Square crop
The final output should be square, not a tall portrait crop or a loose phone screenshot.
US-style photo size
2x2 baby passport photo size guide
The 2x2 inch format is common for US passport and visa photo workflows. For babies, the hard parts are usually source quality, background cleanup, and keeping the face centered in the square output.
2x2 photo checklist
Plain light background
Use white or off-white background cleanup and avoid visible blankets, hands, or objects.
Correct output route
Choose a digital file, printable 4x6 sheet, or both depending on the application.
How to make the 2x2 file
1
Start with a clear photo
Use a sharp front-facing image with as little motion blur as possible.
2
Select the 2x2 preset
Use the US-style square preset in the maker when that matches your document route.
3
Center the face
Check that the head is not too low, too high, or cut off by the crop.
4
Export and review
Download the final digital photo or a printable sheet after confirming the target rules.
Country note
Use the US page for final context
The 2x2 format is only one part of the file. Check the US baby passport page for country-specific background, crop, and rejection notes.
