The Strict US Dept of State Requirements
Applying for a US passport or renewing it online requires a digital photo that meets incredibly strict parameters. The image must be exactly 600 x 600 pixels (a 1:1 square ratio) and the file size must be less than 240KB. If you take a selfie on a modern smartphone, it will be rectangular and likely over 3MB, causing immediate rejection by the portal. Our tool perfectly resizes your image to 600x600 and carefully compresses the JPEG quality to guarantee your file is accepted.
