Pixels depend on the print resolution. This is straight arithmetic from the size in millimetres.
| Resolution | Pixels |
|---|---|
| 150 DPI | 300 × 300 px |
| 300 DPI | 600 × 600 px |
| 600 DPI | 1200 × 1200 px |
Exactly 2 inches is 50.8 mm, which is 600 pixels at 300 DPI. Some sources round this to 51 mm, and 51 mm is 602 pixels at 300 DPI. The tables above use the exact inch figure; the presets below use the number each source states.
About the United States: 2 × 2 inches is the size generally associated with US passport and visa photos, but we have not been able to read the current State Department requirements in full, so we do not offer a verified US preset. Check travel.state.gov for the current rule.
