US Visa (DS-160) Electronic Photo Requirements
The US Department of State requires:
- Square aspect ratio (minimum 600 x 600 pixels up to 1200 x 1200 pixels).
- File size must be between 240 KB and 2 MB (maximum 240 KB minimum requirement on some embassies).
- Color in sRGB color space.
Using SizeIncreaser, you can upscale your US visa photo to 300 KB or 500 KB to easily bypass minimum file size filters while preserving clarity.
