Passport photo for 2 × 2 inch: 2 × 2 inch

This is the frame used for US passports and visas, and the countries that follow the same square format — the Philippines, Pakistan and Bangladesh among them. 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

2 × 2 inches is 51 × 51 mm, and the US State Department wants at least 600 × 600 pixels — exactly 2 inches at 300 dpi. Being square is the part people miss: a normal photo has to be cropped, not squeezed, or the face comes out stretched.

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.

Questions

Frequently asked questions

01How do I make a 2 × 2 inch passport size photo online?

Drop a normal photo on the panel at the top of this page. The face is found automatically and the frame is placed on the head at 2 × 2 inch, so what you see is already the finished photo — drag or zoom if you want it different, then download 600 × 600 px. Nothing is uploaded: the detection, the crop and the export all run in your browser.

02Does it crop the photo around the face by itself?

Yes. The panel locates the face, works out where the crown and the chin are, and sizes the frame so the head fills the share of the picture the standard asks for with the eyes on the right line. It is a starting point, not a verdict: the frame can be dragged and zoomed, and the panel shows the head height it achieved so you can judge it. If no face is found — a scan, an unusual pose, a picture with no person in it — you get a plain message and a manual cropper locked to the same 2 × 2 inch shape.

03What are the exact dimensions for 2 × 2 inch?

2 × 2 inch, which is 600 × 600 px at 300 dpi. That is the frame this page produces, so the file matches what the form asks for without you doing any arithmetic.

04Can I turn a normal photo into a passport size photo?

Yes — that is exactly what the crop does. A phone photo has the wrong shape, so it has to be cut to the document frame rather than squeezed into it; the locked ratio makes that impossible to get wrong. Leave a little space above the head and keep the face centred, and the result is a valid frame.

05Can this change the background to white?

No. PIXLFLW crops, resizes and compresses — it does not remove or replace backgrounds, and any tool that claims to do it perfectly from an ordinary snapshot will usually leave halos around the hair that an official checker catches. Photograph yourself against a plain, evenly lit light wall with no shadow behind you, then crop and size the result here.

06Can I also make the file smaller in KB?

Yes. After the crop, switch on "Target file size" in the download dialog and type a limit in KB — useful for visa portals and appointment systems that cap the upload. The encoder finds the best quality that fits and reports the real size.

07Are my photos uploaded to a server?

No. PIXLFLW runs entirely in your browser: images are opened, edited and exported locally on your device and are never uploaded, stored or seen by anyone.

08Is it really free? Are there watermarks or limits?

Yes, completely free — no sign-up, no watermarks and no daily limits. The only practical limit is your browser memory for very large files (up to 20 MB per image).
