FAQ
What photo size is required for a US Green Card (I-485)?
USCIS requires a 2 × 2 inch (51 × 51 mm) photo printed at 300 DPI on high-quality matte or glossy photo paper. The face must occupy 50–69% of the total image height measured from chin to crown.
Is the Green Card photo the same size as a passport photo?
Yes. Both require a 2 × 2 inch (51 × 51 mm) white-background photo taken within the last 6 months. You can use the same tool and print for both applications.
Can I use the same photo for I-485 and I-131?
Generally yes — USCIS uses the same photo specification (2×2 inch, white background) for most immigration forms including I-485, I-131, I-90, and N-400. Always check the specific form instructions for confirmation.
Does my photo get uploaded to your servers?
No. Everything — cropping, background removal, adjustment, and export — runs locally in your browser. Your photo never leaves your device. We do not store, transmit, or process your images on any server.
Is this tool free to use?
Yes, 100% free. No account, no subscription, no watermark. Download as many photos as you need at no cost.
Can I submit a digital copy of this photo with my application?
USCIS accepts digital photos for some online submissions. The exported PNG file meets the USCIS digital photo standards (minimum 600×600 px, correct proportions, white background). For paper applications, print the file at a photo center.
Where can I print Green Card photos?
Download the print sheet and take it to any pharmacy or photo center — CVS, Walgreens, Walmart Photo, FedEx Office, or Costco Photo. Ask for a standard 4×6-inch print. The sheet is pre-formatted so the photos come out at the exact required size.
What happens if my Green Card photo is rejected?
Common rejection reasons include wrong dimensions, colored or patterned background, glasses, or a photo taken more than 6 months ago. Correct the issue, retake or re-edit the photo using this tool, and resubmit. The tool is free, so you can create as many versions as needed.
