Detailed Guide & Overview
IRCTC Photo Requirements: Everything You Need to Know
The Indian Railway Catering and Tourism Corporation (IRCTC) requires users to upload a passport-sized photograph for account verification, particularly for Tatkal booking access and premium membership accounts. Non-compliance with IRCTC's photo specifications is one of the most common reasons for account verification failure. Our IRCTC Photo Resizer automatically formats your photo to meet all official requirements.
Official IRCTC Photo Specifications
- Format: JPEG / JPG only (PNG and HEIC are not accepted)
- File Size: Maximum 15KB to 30KB depending on the form type
- Dimensions: Minimum 100 × 100 pixels; recommended 200 × 200 pixels
- Background: White or very light background preferred
- Face Visibility: Full face visible, no dark glasses, no hats
- Image Type: Recent photograph, taken within the last 6 months
IRCTC Tatkal Booking Photo Requirements
For IRCTC Tatkal bookings, the photo is required as part of the passenger identity verification process. Railway officials may physically verify that the passenger's appearance matches the ID photo. For this reason, the photo must be:
- Recent and clearly showing your current appearance
- Frontal view with both ears and full forehead visible
- Taken in good lighting — no silhouettes or heavily shadowed photos
- Not a cropped social media selfie (selfies at angles are commonly rejected)
Why Your IRCTC Photo Gets Rejected
The most common reasons for IRCTC photo rejection during account verification:
- File size exceeds the maximum limit (very common when using phone photos directly)
- File is in HEIC format (iPhones default to HEIC — convert to JPG first)
- Photo is in PNG format — IRCTC typically only accepts JPG
- Image dimensions are too large or too small
- Photo quality is too low — blurry or pixelated images are rejected
- Background is too dark or coloured — use a white or light background
Step-by-Step: Resize Your Photo for IRCTC
- Upload your passport photograph to our IRCTC Photo Resizer
- The tool automatically resizes to IRCTC-compliant dimensions
- Use the compression slider to bring the file size under 15KB
- Select JPG as the output format
- Download and upload directly to IRCTC
IRCTC Agent and Agent Registration Photos
IRCTC Authorised Travel Agents registering on the portal must submit both a personal photograph and proof of address/business documents in the specified formats. The agent photo follows the same 15–30KB, white-background JPG specifications as the regular user photo. Our tool works for both regular and agent registration photos.
