2×2 Photo Size Converter

A 2×2 inch photo is the most commonly required size for U.S. passports, visas, and government ID applications. While the dimensions sound simple, many applications are rejected because the photo fails to meet exact technical and positioning requirements. Our 2×2 photo size converter removes guesswork and helps ensure compliance on the first try.

What Is a 2×2 Photo?

A 2×2 photo means the final printed or digital image must be exactly 2 inches wide and 2 inches tall.

How to Use our 2×2 Photo Converter

1. Upload a High-Quality Photo

Use a recent photo taken within the last 6 months. Avoid selfies taken too close to the camera; they often distort facial proportions.

2. Crop your Photo

Our passport photo converter allows you to drag the crop box to adjust the photo and ensure the correct face and head size.
Tip: Your original photo should include enough space around your head so it can be cropped to the required dimensions.

3. Choose the Best Enhancement 

Our passport photo tool offers five enhancement options. Simply click to select the one you like best.

4. Download the Final File

Download and save the final image in high quality, ensuring it meets all required specifications.
