken the photo yet, follow the official visual guidance first — the file format and size are the straightforward part.
What the official spec says
Per the Indian e-Visa portal's photo specification, the upload must be a square JPEG, at least 350 × 350 pixels and up to 1000 × 1000 pixels, with a file size between 10 KB and 1 MB. The background should be plain white or off-white, the full face centered and clearly visible, with no glare or heavy shadows. Because the spec allows a range of sizes, this preset targets the top of that range — 1000 × 1000 pixels, under 1 MB — so you keep as much detail as the portal permits.
Two numbers matter for the file: it must be square, and it must sit between 10 KB and 1 MB. The exact-square crop guarantees the shape and pixel size, and the converter compresses under 1 MB. Watch the lower bound too — the finished file shows its exact size, so if a very plain photo drops under 10 KB you can bump the dimensions or KB target back up. Confirm the current requirements on the official portal before you submit.
What this tool does and does not do
This is a file-preparation tool. It converts HEIC to JPG, crops to a square, compresses under the cap, and removes private metadata. It does not check whether your face is centered, whether the head size is correct, or whether the background is genuinely plain white or off-white. Those checks are your responsibility and must be verified against the official e-Visa guidance for your own application.
heictoimg.com is not official, not government-approved, and not a compliance checker. It does not enhance, retouch, or replace backgrounds, and it does not provide legal or immigration advice. Producing a correctly sized square JPG here does not guarantee that the e-Visa portal, or any authority, will accept your photo or approve your visa.
Private, local conversion
Everything runs in your browser using WebAssembly — your selected image files are not uploaded to heictoimg.com servers. Converted files are re-encoded from decoded pixels, which removes original private metadata such as GPS location, camera details, and the original photo timestamp. You can process up to 50 files at once on desktop and up to 10 on phones and tablets, so preparing photos for several applicants at once is straightforward.
