The US Department of State requires a 600 × 600 pixel JPG under 240 KB for digital passport applications. We automatically crop your photo to square, resize to 600 × 600, and compress to fit.
Before using this tool: make sure your source photo matches the other state.gov requirements — full-face view, plain white background, no glasses, no hat. We only handle the file dimensions and size — composition is up to you.
Frequently asked questions
What are the official US passport photo specs?
600 × 600 to 1200 × 1200 pixels (we default to 600 × 600), JPG only, under 240 KB file size. See travel.state.gov for the full guidance on composition, lighting, and background.
Will this tool auto-center my face?
No — we center-crop geometrically. Start with a photo where your face is already in the middle.
Can I use this for Canadian or UK passports?
No — those have different requirements. See /for/passport-canada or /for/passport-uk.
