Passport photo for USA: 2 × 2 inch
This is the frame used for US passports and the square 2 × 2 inch photo every US document shares. 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
The US is one of the few countries on a square photo: 2 × 2 inches, 600 × 600 pixels or larger, with the head between 1 and 1 3/8 inches from chin to crown. This page makes that frame without arming a byte budget, which is what a passport application wants — the DS-160 visa upload additionally caps the file at 240 KB, so use the US visa page for that one.
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.
