Auto-sized for USA Visa (DS-160)
A USA Visa (DS-160) photo must be 51×51mm (600×600 pixels at 300 DPI) with a white background. The file size should be under 240KB, saved as a JPEG. The face should occupy 50-69% of height of the frame. 2x2 inches for the DS-160 nonimmigrant visa application. This tool crops your photo to these exact dimensions and compresses it to the required file size automatically, entirely in your browser.
