Free 2x2 Passport Photo Tool
Make a passport photo at home: crop to the standard size, hit any file-size limit, and keep the photo on this device.
No upload, no face scan — by design
A face photo is about as sensitive as personal data gets. This tool runs entirely in your browser: nothing is uploaded, nothing is stored, and no facial-recognition or biometric processing is used anywhere. You position the face yourself with drag and zoom. The output file contains no location or device metadata.
What the 2×2 format covers
The same square format is used for U.S. passports, visa applications, and green card photos. At 300dpi that is 600×600 pixels. Online submission systems often cap file size — use the size-limit buttons to land under 100KB or 200KB without changing the pixel dimensions.

Dimensions follow published specifications as a reference. Review the official photo requirements before submitting.
Frequently asked questions
What size is a U.S. passport photo in inches and pixels?
2×2 inches, which is 600×600 pixels at 300dpi. The head should measure between 1 and 1⅜ inches from chin to crown, with a plain white or off-white background. This tool handles the crop and file size; you position the face yourself with drag and zoom.
Is my photo uploaded anywhere?
No. Cropping, compression, and saving all happen inside your browser. The photo never touches a server, and no facial-recognition or biometric technology is used — positioning is fully manual. The saved file also carries no location metadata.
Will this photo definitely be accepted?
No tool can guarantee that. This site is not affiliated with, or endorsed by, the U.S. Department of State or any government agency. The dimensions follow published specifications, but requirements like background, lighting, glasses, and expression are judged by the reviewing agency. Check the official guidance before submitting.
How do I make a passport photo at home?
Take a well-lit photo against a plain white or off-white wall, load it here, and drag and zoom until the head sits inside the 2x2 frame. The tool handles the crop and the file size; you keep the original untouched.
Does it replace the background with white?
No — there is no automatic background removal, so the photo needs a plain white or off-white background to begin with. Only leftover margins are filled with white when the crop doesn't cover the full frame.
Why not just pay at a pharmacy?
Drugstores and shipping stores typically charge $15–20 for passport photos. If you can take a well-lit photo against a plain background, this tool does the formatting for free — and unlike many free apps, it adds no watermark and collects nothing.
