Troubleshooting

Frequently asked questions

What size is a US passport photo?
2 × 2 inches — 600 × 600 pixels at 300 DPI. Your head should be about 1 to 1⅜ inches (roughly 50–69% of the frame height), centred, on a plain white or off-white background. This tool outputs exactly 600×600 px.
How do I position my head correctly?
Use the zoom and up/down sliders to frame your head so it fills roughly the middle 50–69% of the square, with your eyes looking straight at the camera. The preview updates live as you adjust.
Does it remove or change my background?
It fills the canvas edges with white (or a colour you choose) but does not cut you out. For acceptance, take the photo against a plain white wall so the background is already white.
Can I use it for a digital passport upload or the DV lottery?
Yes. It exports a 600×600 JPEG and lets you cap the file size (240 KB by default) to fit online upload limits. Always confirm the exact requirement on the official site you are submitting to.
Is my photo uploaded anywhere?
No. Your photo is processed entirely in your browser with an HTML canvas — nothing is uploaded, stored or shared, and no signup is needed.
