How To Make This Photo

1

Upload a clear photo

Choose a recent front-facing photo for your United States passport photo with even lighting and a plain background.

2

Crop to the required size

Use the crop guide to frame the face and shoulders for the United States passport photo dimensions.

3

Download a ready file

Export the finished United States passport photo as a digital image or print-ready sheet without sending the photo to a server.

Common Mistakes

Using a casual selfie

A selfie can distort the face and shoulders. Use a straight camera angle for your United States passport photo.

Leaving shadows behind the head

Uneven wall shadows make the United States passport photo look edited or non-standard, so retake the photo in softer light if needed.

Exporting the wrong dimensions

Do not stretch a photo after downloading. Generate the United States passport photo at the requested size from the start.

About This Passport Photo Page

A United States passport photo needs more than a quick crop. The face must be centered, the lighting should be balanced, and the file should keep the requested 2x2 inch proportions from upload through download. This page gives you a focused United States preset, a requirements summary, and a browser-based editor so you can prepare a compliant-looking photo before you submit or print it.
