Strict Requirements for Government ID Photos
Most passport agencies and visa portals (such as US State Dept, Schengen, UK Passport Office) strictly enforce 2x2 inch (51x51mm) photo dimensions with specific head ratio guidelines. Photos uploaded in non-square aspect ratios are automatically rejected.
Step-by-Step Passport Photo Cropping
- Take a photo against a plain white background with standard lighting.
- Open our passport photo cropper and select a square 1:1 aspect ratio.
- Frame your face so the crown of your head to chin fills 50% to 69% of the height.
- Resize the cropped square to 600 x 600 pixels using our JPG resizer.
