Resize a photo to 2 × 2 inches

Resize a photo to 2 x 2 inches, saved as 600 x 600 pixels at 300 DPI so it prints at the right size. Free, private, and nothing is uploaded.

Before you start

2 × 2 inches (about 51 × 51 mm) is the US passport photo size, and 5 of the 83 documents on SafeResize use it, including the US passport and the US Green Card. Other places that ask for it include Egypt, Ethiopia and the Philippines, and it is a common square size for other forms too.

The tool below opens with 2 × 2 inches at 300 DPI, which is 600 × 600 pixels. The DPI is saved in the file, so a print shop or your printer makes it exactly 2 inches wide. Print at actual size (100%), not "fit to page".

Questions and answers

How many pixels is a 2 x 2 inch photo?

600 × 600 pixels at 300 DPI, and 1200 × 1200 at 600 DPI. SafeResize uses 300 DPI unless you change it under "More options".

Is 2 x 2 inches the same as 5 x 5 cm?

Almost. 2 inches is 50.8 mm, or 5.08 cm. Official rules usually write it as 51 × 51 mm.

Will it crop my photo?

Your photo is probably not square, so you choose: "Fill the frame" cuts off the edges, "Show all of it" adds white edges. For a passport photo, use "Fill the frame" and drag the face to the middle.
