The US 2 × 2 inch format

US passport and visa photos are square, 2 × 2 inches. The head, from chin to the top of the hair, should be 1 to 1 3/8 inches tall, which is 50 to 69 percent of the image height. Digital photos for the online visa form must be square, between 600 × 600 and 1200 × 1200 pixels, and no larger than 240 KB.

This page saves exactly 600 × 600 pixels. If the JPG is above 240 KB, compress it with the next step button.

Taking a good photo

Use a plain white or off white background, even light without shadows, a neutral expression and both eyes open. Glasses are not allowed in US passport photos. Center the head in the frame when cropping.

Frequently asked questions

What pixel size do I need for the DS-160 visa form?

Square, from 600 × 600 to 1200 × 1200 pixels, JPEG, at most 240 KB. This page gives 600 × 600.

Can I print it?

Yes. At 300 DPI 600 pixels are exactly 2 inches.

Is my image uploaded?

No. Cropping happens in your browser. Your images are not sent to our servers.

Does cropping reduce quality?

No. The kept area is saved at its original resolution. Only when you choose a ready made size is the image scaled to that exact size.

Can I crop on my phone?

Does it work offline?
