How to make a passport photo size image
- Select Choose files and add a portrait photo, or drop it on the box.
- The tool crops from the center and saves a 600 × 600 pixel square. That is 2 × 2 inches at 300 dpi, the size used for US passports and many visas.
- Select Download and check the face is centered and fully visible.
What this tool does and does not do
It resizes and crops a photo to a square at the standard pixel size. It does not remove the background, edit your face, or check official rules. Requirements differ by country: India uses 35 × 45 mm, the UK 35 × 45 mm, and the US 2 × 2 inches. For a different size, enter your numbers in the image resizer, choosing Fill and crop, and use pixel values (inches × 300 dpi, or millimeters × 11.8 for 300 dpi).
Most offices also want a plain light background, a neutral expression, no glasses and a recent photo. If a photo is taken under uneven light or at an angle, it may be rejected whatever the pixel size.
Tips
- Take the photo at arm’s length against a plain wall, with the camera at eye level.
- Check the face fills about 70 to 80 percent of the height after cropping. Crop tighter with the crop tool if needed.
- Online forms often limit file size. Use Compress to 200KB afterwards.
- Convert HEIC photos with HEIC to JPG first.
Printing your photo
A 600 × 600 pixel image prints at 2 × 2 inches when the printer uses 300 dots per inch, which is the standard for photo labs. Many print shops and online services accept this file directly, and some let you fit several copies on one 4 × 6 inch sheet. Always compare the result with the official guidelines of the country you apply to, since head size, background color and photo age rules vary and are checked by the issuing office, not by this tool.
Your photo never leaves your device. It is processed locally, and there is no sign-up, so it is safe for ID photos.
