Passport Photo Maker - 2x2 and 35x45 mm Print Sheets

Make a U.S. 2x2 passport photo sheet

The U.S. passport photo is 2 x 2 inches, which is 51 x 51 mm. The same size is required for U.S. visa applications and is accepted for many other identity documents. Open the tool, drop in a headshot, keep the default U.S. 2 x 2 preset, and click Generate sheet to get a print-ready file.

The output is a single JPG sized for 4 x 6 or 6 x 4 photo paper at 300 DPI. You can take that file to a print kiosk, a drugstore photo counter, or your home photo printer. Always print at 100 percent scale with no fit-to-page so the physical dimensions stay exact.

PhotoTools does not check whether your headshot itself meets U.S. State Department rules on background, lighting, head height, or expression. It creates the print sheet. Compare the finished print against the official passport photo requirements before submission.

35x45 mm and custom passport photo sizes

35 x 45 mm is the most common non-U.S. passport size and is used across the UK, the EU, Australia, China, and many other countries. Pick the 35 x 45 mm preset to switch to that size; the column and row count will auto-adjust to fit a 4 x 6 inch or 6 x 4 inch photo paper.

For any size not in the presets, select Custom and enter width and height in millimeters. The tool converts to pixels at the chosen DPI and lays out as many copies as fit on the sheet. Use this for travel visa formats, school IDs, employee badges, or country-specific sizes you have looked up separately.

Common passport photo sizes

These are the sizes most often requested in PhotoTools. Pick a matching preset, or enter custom dimensions when your document requires something different. Always verify the current rule for your specific document before printing.

DPI, inches, millimeters and pixels

DPI means dots per inch. At 300 DPI, one inch is 300 pixels in the print file. A 2 x 2 inch photo therefore needs a 600 x 600 pixel area. Millimeter sizes are converted to inches and then to pixels so the printed sheet matches the intended physical size.

The math matters because printers and labs assume the file is already at print scale. If your photo viewer or the printer dialog stretches or shrinks the image, the physical photo will not match the requirement. Disable fit-to-page and select the exact paper size before printing.

Print on 4x6 or 6x4 photo paper

4 x 6 inch is the standard small-format photo paper sold at drugstores, supermarkets, and online photo labs. It is also the default for most photo kiosks. Both 6 x 4 (landscape) and 4 x 6 (portrait) orientations are supported; the tool auto-fits the photo count to whichever sheet you choose.

For best results, use photo paper rather than plain paper, set the printer to the exact 4 x 6 size, and disable any auto-scaling or fit-to-page option. After the sheet comes out, measure one photo with a ruler before cutting the full layout. If the size is off, the cause is almost always printer scaling, not the file itself.

What this tool does not check

PhotoTools creates the print layout and physical size. It does not verify face height, background color, shadows, glasses, expression, age of the photo, or whether an application agency will accept the image. Compare the final photo with the official instructions for your document before submitting.

If you need help getting the source headshot right, take the photo in even, diffused light against a plain off-white wall, keep the camera at eye level, look straight at the lens, and remove tinted lenses. Country-specific rules vary on smile, mouth, head tilt, and how recent the photo must be.

Why browser-side layout matters

Passport and visa photos are personal identity images. Uploading them to a third-party converter just to arrange a print sheet is unnecessary when the browser can do the layout work locally. PhotoTools uses the selected paper size, DPI, and photo dimensions to build the printable file on your device.

Local processing also makes it convenient when an application office requests a different size later. You can regenerate a 35 x 45 mm sheet, a 2 x 2 inch sheet, or a custom layout from the same portrait without creating an account or sending the image through a remote editor.
