US Visa Photo: Size, Format and File Limit
The State Department publishes the technical limits for digital visa photos on its digital image requirements page. A phone photo fails most of them as it comes: it is usually several megabytes and not square.
Cropping is expected here. The Department offers its own photo tool to crop an image to a 600 × 600 square, and it says photos must not be digitally enhanced or altered to change your appearance. This tool only crops, scales and re-saves the JPEG. It does not retouch anything.
| Format file | JPEG |
|---|---|
| Pixel size | Square, from 600 × 600 to 1200 × 1200 |
| Ukuran file | 240 kB or less |
| Color | Color, 24 bits per pixel, sRGB |

Pemeriksaan ini hanya mencakup batas teknis file. Hasilnya tidak menjamin instansi akan menerima foto atau dokumen Anda.
What this tool cannot check
- Your appearance is unchanged: no filters, beauty modes or background edits.
- The photo itself meets the State Department's composition rules, which this tool cannot judge. Read them on the official page.
Passing these technical limits does not mean the application will be accepted. ToolkitHQ is not connected to any government.
