Official US Department of State 2 × 2 Inch / 600 × 600 Pixel Requirements
Create compliant passport and visa photos without pharmacy printing charges
Whether you are renewing your American passport online, filing a USCIS immigration form, or entering the Diversity Visa lottery, submitting an unverified photo is the quickest way to face delays or outright denial.
The US Department of State mandates strict parameters: exact 2 × 2 inch square proportions, neutral lighting against a plain white or off-white backdrop, no eyeglasses, and a head size between 50% and 69% of the vertical frame.
Modifyle's interactive biometric canvas allows you to drag and zoom your snapshot until your chin and crown align with the official State Department markers. You can then download the high-resolution 600 × 600 px JPEG immediately.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the official US passport photo size?▼
The official dimensions for a US passport or visa photo are 2 × 2 inches (51 × 51 mm). When submitting digitally, the file must be a square image measuring at least 600 × 600 pixels (up to 1200 × 1200 pixels) at 300 DPI.
What is the head size rule for US passport photos?▼
The US Department of State requires that the distance from the bottom of your chin to the top of your head (crown) must be between 1 inch and 1 3/8 inches (25 mm and 35 mm). That means your head must take up between 50% and 69% of the image's total height.
Are eyeglasses allowed in US passport photos?▼
No. Eyeglasses are not allowed in US passport photos, even if you wear them daily. The only rare exception is for documented medical reasons signed by a physician.
Can I smile in my US passport photo?▼
The State Department requires a neutral facial expression or a natural smile with both eyes open and looking straight at the camera. Exaggerated smiles or grimaces will cause the photo to be rejected.
Can I use this photo for Green Card and USCIS forms?▼
Yes. USCIS, DS-160 visa applications, Diversity Visa (DV) lottery entries, and naturalization petitions all adhere to this identical 2 × 2 inch (600 × 600 px) standard.
