2×2 Inch Photo

About 2×2 Inch Photo

A 2×2 inch photo - 51×51 mm, 600×600 pixels at print resolution - is the square ID-photo format used by US passports and many other applications and forms worldwide. This tool crops and sizes any photo to exactly 2×2 inches in your browser, with a head-position oval as a guide, so a phone snap against a plain wall becomes a correctly proportioned square. Whether it is for a passport, a visa, or a form that simply asks for '2×2', the size and the centred head are what matter. The 2×2 inch square is the US passport standard, so the same output suits a US passport or renewal (600×600 sits inside the 600–1200 px range accepted online). For other uses that ask for '2×2', check whether they also specify a head size, which can vary. Beyond US passports, the 2×2 inch square turns up on all sorts of forms - visa applications for several countries, some professional licences, and ID cards - which is why it is worth having as a standalone size. The catch is that while the square is standard, the head-size rule attached to it is not: a US passport wants 25–35 mm chin-to-crown, but another form using '2×2' may specify something different, so read the specific requirement rather than assuming the passport rule applies everywhere. Everything runs in this tab - your photo is cropped, sized and handed back without being uploaded, which for a document photo is exactly right. Important: this tool sizes and frames the photo to the exact 2×2 in (51×51 mm) dimensions and shows a head-position guide, but it cannot certify that your photo meets every official rule. Always check the result against the official guidance before you submit it.
