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

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