How it works

  1. 1

    Take a clear photo

    Face the camera with a neutral expression and both eyes open. Take off your glasses: they aren’t allowed in US visa photos.

  2. 2

    Upload it here

    “US passport and visa, 2 × 2 in” and a white background are already selected. The AI cuts out the background and squares the crop.

  3. 3

    Download for the DS-160

    You get a 600 × 600 px JPG, the minimum size the online form accepts. Print it at 2 × 2 inches if you need paper copies.

Why US visa photos get rejected

The most common problems are shadows on the face or background, glasses, a head that is too small or too large in the frame, and photos older than six months.

Shoot in soft, even light facing a window, keep your head straight, and let the tool handle the white background and the square crop.

Questions

The US Department of State asks for a square color photo, 2 × 2 inches (51 × 51 mm), taken in the last 6 months, on a white or off-white background, with your head 1 to 1⅜ inches (25–35 mm) from chin to top of head. Glasses are not allowed.

Square, between 600 × 600 and 1200 × 1200 pixels, JPEG, and no larger than 240 KB. This tool produces 600 × 600 px; if a file is ever over 240 KB, run it through the image compressor.

Keep a neutral expression with both eyes open. A slight natural smile is usually fine, but a big smile is a common reason for rejection.

Yes, US passports use the same 2 × 2 inch format, so the same photo works for both.
