Which forms need 2×2 photos

Requirements change; always read the current instructions on uscis.gov for your form before you print.

Form I-485 (adjustment of status): two identical passport-style photos.
Form I-130 and I-130A: photos of the petitioner and beneficiary in some cases.
Form I-765 (work permit) and I-131 (travel document): two photos each.
Form I-90 (green card renewal) usually does not need photos: USCIS takes them at the biometrics appointment.

Printing the photos

Download the 4×6 print sheet (Pro) and print it as a standard 4×6 photo at a pharmacy or photo kiosk, at actual size.
Cut along the guides. Write your name and A-number lightly in pencil on the back if the form instructions ask for it.
Do not staple through the face; use a paper clip or put the photos in a small envelope.

Green Card Lottery (DV) photos are different

The Diversity Visa lottery takes a digital photo only: a square JPEG of 600×600 to 1200×1200 px, 240 KB or less. Pixverter's digital download (600×600 px) fits those rules; check the current DV instructions before you submit.

Frequently asked questions

Are my photos uploaded?

No. The AI model runs inside your browser, on your own device. Your photos are never sent to a server, which makes Pixverter safe for personal and confidential images.

Can I take green card photos myself?

Yes. USCIS accepts photos taken at home as long as they meet the specifications: 2×2 inches, plain white background, correct head size, good lighting and a recent likeness.

Are glasses allowed?

Follow the same rule as US passports: remove them. Medical exceptions need a signed doctor's statement.

How do I print it?

Download the 4×6 in print sheet (Pro) and print it as a standard 4×6 photo at any pharmacy or photo lab, then cut along the guides. Printing at "actual size" keeps the exact measurements.
