Frequently Asked Questions
How many pixels is a 2×2 inch photo?
600×600 pixels at 300 DPI. The US Department of State's online photo tool accepts square JPEGs from 600×600 up to 1200×1200 pixels.
What file size does a US visa (DS-160) photo need?
A JPEG no larger than 240KB. This resizer re-encodes the photo automatically so it lands under 240KB at the best quality that fits.
How should the head be framed in a 2×2 photo?
The head should measure 1 to 1⅜ inches (25–35 mm) from chin to top of the head, facing the camera, against a plain white or off-white background. Use the Passport Photo Maker to frame the head at the right height and swap in a white background automatically.
Will this guarantee my photo is accepted?
It guarantees the size and file-size requirements. Lighting, expression, glasses and background are also checked, so always review the official requirements before submitting.
