What is a 2x2 photo?
A 2x2 photo is a square photograph measuring exactly 2 inches by 2 inches (51 × 51 mm). It is the standard format for United States travel documents: passports, passport renewals (form DS-82), visa applications (DS-160), and most USCIS immigration forms.
The photo must show your full face on a plain white or off-white background, with your head measuring between 1 inch and 1 3/8 inches (25–35 mm) from chin to crown. Our tool applies these proportions automatically and shows guide lines so you can verify the head position before downloading.
Documents that use the 2x2 format include the US passport, India passport and OCI card, Saudi Arabia visa, and Mexico visa, among others. If you need a different size, pick your country in the tool above or browse all photo sizes.
Frequently asked questions
Is my photo uploaded to a server?
No. The AI background removal and cropping run entirely inside your browser using WebAssembly. Your photo never leaves your device, which also makes the tool fast and private.
Will my photo be accepted by the authorities?
The tool crops your photo to the exact official dimensions and places head-position guides based on each country's published requirements. You are responsible for following the posing rules (neutral expression, no glasses, even lighting), which are listed on each country page.
How do I print my passport photo?
The HD download includes a 4×6 inch print sheet with several copies laid out with cut lines. Print it at any pharmacy, photo kiosk or online print service as a standard 4×6 photo, then cut along the lines.
What does the free version include?
You can use every feature — background removal, cropping, all size presets — and download a watermarked preview for free. The one-time HD purchase removes the watermark and adds the print sheet.
What kind of photo should I start with?
Use a sharp, well-lit photo taken straight-on at eye level, with your full head and shoulders visible and some space around them. Avoid harsh shadows, hats and glasses.
