Frequently Asked Questions about 2×2 Inch Passport & US Visa Photo Resizer (600×600 px, ≤240 KB)
How many pixels is a 2×2 inch passport photo?
At the standard 300 DPI print resolution, a 2 × 2 inch passport photo is exactly 600 × 600 pixels. The US Department of State accepts square JPEG images from 600 × 600 pixels (minimum) up to 1200 × 1200 pixels (maximum).
What is the maximum file size for a US Visa DS-160 or DV Lottery photo?
Your digital JPEG photo must be less than or equal to 240 KB (240 kilobytes). At 600×600px, our JPEG encoder typically produces a crisp 45 KB to 95 KB file that passes the CEAC validator on the first try.
Why should I never stretch a portrait photo into a 600×600 square?
Biometric facial recognition systems reject photos where facial proportions are horizontally or vertically stretched. Either crop your photo to a 1:1 square around your head and shoulders first, or use 'Pad White (#FFF)' mode.
Is my passport photo uploaded to any server?
No! Biometric identity photos are sensitive personal data. JoyTools processes your photo 100% locally inside your browser memory using HTML5 Canvas—nothing is ever transmitted over the internet.
