US passport and visa photo (2 × 2 inch)
US passports and DS-160 visa applications use a square 2 × 2 inch photo (51 × 51 mm). The digital version is 600 × 600 pixels. ScanifyAI crops to this size and gives you a white background.
The photo stays on your device. The U.S. Department of State publishes detailed rules on head size and quality, so check travel.state.gov before submitting.
