Is the Green Card photo the same size as the DV Lottery entry photo?

No. The DV Lottery online entry needs a digital photo (600x600 to 1200x1200 px, under 240KB) with no print size requirement. The in-person interview needs printed 2 x 2 inch photos, which is what this tool creates.

Green Card / DV Lottery Photo (2 x 2 inch)

For the DV Lottery interview and most USCIS Green Card photo requirements, applicants need two identical 2 x 2 inch (51 x 51mm) photos. Note this is different from the initial DV Lottery online entry, which instead asks for a digital JPEG between 600x600 and 1200x1200 pixels, under 240KB, with no printed size — use our Image Resizer and Image Compressor tools for that digital file, and this tool for the printed interview photos.
