What the measurements mean

Size is the printed photo’s width × height. Head is measured from the bottom of the chin to the top of the head, including hair. Digital is the pixel size for online forms, where one is set.

The two most common sizes

The 2x2 inch square (51 × 51 mm) is used for US documents and some others. The 35x45 mm biometric photo is the ICAO standard used by the UK, the Schengen area, Australia, India and most other countries.
