Make your US passport photo — auto-cropped to 2×2 in, 600×600 px, in about a minute.

No. We're an independent service that makes and checks passport photos — not affiliated with the U.S. government or the State Department. Their own free photo requirements page is linked below if you'd rather do it yourself.

Both. Every order includes the 600×600 JPEG that the online passport-renewal upload accepts, and for the in-person or mail-in paper form you can add a print-ready 4×6 sheet of six 2×2 in photos at checkout. Print the sheet on photo-quality paper for the paper form, or upload the file for online renewal.

2 x 2 inches (51 x 51 mm) in print, and 600 x 600 to 1200 x 1200 pixels square for the online renewal upload.

Both. It crops your photo to the official 2 x 2 inch frame, resizes it to 600 x 600 pixels, and replaces the background with plain white — maker, editor and cropper in one step.

Yes, the same photo in different units. A 2 x 2 inch photo at 300 dpi is exactly 600 x 600 pixels, which is why the State Department's print and digital specs line up.

For the online upload, between 54 KB and 10 MB, in JPG, JPEG, PNG, HEIC or HEIF. Yours arrives as a JPEG.

50 to 69% of the photo height, which is 1 to 1 and 3/8 inches (25 to 35 mm) from chin to crown, with the eyes 56 to 69% up from the bottom.

The digital file comes with every order. Add the print-ready 4 x 6 sheet at checkout and it holds six 2 x 2 inch photos.

Yes. There is a separate family flow that covers up to 10 people in one session.

Taken within the last six months and reflecting your current appearance.

No. The compliance checker is free and measures your existing file as-is against the spec without altering it. You only pay for the finished, submit-ready file.

Yes. Lay your baby on their back on a plain white or light blanket and photograph from above in daylight, with no hands or other people in the frame. Upload the result and we crop it to 2 x 2 inches and replace the background with pure white. Tick "baby under 1" at upload and the check applies the official infant relaxations instead of the adult rules.

No — for babies under 1 the official rules allow eyes partially or fully closed and a relaxed expression, so a sleeping newborn can pass. Declare the baby at upload and we check against those infant allowances.

You won't be charged. We show you exactly which check failed and how to fix it — move closer, find better light, use a plainer background — so you can retake and try again for free.
