US Baby Passport Photo
Baby passport photos in the US follow the adult rule: 2 x 2 inches (51 x 51 mm) on white, head 25-35 mm, taken in the last 6 months. A baby's eyes do not need to be fully open. Shoot at home and let AI handle the size.

One upload, two deliveries: the pixel-exact digital file and a 300 dpi print-ready sheet.
What each line means
Printed size — print at exactly 51 × 51 mm. A few millimetres off and most offices hand the form back before anything else is checked.
Digital size — the digital file must measure 602 × 602 px. Anything smaller gets refused by many online systems before a person sees it.
Background — a plain White background, with no shadows or gradients. A wall lit unevenly is the fastest route to a refusal.
Resolution — 300 dpi keeps a face sharp in print. Below that, features soften and agencies ask for a retake.
Recency — 6 months. Hair, glasses and weight change faster than people assume, and the officer compares the photo with you at the counter.
Digital format — some portals accept a single file type and quietly refuse everything else. Check what you are handing over before you upload.
