Use an evenly lit white or off-white background with no distracting shadows. Face the camera directly with a neutral expression and both eyes open; avoid filters, retouching, and perspective distortion.
For U.S. photos, head height from chin to top of hair should generally be 1–1⅜ inches, with eye height about 1⅛–1⅜ inches from the bottom. The oval is a framing aid—not automated biometric validation.
Print at actual size with scaling disabled. Photo kiosks may auto-crop or color-correct, so inspect the final sheet and measure the physical photo before cutting.
Requirements change and can differ by application type. Verify background, recency, expression, eyewear, head covering, and digital-file rules with the issuing authority.

Two inches multiplied by 300 dots per inch equals 600 pixels, so a 2×2-inch photo at 300 DPI is 600×600 pixels. The single-photo export uses those dimensions and writes 300-DPI JFIF density metadata.
Yes. Six 2×2 photos fit in a two-column by three-row layout on a borderless 4×6-inch sheet. The sheet export is generated at 1200×1800 pixels and 300 DPI.
U.S. guidance calls for the head, measured from chin to top of hair, to occupy 1 to 1⅜ inches of a 2-inch photo. Eye height is generally 1⅛ to 1⅜ inches from the bottom. Use the oval as a visual aid and verify current official requirements before submission.
