What is a 2×2 Picture?
A 2×2 picture is a square photo measuring 2×2 inches, which equals 5.08×5.08 cm (51×51 mm). At 300 DPI print quality, this image is 600×600 pixels. It is the most common official photo size in the United States and is required for:
- US passport and passport card applications
- DV Lottery (Diversity Visa) entries
- Green card (permanent resident) applications
- US citizenship (naturalization) applications
- US visa applications at embassies worldwide
- TSA PreCheck, Global Entry, and NEXUS enrollment
- Many employment and identification documents
The physical dimensions are always 2×2 inches = 5.08×5.08 cm, but the pixel count depends on the required resolution. Most US government agencies accept 600×600 px at 300 DPI.
How to Make a 2×2 Picture
- Upload your photo. Use the tool below to select a picture from your device. For best results, use a photo taken in front of a plain white wall in even lighting. The photo should show your full face looking directly at the camera.
- Adjust the crop. Center your face in the frame. For passport use, your head should fill 70–80% of the image height from chin to crown. The tool shows a live preview of the final 2×2 picture as you drag.

The head must fill 70–80% of the frame, the background must be plain white, and the photo must have been taken within the last 6 months.

What is the difference between 2x2 and 35x45?
A 2×2 photo is 2×2 inches (51×51 mm) and is the standard used in the United States for passports, DV Lottery, and green card applications. A 35×45 mm photo is slightly smaller and taller (roughly 1.38×1.77 inches) and is the standard used in the UK, EU, and many other countries. The two formats are not interchangeable — always check which size your document requires.
