How to

How to make a 2x2 picture

  1. 1

    Add a front facing photo

    Plain light wall behind you, even light on your face, shoulders visible.

  2. 2

    Crop and add your name tag

    The frame is locked to a square. Switch on the name tag and type your full name; the photo is placed above it, never covered.

  3. 3

    Download or print

    Save the 600 x 600 px photo for online forms, or the 4R (4 x 6 in) sheet with 6 copies for printing.

Why this size

2x2 picture size in cm, inches and pixels

A 2x2 picture is 2 inches on each side, which is 5.08 x 5.08 cm. At 300 DPI, the standard for printing, that is 600 x 600 pixels.

It is the usual size for school records, IDs and job applications in the Philippines, often with a name tag: a white strip under the photo with your full name. Instead of building it in Word or Canva, crop your photo here and the size, the name tag and the print layout are done for you. For a smaller photo box, the 1x1 picture is half as wide and tall: 2.54 cm square.

A US passport photo is also 2 x 2 inches, but it follows the State Department's rules instead: no name tag, the head 1 to 1 3/8 inches tall and a plain white background. Make that one with the US passport photo maker. To print either size, the 4R sheet is the same paper as a 4x6 photo.

Tips

Tips that make a difference

Wear a collared top

Formal attire is expected for most school and job pictures. Plain colors that differ from the background look best.

Write the name as your form wants it

Many forms want the full name in capital letters, for example JUAN A. DELA CRUZ. Type it exactly that way.

Print at actual size

When printing the 4R sheet, set the printer to 100% or Actual size, not Fit to page, so each picture is exactly 5.08 cm.

How we checked this page

Checked by the SizePort team on .

We test the tool with sample photos before it goes live and check that the sizes on this page match what it produces. Rules and platforms change, so if something here is out of date, tell us and we will correct it.

How the tool works

The tool scales your image once, from the original pixels, to the size you set at 300 DPI, and writes 300 DPI into the file so it prints at that size. Everything happens in your browser; your images are never uploaded.
