Concerning the 2 x 2 inches photo
Depending on the document you intend to apply for, the dimensions of the photograph can differ a lot. Sometimes the simplest way is to choose a universal photo in electronic form, from which you will be able to cut out any format you want, for example 2 x 2 inches. Our photo maker will help you with this, providing automatic cropping of uploaded photos. Ready and correctly prepared universal size photo can be used with the same effect as a photo for a specific document. You can get the photo on our website - Passport Photo Online or instead of using a photo generator visit the nearest photography studio, which offers taking pictures in 2 on 2 inches (51 on 51 mm) format. Definitely, however, this is a more time-consuming and more expensive solution. Hence it's worth using photograph framing tool.
Background of the 2 x 2 inches (51 by 51 milimetres) photo
As a rule a document photograph ought to have a uniform background. The background colour itself may vary depending on the specific application. Normally, however, it is a bright background, often white (#ffffffff) or light grey (for instance #fbfbfb), although, there may be a particular requirement regarding background of blue colour - #1250fa. With passport-photo.online photo generator tool you can get a photo with a uniform bright background. Just upload any photograph to the form above and our Background Removal Tool will do its job and you will get a photo on the perfectly bright background. Soon, there will also be an option to choose a specific background color. If you need it now, please contact us at [email protected]
2 x 2 inches Photo equivalents
The equivalents of a 2 x 2 inches size photograph are:
- 51 x 51 mm photo (i.e. photo's width 51 mm and height 51 milimetres)
- 5,1 x 5,1 centimetres photo (i.e. photo's width 5,1 cm and height 5,1 cm)
Proportions of the electronic version of the 2 by 2 inches photo
In the case of digital version photos only, it is fundamental to maintain the correct proportions, i.e. the ratio of the 2 inches width to the 2 inches height. Depending on the resolution (dpi) of the printout, these can be considerably different regarding dimensions expressed in pixels (px). E.g., these can be the sizes:
- for dpi=100 resolution: 200 x 200 px (width = 200 pixels, and height 200 pixels)
- for dpi=300 resolution: 600 x 600 px (width = 600 pixels, and height 600 pixels)
- for dpi=600 resolution: 1200 x 1200 px (width = 1200 pixels, and height 1200 pixels)
