What file does the DS-160 need?
A square JPEG, 600×600 to 1200×1200 pixels, 240 KB or less. We give you 600×600.
Can I smile?
Not for a visa photo. Keep a neutral face with both eyes open. Our check will catch a smile.
Is the check really free?
Yep. You see every rule checked and a preview of your photo before you pay a cent. You only pay to download.
What if my photo gets rejected?
We check it against the State Department's own rules, but they make the final call. If they reject a photo that passed our check, you get your money back.
Do you edit my photo?
Nope. We crop it to size, and that's it. Edited photos, including AI touch-ups and swapped backgrounds, get rejected.
Do you upload my photo?
No. The check runs right on your phone or computer. We never see your photo.
Ready when you are
It's free to try. You only pay when your photo passes.
