Convert any photo to 2x2 inches (600x600) free

The US 2 x 2 inch photo standard equals a square digital photo, 600 x 600 pixels minimum, used for passports, visas, the DV lottery and green cards. You can convert any photo to this format free in your browser below: crop to a square with your head positioned correctly, resize to the exact pixels, and compress under upload limits. The file never leaves your device, and nothing about the image content is edited.

Converting the size does not make it compliant

A perfectly sized photo still fails on head size, background, shadows or expression. Size conversion is step one; checking the framing against the official spec is what actually prevents a rejection. Both run free on this page.

Common targets

US passport and visa: 2 x 2 in, 600 x 600 px minimum, DS-160 uploads under 240 KB. DV lottery: exactly 600 x 600 px under 240 KB. Green card: same 2 x 2 standard. The tools above handle all of these.

Frequently asked questions

Is 2x2 inches the same as 600x600 pixels?

At the standard 300 DPI print resolution, yes: 2 inches x 300 DPI = 600 pixels. Digital uploads specify pixels; prints specify inches.

Does converting count as editing the photo?

No. Cropping, resizing and compressing change the file, not the image content. Retouching, filters and background replacement are what US authorities reject.
