US Visa Photo Requirements

- Head 25-35 mm — — from chin to the top of the head, roughly 50-69% of the frame height
- White or off-white background — — plain and free of shadows, objects and texture
- No glasses — — glasses are not accepted in US visa photos; take the photo without them
- Taken within the last 6 months — — and without a uniform, hat or headphones; headwear only for religious reasons
- Neutral expression, both eyes open — — facing the camera straight on, a natural smile is allowed but a neutral face is safer

What Gets a US Visa Photo Rejected
The DS-160 upload rejects photos automatically, and the two most common reasons are mechanical. The first is the frame: the US uses a square 2x2 inch photo, so a 35x45 mm European photo is refused before a person ever looks at it. The second is glasses — they have not been accepted in US visa photos since 2016, even without glare. After that come background problems: a wall that is not quite white, a visible shadow behind the shoulder, or a phone photo taken too close so the head fills too much of the frame. AI rebuilds the frame from your own photo — it cuts a true square, sizes the head into the 25-35 mm range, puts the eye line in the upper third and replaces the background with clean white.
US Visa Photo FAQ
What size is a US visa photo?
2x2 inches — 51x51 mm, square. The head measures 25-35 mm from chin to crown. For the DS-160 upload the digital file must be square and at least 600x600 pixels.
Can I wear glasses?
No. Glasses are not accepted in US visa photos. Take the photo without them — this is one of the most common reasons an upload is rejected.
Is a US visa photo the same as a US passport photo?
The format is the same — 2x2 inches with a white background. That means one photo works for both, as long as it is recent and meets the head size requirement.
Will the consulate accept this photo?
AI builds the photo to the standard US requirements — 2x2 inches, white background, correct head height, no glasses. Check the current guidance on the official visa site before you submit.
Is it free?
Yes. New users get starter energy points — no sign-up needed, and enough to make your first visa photo.
