Why U.S. passport photos need a square workflow
U.S. passport photos use a square format that behaves differently from the more common 35 × 45 mm document portrait. The head size still matters, but the crop area and visual balance feel different right away.
A dedicated square preset is useful because it lets people adjust the portrait inside the final frame instead of trying to mentally translate a generic editor into a passport crop.
