Passport photo for US passport: 2 × 2 inch
This is the frame used for a US passport application or renewal — the printed 2 × 2 inch photo that goes with the paper form, and the digital photo the online renewal asks you to upload. Drop a normal photo above and the editor opens with two steps already prepared: a crop locked to the 2 × 2 inch shape, and a resize fixed at 600 × 600 px. Drag the frame over the face, then download — the result is the exact size the form expects, and PIXLFLW never sends the picture anywhere. Everything runs inside your browser.
What makes this size different
This is the one US photo with a minimum file size instead of a maximum: the online renewal takes a JPG, JPEG, PNG, HEIC or HEIF between 54 KB and 10 MB, so compressing hard is a way to fail it — leave the export budget switched off. The paper route has no byte limit at all. Either way the picture must be under six months old, and the passport office refuses an image with visible pixels, so work from the largest original you have rather than a screenshot.
Crop, do not stretch
The single most common mistake is forcing a rectangular phone photo into the document box, which widens or narrows the face until an official checker rejects it. Cropping cuts a correctly shaped piece out of the photo instead, and the locked ratio here makes any other outcome impossible. Leave a little space above the head, keep the eyes in the upper half of the frame and the head roughly centred left to right.
Printing and dpi
600 × 600 px is 2 × 2 inch at 300 dpi, the resolution photo labs print at. A file with those pixel dimensions prints at the correct physical size without any scaling, and it is also what an online form means when it asks for a passport size photo as a JPG.
What this tool does not do
It does not remove or replace the background, and it cannot make a poorly lit snapshot into a compliant one. Photograph yourself against a plain, evenly lit light wall with no shadow behind you, facing the camera with a neutral expression, then crop and size the result here. Doing the framing properly is what the form actually checks.
Free, unlimited, private
No sign-up, no watermark and no daily limit. JPG, PNG, WEBP, HEIC and more go in; JPG comes out, which is what document portals accept. The photo is decoded, cropped and encoded on your own device, so an identity document never leaves it.
