What documents use the 600x600 photo format?

Where can I print 600x600 photos?

Since a 600x600-pixel image is digital by default, there’s no need to print it if you’re submitting a document application online.

However, for documents that require both printed and electronic copies of your biometric photographs (e.g., Green Card), there are several different options available.

You might want to visit your local photography studio, a pharmacy that offers photo-printing services or simply search for “photo prints near me” in your preferred search engine.

We’ve done some research for you already. If you take into account the service price, take a look at these cheap options for passport photo prints.

How to make a 600x600 pixel photo at home?

Since most brick-and-mortar locations offer only printed copies of your biometric photographs, your home is the best place to get your 600x600-pixel image.

First, learn how to take a biometric photo yourself—all you need is your smartphone, and a couple of minutes of your time.

Once you have the photo, you can choose to either resize your picture using your smartphone or upload it to your computer.

Most software, like Photoshop, requires a certain amount of technical skills to use them. Simpler applications may not offer automatic functions, so you’ll have to resize the photo and remove the background manually.

Another solution? Create your 600x600 image with a smartphone and a dedicated tool like Passport Photo Online.
