What matters
US Visa Photo dimensions at a glance
US visa photos share the 2×2 inch (600×600px) format with US passports. They're uploaded digitally during the DS-160 application with a 240KB file size limit.
The DS-160 system automatically checks photo compliance. Rejected photos prevent form submission and delay visa appointments.
The online system rejects non-compliant photos immediately. Even accepted photos can be flagged during the interview, requiring a new photo on the spot.
