Print at 2 × 2 inches (50.8 × 50.8 mm exact). Keep your real appearance and original background. The official page also describes this as 51 × 51 mm.
JPEG, PNG, WebP or HEIC/HEIF · up to 20 MB. Browser support varies for HEIC. No photo is sent to a server.
Start with your real photo.
We locate your face, suggest framing and flag possible pose problems. You review the remaining requirements.
Local analysis & measured facts
A correct file size does not make a photo acceptable. This check does not replace the authority’s final review.
Choose a photo to see measured format, byte size and pixel dimensions, alongside the items that need your confirmation.

Example output
600 × 600 px · 2 × 2 in at 300 DPI. Print at Actual Size / 100%.
A licensed real portrait demonstrates the output. It is not an approved application photo.
01 · Know the requirement
Start with a real, recent photo against the required background. Use the suggested framing, then fine-tune with zoom and position controls. The tool only crops, resizes and encodes the result; it does not remove shadows, replace backgrounds, change clothing or generate a face.
02 · Choose your next step
A correct outer square is only part of the task. Review the official composition rules and use the crown and chin guide lines yourself. Automatic estimates and manual guide placement do not certify the head position or whether the photo will be accepted.

Requirements can change. The authority’s current instructions and final review take precedence.
Questions about this task
Yes. Local JPEG and print-sheet downloads are available without an account or payment.
No. The supported document routes require an appropriate original photo. Retake against a suitable background rather than replacing it digitally.
For a 2 inch square at 300 DPI it is 600 × 600 pixels. At 600 DPI it is 1200 × 1200 pixels. The result panel shows the actual file parameters.
No. The crop preserves the original image proportions and crops the edges. Move and zoom the photo to choose the visible area.
You can take the 4 × 6 sheet to a lab that supports that print workflow. Ask for no enlargement or automatic corrections and measure the output.
For US online renewal, switch to the original-file check route. It does not create a cropped or recompressed renewal file.
