The same USCIS block also gives the physical specs: white to off-white background, thin glossy paper, unmounted and unretouched output, 2 x 2 inches, full-face frontal view, current head-and-eye framing ranges, and a light back-of-photo note with your name and A-Number, if any.
The current USCIS Form I-765 instructions say to submit two identical color passport-style photographs of yourself taken recently.

This page is narrower. It is for the current Form I-765 packet itself: the exact two-photo count, the current physical spec block, and the back-of-photo note.
If your question is about a green-card filing packet instead, the closer sibling page is green card photo requirements, which is centered on Form I-485 rather than Form I-765.
