How to Print US Passport Photos for $0.39 at CVS, Walgreens, or Walmart
- Stand 3 feet in front of a plain light-colored indoor wall facing natural window light so both sides of your face are evenly lit without harsh shadows.
- Click 'Open US 2×2" Passport Photo Studio' above — your photo stays 100% inside local HTML5 Canvas memory and is never uploaded.
- Drag and zoom until the top of your hair rests inside the green CROWN band, eyes align with the EYE LINE, and chin touches the CHIN band.
- Slide White-Background Boost (40–65%) to lift off-white drywall shadows into crisp compliant studio white while keeping natural hair edges.
- Download the single 600×600 px PNG for DS-160 / online passport renewal for free, or export the 1800×1200 px 4×6" sheet and order a standard glossy 4×6 print (NOT 'Passport Photo Service') at CVS/Walgreens for ~$0.39.
Top 4 US Passport Photo Rejection Reasons We Help You Avoid
- Eyeglasses left on: Since 2016, the US State Department rejects all photos with glasses (even clear prescription frames without glare).
- Head cropped too large (> 1.375 in): Selfies taken too close distort nasal proportions and violate the 69% max head-height ceiling — step back 4–5 feet and zoom slightly.
- Gray or yellowish bedroom walls: Uncorrected indoor Tungsten lighting fails automated DS-160 background checks; use our White-Background Boost slider.
- Kiosk 'Fit-to-Page' scaling: When printing at home, always select 'Actual Size / 100%' and verify our 1.00-inch scale bar with a ruler.
Frequently Asked Questions
How many 2x2 inch US passport photos fit on a 4x6 print?
Exactly six 2x2 inch (600x600 px at 300 DPI) photos fit in a 3x2 grid on a standard 6x4 inch (1800x1200 px) photo sheet with zero scaling distortion.
Can I use the free single PNG for online US Passport Renewal and DS-160?
Yes. The free single photo export outputs a crisp 600x600 pixel sRGB image matching the exact 2x2 aspect ratio and head-height zones required by travel.state.gov and CEAC DS-160.
Are my passport photos uploaded to any cloud server or AI API?
Never. CraftLeaf ID Photo Studio runs 100% locally in your browser using HTML5 Canvas. You can even disconnect Wi-Fi before loading your portrait.
