Why Do You Need a 2x2 Inch Photo?
US Department of State Standard
2 x 2 inches (51 x 51 mm) is the absolute strict requirement for US Passports, US Visas (DS-160), and the Diversity Visa (Green Card) Lottery.
Required for India OCI
If you are applying for an Overseas Citizenship of India (OCI) card or an Indian eVisa, the government requires a 2x2 inch square photo. This tool generates exactly what you need.
Guaranteed Portal Acceptance
Government portals scan your uploaded image instantly. If the pixel dimensions are even slightly off 600x600 px, you will be rejected. Our tool forces mathematical compliance.
Total Privacy Protection
We respect the security of your face and identity. The cropping and compression happen strictly inside the memory of your own device's web browser. We never upload your photo to our servers.
Frequently Asked Questions
At the government-mandated standard of 300 DPI, a 2x2 inch photo translates to exactly 600 pixels in width and 600 pixels in height. Our tool automatically performs this conversion for you.
Look directly into the camera lens with a neutral expression (both eyes open, no smiling). Do not wear glasses. Ensure your face takes up about 50-69% of the total height. You must stand against a plain white or off-white background.
The US State Department requires digital photos to be under 240KB. Simply look at the Settings box on the right side of our editor. Find the "Max File Size" input and type "240". When you click download, our algorithm will mathematically compress the photo to fit perfectly under that limit.
Yes! The OCI card application requires a 2x2 inch square photo (or 51x51mm). It must be at least 200x200 pixels, but our default 600x600 pixels is perfectly acceptable and higher quality. Note: OCI might require a file under 200KB, so use our KB limiter if needed.
