2x2 photo size—in detail
When it comes to perfecting your 2x2 photos, nailing the dimensions is key.
While our friends in the United States and Canada are more familiar with imperial measurements (think inches, feet, yards, and miles), the vast majority of the globe uses the metric system.
So, a 2-by-2-inch passport photo equates to:
- 51x51 millimetres (i.e., the height and width of the image both equal 51 mm) or
- 5.1x5.1 centimetres (since 10 mm = 1 cm)
In addition, the subject’s head (defined as the area from the bottom of the chin to the top of the head) needs to fit within specific dimensions for US documents, measuring between 1–1⅜” (25–35 mm).
And lastly, when you’re dealing with digital 2x2 photos, keep these specifications in mind:
- File size: Must be less than or equal to 240 KB
- Digital dimensions: Ranging between 600x600 and 1200x1200 pixels

Lots of software exists that, for a small fee, will automatically turn your photo into a 2x2 picture. For example, try Passport Photo Online, which promises compliant 2x2 photos in only a few seconds.
