US Passport Photo Maker — 2×2 inch
Create US passport photos at the official 2×2 inch size (600×600px) at 300 DPI with head-position guides.
About the US Passport Photo
Produce a US passport (2×2 in) photo at the official size: 600×600 pixels (300 DPI print standard). The interactive editor shows a head-position oval and eye-line guide modeled on the common standards — align the face, adjust the crop, and export at exactly the required dimensions. Everything stays on your device.
How it works
The editor targets the US State Department spec: a 2×2 inch print (600×600 pixels at 300 DPI) with head between 50–69% of frame height. The overlay shows exactly where crown and chin must sit, and the optional background replacement cleans up imperfect home backdrops to plain white.
How to use it
Drop one photo shot against a plain light wall, drag the crop until the head guides align, pick a white background treatment, and download the 600×600 master for printing or online submission.
Supported formats & limitations
Accepts .jpg, .png and .webp up to 30MB; single-photo sessions; output 600×600px at 300 DPI. Glasses, shadows and expressions follow official rules — the tool handles geometry, you handle everything else.
Common use cases
US passport applications and renewals, visa photo requirements that reference the US standard, and Global Entry or other TSA-adjacent submissions that ask for the same 2×2 inch format.
Frequently asked questions
What size is a us passport (2×2 in)?
600×600 pixels, matching the common print standard at 300 DPI.
Can I print it?
Yes — output at 300 DPI prints at the selected size. Use the Print Sheet tool to arrange copies on 4×6" paper.
Will this photo be accepted for my application?
The tool guarantees the exact pixel dimensions and print size, but every authority sets its own rules for lighting, expression, head position and recency — and they change over time. Always verify the current requirements with the issuing authority (embassy, consulate or agency) before submitting.
What are the US passport photo rules?
2×2 inches (51×51 mm) printed at 300 DPI = 600×600 pixels, taken within the last 6 months on a plain white or off-white background, neutral expression, no glasses. The US Department of State accepts photos taken at home with a phone camera if these rules are met — check travel.state.gov for the current requirements before you apply, since they can change.
