What size is a US passport photo?

US passport photos are 2×2 inches (51×51 mm) with your head height between 1 inch and 1⅜ inches from chin to top of head. Use the 2×2 inch preset, align eyes to the guide, and export on a plain white or off-white background. Always confirm current State Department rules before printing or submitting.
