Compress a passport photo to 600×600 online

Online passport and visa applications commonly require a square digital photo — 600×600 pixels (2×2 inch) with a file-size cap around 240 KB. FormFit's passport preset square-crops your photo to exactly 600×600 and compresses it under the limit, entirely in your browser. An ID photo is sensitive — with FormFit it is never uploaded to any server.

How to prepare a passport photo for online applications

Start from a recent, front-facing photo on a plain white or light background, with your full head visible.
Drop it into FormFit — the Passport photo preset center-crops to a perfect 600×600 square and compresses under 240 KB.
Check the preview and the green PASS badge, then download the JPEG for your application.

Photo requirements to double-check

Size and dimensions are only part of official photo rules — authorities also require a neutral expression, even lighting, no glasses glare and a recent capture date. FormFit handles the digital specification (exact pixels and KB); always confirm the composition rules on your application's official guidance. If your application asks for a different digital spec, the custom preset accepts any dimensions and KB limit.

Frequently asked questions

Is 600×600 the right size for my application?

600×600 (2×2 inch) is the common digital format for US visa/passport-style uploads and many other systems. Portals in other countries may differ — check your form's stated requirement, and use FormFit's custom preset if it's different.

Is it safe to process an ID photo online?

With FormFit, your photo never leaves your device — the cropping and compression run inside your own browser, and the tool works even offline. There is no server that could store or leak your ID photo.

Will cropping cut off part of my head?

FormFit center-crops to a square, so use a source photo with your head centered and some space above it. The before/after preview shows exactly what the cropped result looks like before you download.
