- Keep the full head and shoulders visible before cropping.
Crop and position

Drag the photo inside the frame. Keep the top of head and chin near the guide bands.
Background canvas fill
First use may take time because the AI model loads in your browser. After that, browser cache should make it faster.
When removal is enabled, the selected fill color replaces the transparent background. Drag and zoom the photo above to adjust the subject position.

2x2 preset
2x2 is a square size, not a full country rule
A 2x2 passport-style photo means the final image is square: 2 inches wide by 2 inches high. Kodotools prepares this as a 600 x 600 px JPG, which maps cleanly to 2 x 2 inches at 300 DPI.
Use this page when a form says 2x2, 2 x 2 inches, square passport photo, or 600 x 600 pixels. If your application gives a country-specific rule for head size, background, file size, or glasses, follow that official rule first.
2x2 vs US
Use the right page for the job
This page focuses on the general 2x2 square output: crop, 600 x 600 pixels, JPG download, and optional print sheet. It is useful when a portal simply asks for a 2x2 or square passport-style photo.
For a US passport application, use the US passport photo maker because US rules also mention photo age, head position, white or off-white background, and other acceptance checks.
When to use it
Good fit for square upload forms
Choose this 2x2 preset when your form asks for a square passport photo, a 2 inch by 2 inch photo, or a 600 x 600 pixel upload.
If the form asks for 35 x 45 mm, 350 x 467 px, 600 x 750 px, or another non-square size, use the passport photo resizer or a country-specific page instead.
How it works
Crop, resize, then compress only if needed
Upload locally
Choose a clear portrait from your device. JPG, PNG, WebP, and HEIC are handled in the browser.
Crop to square
Drag and zoom until the face is centered and the shoulders still look natural inside the 1:1 frame.
Download or compress
Export a 600 x 600 px JPG. If your portal has a KB limit, lower quality carefully or compress after the 2x2 crop.
Requirements
2x2 passport photo size in pixels
| Requirement | 2x2 passport photo setting |
|---|---|
| What 2x2 means | 2 inches wide x 2 inches high |
| Digital export | 600 x 600 pixels at 300 DPI |
| Shape | Square / 1:1 ratio |
| Format | JPG download |
| Background | Plain white, off-white, or light background based on your official rule |
| File size | Use the portal limit if one is given; otherwise avoid over-compressing |
| Best use | Forms that ask for 2x2, 2 x 2 inches, square passport photo, or 600 x 600 pixels |
2x2 is a size and ratio. The official country or visa rule still controls expression, glasses, background, photo age, and head-size details.
FAQ
2x2 passport photo questions
What is a 2x2 photo size?
A 2x2 photo is 2 inches wide and 2 inches high. It is a square photo format used by some passport, visa, and ID-style upload forms.
What is a 2x2 photo in pixels?
At 300 DPI, a 2 x 2 inch photo is 600 x 600 pixels. That is the square JPG export used on this page.
Is 2x2 only for US passport photos?
No. The US passport photo is a well-known 2x2 use case, but other forms may also ask for a square 2x2 photo. Always check the official rule for your exact application.
Should I use this page or the US passport page?
Use this page when you only need the general 2x2 or 600 x 600 square output. Use the US passport photo maker when you are preparing a photo specifically for a US passport application.
Should I compress the 2x2 photo after downloading?
Only compress it if your upload portal gives a file-size limit. Keep quality high enough that the face, eyes, and background remain clear.
Is my photo private?
Yes. The tool runs in your browser and does not upload the photo to Kodotools.
