How to make a US passport photo

Upload a front-facing photo with a plain, light background.
Pick “US passport — 2 × 2 in”. The canvas auto-sizes to 600×600 px (300 dpi).
Drag and zoom so your head fits the green guide box (25–35 mm from chin to crown).
Run the checks — background evenness, exposure, head size.
Export a single 300dpi JPG or a 4×6 print sheet.

FAQ

Will this be accepted? The tool follows the official 2×2 / 51×51 mm spec and flags common rejects (shadows, over-exposure, wrong head size). We can't guarantee any individual photo is accepted — always review the printed result.
