The specification
These are the numbers your photo is measured against, transcribed from Official US passport photo requirements (travel.state.gov) — verifiable at the source, which is linked under the table:
| Photo size | 2×2 in (51×51 mm) · 600×600 to 1200×1200 pixels, square |
|---|---|
| File size | 54 KB to 10 MB |
| Format | JPEG |
| Head height | 50–69% of the photo's height (1 to 1⅜ in / 25–35 mm) |
| Eye height | 56–69% up from the bottom of the photo |
| Background | Plain white or off-white |
Who does what
Everything on the left is measurement and file work, which is what the maker is for. Everything on the right happens before the photo exists.

Questions
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. You get a print-ready 4×6 sheet of six 2×2 in photos for the in-person or mail-in paper form, and a 600×600 JPEG that the online passport-renewal upload accepts. Print the sheet on photo-quality paper for the paper form, or upload the file for online renewal.
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.
Instant refund: open the refund link in your receipt, tell us it was rejected, and the money goes back to your card on the spot — no screenshots, no forms. Covers 30 days from purchase.
It’s used only to run the checks, downloadable by you for 7 days, then deleted automatically. No account, no photo library, no reuse.
