PixverterHow to make your US passport photo (2×2) at home
- Ask someone to take a photo of you facing the camera, head and shoulders visible, in even light.
- Pick your country and document, then drop the photo into the box above.
- Download the digital photo, or the 4×6 print sheet with Pro.
Photo requirements
- 2×2 inches (51×51 mm), color, white or off-white background.
- Head 1 to 1⅜ inches (25–35 mm) from the bottom of the chin to the top of the head.
- No glasses since 2016; neutral expression or natural smile.
- Taken within the last 6 months.
Taking a good photo at home
- Stand about 1–2 m (4 ft) from the camera, which should be at eye level.
- Face a window for soft, even light; avoid shadows on your face and behind you.
- Remove glasses if your document requires it, keep a neutral expression and look straight ahead.
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.
Will my photo be accepted?
Pixverter sizes and positions your head to the official measurements and puts you on a plain white background. Acceptance also depends on the original photo: even lighting, a neutral expression, eyes open and facing the camera, and no shadows. Always check your government's current rules.
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.
Can I use it for online applications?
Yes. Many online forms accept the digital photo directly; the download is a 300 DPI JPG at the exact document size.
