2x2 Passport Photo Maker
A US passport photo is 2×2 inches — which at the standard 300 DPI print resolution means exactly 600×600 pixels, square, head centered, plain white background. Photo studios charge $15 for this; your phone plus a free resizer does the same job in a minute. Re-Sizefy handles the sizing step in your browser — no upload of your ID photo to some random server, which is exactly what you want for a picture of your face.
Step-by-step: make a 2x2 passport photo
- Take the photo correctly. Plain white wall, face the camera, neutral expression, no glasses, even lighting with no harsh shadows. Frame from mid-chest up with space around the head.
- Crop it square. The resizer scales proportionally and never stretches, so the image must already be square — crop a 1:1 square around your head and shoulders in any editor first, leaving the official head-size margins.
- Drop it into Re-Sizefy. One file is all you need.
- Resize to 600×600. Set the resize width to 600 — since the image is square, the height lands on 600 automatically. That is 2×2 inches at 300 DPI, the standard passport spec.
- Export JPG at quality 90+ and download. Use high quality for an official document photo; the file stays small anyway at this size. Print at a drugstore kiosk or photo printer at 300 DPI for a true 2×2 inch print.
Quality tips
For official documents, always verify the current requirements on the issuing authority's site (travel.state.gov for US passports) — specs change, and a rejected photo costs weeks.
Print matters as much as pixels: a 600×600 file printed at 300 DPI is exactly 2×2 inches. If the kiosk offers “fit to page”, turn it off — it will rescale your carefully sized photo.
Take the photo in daylight facing a window for the most even, shadow-free lighting — bad lighting is the most common reason DIY passport photos get rejected.
Things to watch out for
- This tool resizes; it does not restyle. It cannot whiten a background, remove shadows, or fix head positioning. The photo must already meet the composition rules before resizing.
- Do not upscale a tiny crop. If your square crop is only 300px, stretching it to 600px produces a soft, possibly rejected photo. Start from the full-resolution phone photo and crop generously.
- One country, one spec. 2×2 inches is the US standard; many countries use 35×45mm instead. Resize to 600×600 for the US, and check your country's exact spec otherwise.

Frequently asked questions
What pixel size is a 2x2 passport photo?
600×600 pixels at 300 DPI — the standard US passport spec. Set resize width to 600 on a square crop.
Can I use a selfie as a passport photo?
If it meets the rules: plain white background, neutral expression, no shadows, correct head size and positioning. Most rejections are about composition, not pixels.
Will my photo be accepted?
Sizing is only one requirement. Always check the official requirements (travel.state.gov for the US) for background, head size, and recency rules.
Is it safe to process my ID photo here?
Yes — resizing happens locally in your browser. Your photo is never uploaded to any server.
