FAQ

2 × 2 inch photo: questions and answers

What size is a 2 × 2 photo in pixels?

2 × 2 inches at 300 DPI is 600 × 600 pixels, which is what this page makes. US online forms accept square photos from 600 × 600 up to 1200 × 1200 px.

What file size does the US visa (DS-160) photo need?

The online form asks for a JPEG of 240 KB or less, so Under 240 KB is chosen here. A 600 × 600 px photo fits easily at high quality.

Can I use this for the DV lottery or a green card?

The size is the same 600 × 600 px square. The tool makes the size and file size right, but you still need to follow the photo rules about background, lighting and expression.

Is my photo uploaded to a server?

No. The image is resized inside your web browser on your own device, so 0 bytes are uploaded and nothing is stored. It even works offline once the page has loaded.
