Square photos for applications
A square 2 by 2 inch photo is commonly used for passport and visa photos in some countries. Always read the current official instructions before you submit, because the background, head size and file rules can differ.
This tool only resizes your picture. For a square result with the face centred, start with a photo where the head is in the middle and Fill the frame will trim the sides.
