2×2 Passport Photo Maker
A 2 × 2 inch photo is 51 × 51 mm. Fogkits’ US preset exports that square at 600 × 600 pixels on white. The India preset uses the same square. That matches some embassy 2×2 pages, not the booklet’s 4.5 cm by 3.5 cm paper photo. Read the India page before an Indian application.
The US page is the 2×2 specification. The India page separates the embassy 2×2 size from the booklet’s 4.5×3.5 cm paper photo.

Frequently asked questions
- Is 2×2 the same as 51×51 mm?
- Yes. 2 × 2 inches is 51 × 51 mm. That is the US printed passport size. It is also the size on checked Embassy of India pages, but not the Passport Seva booklet’s 4.5 cm by 3.5 cm paper photo.
- What pixel size does Fogkits export for 2×2?
- 600 × 600 pixels for the US and India presets, intended for a 2 × 2 inch print at 300 DPI.
- Do UK applications use 2×2?
- No. Fogkits’ UK preset is 35 × 45 mm (413 × 531 px) with a light grey or cream background. Use /passport-photo/gb or /passport-photo/35x45.
- Can I print a 2×2 at home?
- If your authority accepts home prints, use photo-quality paper and verify the printed square is truly 2 × 2 inches with a ruler.
- Is a white wall enough?
- A plain white or off-white wall without shadows usually works for US-style photos. Patterned wallpaper or harsh window shadows often fail.
- Does Fogkits guarantee a 2×2 will be accepted?
- No. Size alone is not enough — pose, background and authority-specific rules still apply.
