How to Use Our 2x2 Picture Size Converter

Create your ID photo with our 2x2 picture editor: PhotoAiD® for iOS or PhotoAiD® for Android. Here’s how it works:

  1. Provide an image

    Upload an existing photo into our app or web service. We also create baby passport pictures.

  2. Wait for the image to be resized

    Our passport photo resizer will take your image, convert it to a 2x2 picture and replace the background with solid white or off-white.

  3. Let our experts verify it

    Check the photo preview and decide if you like it. It’s your call—you can upload unlimited photos for free.

    After the approval, one of our experts will carefully review the image to ensure that every inch of your 2x2 photo meets official requirements.

    Keep in mind that your photo might not pass expert verification on the first try. If so, you'll get an email with instructions on how to retake your image and resubmit it for free.

  4. Choose the delivery method

    Digital photo or prints? Pick how you want us to send your new ID picture:

    1. Two 2x2 photo prints + a digital copy for $19.95 (delivery on us).
    2. Digital image + a printable template for $16.95.

Nothing highlights the benefits of our service better than customer testimonials from PhotoAiD’s Trustpilot page. Give them a read:

Easy peasy

Easy to do. I could use a photo I had already taken, and they cleaned up the background. A pure white background was unavailable and so I used a white door which had some design lines. These were removed. My daughter was very unwilling to have her picture taken in a public place like a post office. This was a solution for about the same price. If you have 3 or 4 days for the mailing, this is perfect.

High quality photos and customer…

High-quality photos and customer service are very professional. Even if I ask questions on the weekend, I could get an immediate reply. I am very willing to recommend it to my friends and family. Really thanks for the great team :)

PhotoAid is fantastic

PhotoAid is fantastic! I attempted for hours on my own to upload a photo for a Pakistan tourist visa, but every time experienced failure - kept getting an error message: “Unable to detect face”. It was very frustrating! I tried PhotoAid and the app version photo did not work, but PhotoAid customer service worked on the image and I was able to successfully upload my photo image. I am so pleased with the extra service and effort that PhotoAid provided! I highly recommend PhotoAid!

A very useful App that delivers your photo needs!

The App is very cool. It is very easy to use and very handy when you need it. I was interested in a digital photo for an e-visa application and I got one for myself and my family. One improvement I would recommend is to review the photo requirements for a traditional visa application vs an e-visa application. For example in my case the photo requirement for the e-visa was different. I also like that the pictures taken by the app are reviewed by human. I would definitely use it for myself and my family in the future. I will also recommend it to my family and friends.

Frequently asked questions

You can print 2x2 photos at local big-box retailers like CVS, Walgreens, or Walmart. 

You can try our online 2x2 photo converter, PhotoAiD®. All you need to do is take a picture and upload it to our tool. Your government-compliant 2x2 picture will land in your inbox instantly after you finalize the order.

You’ll need a 2x2 passport photo template (with four side-by-side images). With PhotoAiD® for iOS or PhotoAiD® for Android, you can make one in a few taps.

There’re several options:

  • Visit a retailer offering photo-taking services (e.g., CVS).
  • Look for “2x2 passport photo near me” to find local photography studios.
  • Use a 2x2 picture converter like PhotoAiD®.

A 2x2 photo measures 51x51 cm, which is the required visa and passport photo size in the US as well as several other countries.

You can crop a photo to 2x2 inches for free with our online photo cropper. However, it doesn’t offer an expert check, which means that passport agents may reject your photo. To get a fully compliant 2x2 photo, try PhotoAiD®.
