US visa (DS-160) photograph requirement
JPEG, square, 600 × 600 to 1200 × 1200 pixels, at most 240 KB, colour. This page opens with those values filled in, and you can change any of them.
This page opens at 600 × 600 pixels, the minimum, which keeps the file well under 240 KB. Crop so your head (chin to top of hair) fills a little over half the height of the square. FileFatafat does not check head size or remove backgrounds, so take the photo against a plain white wall.
Where these numbers come from
Source: the U.S. Department of State digital image requirements, checked 20 October 2026. The same page also asks for a white or off-white background, the head filling 50–69% of the image height, no glasses, and a photo taken within the last six months.
Other exams: photo and signature size chart.
FileFatafat is an independent tool. It is not run by, approved by or connected with US visa (DS-160) or any government body, and it cannot guarantee that a portal accepts a file.

Will my file be uploaded?
No. Processing happens in your browser, including PDF rendering, scanning and ZIP creation. Tool code is downloaded from this website; the documents you select are not sent back.
Can every file reach the requested size?
No. A size limit is a maximum, not an exact guarantee. Detailed or multi-page documents may need a larger limit to remain readable. One KB here is 1,000 bytes. Check clarity and any minimum file size before submission.
Is my photograph uploaded to FileFatafat?
No. The file is prepared in your browser and stays on your phone or computer. You upload it yourself on the official application form.
The official form still rejects my file. Why?
Check the file type (JPG, not PNG or HEIC), then compare the size and pixel dimensions shown next to the preview with the current notification. Requirements change between cycles.
