Sources
We check platform-specific dimensions against source documentation when available.
- U.S. Department of State - Passport Photos - Paper applications require an original, unchanged 2×2-inch photo; online renewal uses a separate digital-photo workflow.
- Adobe Photoshop - Resolution specs for printing images - Adobe describes 300 pixels per inch as the standard for detailed prints viewed up close.
Prepare a 2×2 Passport Photo
Use this only to prepare the 2×2-inch print canvas for a U.S. paper application. It does not check head position, background, expression, recency, retouching, or acceptance. Start with the sharpest original available. Resizing a small source to a larger canvas adds pixels but cannot restore detail that was never captured.

What size is a 2×2 Passport Photo?
600×600 pixels is the canvas used by this preset. For U.S. paper applications, submit the original unchanged photo and verify head size, background, recency, and all other State Department rules. Do not use this crop for online renewal.
Is 600×600 required?
The U.S. State Department requires a 2×2-inch printed photo for paper applications, but it does not require this specific pixel count. 600×600 maps that print size at 300 PPI.
Will enlarging a small image make it sharper?
No. Enlargement can meet the pixel dimensions, but it cannot recreate missing texture or focus. Use the largest original you have.
Should I check the result after resizing?
Yes. Review the crop, fine detail, text, and any destination-specific safe areas before you upload or print the file.
