Frequently Asked Questions

Find answers to the most common questions about official visa photo rules.

According to the US Department of State, compliant photo files must satisfy these technical parameters. If you already have a cropped image file and want to run a complete biometric scan, use our secure DV Lottery Photo Checker to verify it instantly:

  • Dimensions must be exactly 600 x 600 pixels (square ratio).
  • File format must be JPEG (.jpg or .jpeg).
  • Maximum allowable file size is 240 KB.
  • The compression ratio must be less than or equal to 20:1.
No, eyeglasses are strictly forbidden in visa and passport photos since November 2016. Wearing glasses in your submitted photo will cause your application to be automatically rejected by the consular system.
The photo must be taken in front of a plain white or light off-white background. The background should be uniform, free of shadows, wall texture, patterns, or household items. You can verify if your background matches this strict uniformity rule immediately using our free DV Lottery Photo Checker.
You must have a neutral facial expression with both eyes open, looking straight at the camera. A natural, unexaggerated smile is acceptable, but it is highly recommended to keep a completely neutral expression to prevent biometrics issues.
Yes. We respect your complete privacy. The main compliance checklist and image editor run entirely inside your browser using canvas APIs. Your photo is only processed on our servers if you click "Process & Download", and all files are permanently deleted from our server within 15 minutes of download.
