Is this photo compatible with the DS-160 form?

Yes! We generate a 600x600 pixel JPEG file that is specifically formatted for the DS-160 online upload tool (CEAC system). The file size is optimized to be under 240KB as required.

What if my photo is rejected by the US Embassy?

We have a 100% acceptance guarantee. If your photo is rejected by any US Embassy or Consulate for not meeting official requirements, we will provide a full refund immediately.

How is this different from a passport photo?

Visa and passport photos have the same requirements. You can use the same photo for both purposes. We provide both the digital file (for DS-160) and a printable 2x2 inch version.
