A 2 x 2 inch photo, about 51 x 51 mm, is the square format used for US passports and US visas, and for India OCI applications. This page opens the passport photo tool set to 2 x 2 inch with a white background. Add one clear photo, fit your face and download.
Because the photo is square, more of your shoulders and the background show than in a 35 x 45 photo. Centre your face, keep your shoulders level, and leave a little space above your head.
US-style photos ask for a plain white or off-white background. Make it white is already selected. The tool replaces the background behind you with white, which helps if you took the photo at home against a coloured wall.
Head size, glasses and other details are set by the official rules, and they are updated from time to time. Read the latest guidance on the official website for your application before you print or upload.
You get the single photo as a JPG at 300 dots per inch, which is 600 x 600 pixels for a 2 x 2 inch photo. Many online applications ask for a square digital photo, so this file is ready to try. If a form also gives a file size limit, run the JPG through Photo to KB.
The tool also makes an A4 PDF with several copies and thin grey cut lines. The default is 8 copies; As many as fit places 15 photos of this size on one sheet.
If you are applying from India or Pakistan for a US visa or an OCI card, this saves a trip to a studio that may not know the square size.
Square photos are often rejected for small reasons. The head is too small, because the photo was taken from far away and not zoomed in enough. The head is too big, touching the top edge. There are shadows on the face or behind the head. The photo is an old one, and the person looks different now. Or a selfie taken at arm's length makes the face look stretched. Use the oval guide in the tool to get the head size about right, keep the light even, and use a recent photo taken by someone else. Before you print a full sheet, look at the single JPG on a big screen and compare it with the official examples for your application.
