Frequently Asked Questions: 2×2 Photo Crop & Converter

Can I convert a photo taken with my iPhone or Android into a 2×2 photo?

Yes! Any smartphone photo can be uploaded to this tool. Our converter frames the image into exact 1:1 square proportions and sets the output DPI to 300 (600×600 px) or 600 (1200×1200 px). Make sure you look straight into the lens with neutral lighting.

Is 2×2 inches exactly equal to 50×50 mm or 51×51 mm?

2.0 inches is mathematically 50.8 millimeters. The US Department of State and Indian consulates round this to 51×51 mm (or 2×2 inches). European standard photos are completely different: 35×45 mm. Do not use 2×2 inches for European Schengen visas.
