Getting a passport photo at a pharmacy or post office in the USA costs $10–$20. Our free online tool creates a perfectly sized 2x2 inch passport photo that meets all US State Department requirements in seconds. No appointment, no waiting, no cost.
The US passport photo must be 2x2 inches (51x51mm). The face must be centered and take up 70–80% of the frame. The background must be plain white or off-white. Eyes must be open and clearly visible. Expression must be neutral with mouth closed. No glasses are permitted. The photo must be in color and taken within the last 6 months.
Stand about 4 feet from a white wall. Make sure lighting is even — no shadows on your face or the background. Look directly at the camera. Keep a neutral expression. Wear everyday clothing — no uniforms or camouflage. Have someone else take the photo or use a selfie stick to avoid arm-in-frame issues.
