Why 5.08 and not 5

An inch is defined as exactly 2.54 cm, so 2 inches is 5.08 cm. Forms that work in centimetres write the US photo size this way. At 300 DPI it comes out at exactly 600 × 600 pixels.

Don't round to 5×5 cm. A 5×5 cm photo is 591 pixels square — slightly too small for a strict 2×2 inch check. Use 5.08 when the form says 5.08 or 2 inches.

Head size for US photos is 2.5–3.5 cm (1 to 1⅜ inches) from chin to the top of the hair. Drag the preview until the head fills about half to two thirds of the square.

Same size in inches: 2×2 inch. In millimetres: 51×51 mm.
