Use the follow calculation:

Here I use 300dpi as example.

Step 1: Calculate the height and width in pixels.

US passport photo for which the size is 2"x2", the size in pixels is 600x600 pixels. Just use 300 x length in inch.

Step 2: Calculate the photo paper size in pixels.

For 4"x6" paper, the size in pixels is 1200x1800 pixels

Step 3: Create a new image of size 1200x1800 pixels

Step 4: Crop a photo and resize it to 600x600 pixels

Copy and paste the photo to the image created in step 3.

Use the technique here to take passport photo with good lighting: http://strobist.blogspot.jp/2013/03/the-simple-light-how-to-take-great.html

The photo taken may be of gray background even when you take photo against white wall, you can use http://www.123passportphoto.com to generate white background photo.

Step 5: Save the photo and print it to 4"x6" photo paper

For US passport photos, you can either use matte or glossy photo paper. Other countries may require matte, semi-matte or glossy paper. You need to check the passport photo specification.

You should have 6 passport photo of the correct size for US passport photo.

Hope this will help.
