Questions, answered
What size photo does a US visa need?
2 × 2 inches, square. Digitally that's 600 × 600 pixels minimum (up to 1200 × 1200), in colour, taken in the last six months. The Diversity Visa lottery uses the same size.
There's a 240 KB limit on the upload — how do I meet it?
Resize to 600 × 600 here, then use the compressor set to 200 KB. That lands comfortably under the limit while keeping the photo sharp at this small size.
Can I use a phone photo?
Yes, if it's well lit, front-facing, in front of a plain background, with no glasses or head covering. Crop tight enough that your head fills most of the frame.
Are my photos uploaded?
No. Resizing happens in your browser, so ID photos and documents never leave your device.
