How it works

  1. Step 01

    Upload a front-facing selfie

    Even light, full face visible, neutral expression. Avoid group shots and beauty filters.

  2. Step 02

    Preview the 2×2 frame

    We apply a US 2×2 template with a plain white background so you can check head size before unlock.

  3. Step 03

    Upload HD or print copies

    Use the JPEG in the online form. Print the 4×6 sheet if the packet still asks for physical photos.

What photo does USCIS / I-130 usually need?

Many USCIS online filings ask you to upload passport-style 2×2 inch photos—square, white background, recent, clear face. I-130 is a common example where people search how to upload 2×2 photos.

Requirements can differ by form and whether the filing is paper or online. Always read the instructions on your specific USCIS form before you submit.

Digital upload vs printed 2×2 copies

Online accounts often want a digital file. Paper packets may still ask for printed photos. Dual delivery covers both without a second drugstore trip.

If a pharmacy will not print DIY files, print at home at actual size or use a shop that accepts customer files.
