What size is a US visa photo?

US visa and passport photos must be 2×2 inches (51×51mm). At 300 DPI, that is 600×600 pixels, which is the default setting in this tool.

Can I use this for a driver license photo?

Yes. Most US state driver licenses use a square or near-square format. The 2×2 inch crop works for most state DMV photo requirements.

What background do I need for an ID photo?

Most ID photos require a plain white or off-white background. Take your photo against a white wall for best results before cropping.
