Walmart Passport Photos: Price & Digital Copy (2026)
Walmart Photo often prints **2×2** cheaper than CVS/Walgreens. Do you get a digital file, and when is a home selfie + online maker smarter?
What Walmart usually charges
Walmart Photo / Vision Center prints US passport / visa photos at 2×2 inches (51×51 mm) in many states. Price varies by location and promo — often below a CVS or Walgreens set (roughly single-digit to low double-digit dollars).
Use our AI-powered United States Passport Photo Tool to auto-crop your image in 3 seconds.
Ask at the counter for a “digital copy” / email JPEG; online renewal and DS-160 usually need a file separate from the print set.

Walmart vs CVS / Walgreens / USPS
Rules are the same: white / light background, neutral expression, no glasses. Differences are usually price, wait time and how the digital file is delivered. USPS is still ~$15 and often by appointment; Costco no longer shoots in-store.
“Near me” gets you to the closest kiosk — still know State Department 2×2 and head-height rules; auto-crop can cut the chin.

When an online maker wins
If you only need a digital upload (online passport renewal, DS-160, USCIS), a full retail print set can be waste. A sharp home selfie + correct 2×2 crop is usually cheaper and takes minutes.
Want prints? Upload a FotoPass 4×6 sheet to a Walmart self-serve printer — keep “fit to page” off.
