2×2 passport photo
A U.S. passport photo is 2×2 inches (51×51 mm), with the head 1 to 1⅜ inches tall. PassportPhotoFlow crops and sizes your photo to that frame.
With the complete option you also get a 4×6 print sheet with two 2×2 photos and cut guides, ready for a home printer or a photo kiosk.

Questions
What is 2×2 inches in millimeters?
51×51 mm.
Can I print a 2×2 photo at home?
Yes. Print the 4×6 sheet at 100% / actual size on photo paper, then cut along the guides. Any photo kiosk that prints 4×6 photos can print it too.
Why not just resize any photo to 2×2?
The head size and eye height must fall inside set ranges, the background must be plain white or off-white, and there are rules for glasses, expression and lighting. The check measures each one.
