Verified official information
US visas use a square 2 × 2 in photograph. Form DS-160 or DS-1648 requests a digital image; immigrant visas require two prints at interview and each consulate may additionally request a physical copy.
We correct the framing and prepare the white or off-white background while preserving your natural appearance.
The digital photo must be square JPEG. Diversity Visa requires exactly 600 × 600 px and no more than 240 KB; other categories follow the form and the instructions of the mission handling the application.
Take a recent photo against white or off-white, without glasses and with a neutral expression. Cropping and resizing are allowed, but appearance must not be digitally enhanced or altered.
You don't need to memorize measurements or biometric rules. Imagokit applies this document's official setup and checks the result before delivery.
Take the photo from at least 40 cm (16 in) away from your face. Ideally, have someone else take it for you.
Position your face in front of the lens and keep a neutral expression. Hold the camera at face level.
Face a light source, such as an open window. Don't worry about the background — we'll replace it.
Don't worry about the background or framing — our AI fixes that. Focus on this.
