Frequently asked questions
What size is a US visa photo?
Digital uploads need a square JPEG between 600x600 and 1200x1200 pixels, max 240 KB — the same file works for DS-160, DS-260 and passport renewals. This tool delivers a verified 600x600 file.
Is 600x600 the same as 2x2 inches?
600x600 pixels is the digital version of the 2x2 inch (51x51 mm) print standard at 300 DPI. If you need the compositional checks (head height, eye line, background), run the free passport validator first.
My photo is a PNG — does that matter?
Yes, the State Department system wants JPEG. The tool converts and re-verifies the converted file, so what you download is what the portal sees.
