What size is a US passport photo?
A US passport photo is 2 x 2 inches (51 x 51 mm), which is 600 x 600 pixels at 300 DPI. Your head must measure 1 to 1⅜ inches (25–35 mm) from chin to crown — roughly 50–69% of the height — on a plain white or off-white background, taken within the last six months.
The 2x2 square is unusual — most countries use the 35x45 mm European size — so photos sized for another country won't be accepted for a US passport.
Our passport tool has the US preset built in and exports at exactly 600 x 600 px, with the head-position guide lines to help you crop within the required range.
