What are the US visa (DS-160) photo requirements?
The U.S. Department of State requires a 2×2 inch (51×51 mm) colour photo, which is 600×600 px at 300 dpi. The file must be under 240 KB in JPEG format, with a plain white or off-white background and the face centred and covering 50–69% of the frame.
How does this compressor produce a DS-160 compliant photo?
This tool centre-crops your photo to 600×600 px and compresses it to under 240 KB — the two digital requirements for DS-160. Background colour and face proportion must be correct in your source photo; the tool does not add or remove backgrounds.
Does the output meet the DS-160 upload requirements?
The tool produces a 600×600 px JPEG under 240 KB, which satisfies the DS-160 file size and dimension requirements. Always verify your photo meets all CEAC guidelines before submitting.
Is my photo stored anywhere?
No. Compression runs entirely in your browser via the HTML5 Canvas API. Your image is never uploaded to any server, never stored, and never transmitted anywhere. Once you close the tab it is gone.
