If you need to compress a passport scan for India eVisa, the goal is simple: reduce file size while keeping all passport details readable. Over-compression can cause blur, which may lead to upload issues or delays.
Why This India eVisa Issue Happens
Many applicants compress files too aggressively or use low-quality tools, which can make passport text unclear. Others upload large files that exceed limits and fail at submission.
- File size exceeds upload limit
- Compressed file becomes blurry or pixelated
- Wrong format or partial scan edges
Step-by-Step Actions to Resolve It
- Scan passport in clear lighting with full page edges visible.
- Compress gradually and preview text clarity before saving.
- Use standard format accepted by the upload portal.
- For guided document checks, use India eVisa apply.
Documents and Details to Recheck
Passport Scan Quality

When to Reapply and When to Contact Support
If upload errors continue even after proper compression and format checks, restarting with a fresh clean scan may be faster. If travel dates are close, get guidance before repeated failed uploads.
You can submit a reviewed request through India eVisa application form.
