US Visa Photo Cropping Tool and ID Photo Maker

Printed: 2 × 2 inches (51 × 51 mm), with the head 1 to 1⅜ inches (25–35 mm) from chin to top of the hair. Digital, for the DS-160: a square JPEG between 600 × 600 and 1200 × 1200 pixels, 240 KB or smaller. The US preset here makes a 600 × 600 file that stays under 240 KB.

Yes, the file meets the size and format rules of the DS-160 photo upload. The photo itself still has to follow the visa photo rules: taken in the last 6 months, a plain white or off-white background, a neutral expression with both eyes open, no glasses, and even lighting without shadows.

US visa and passport (2×2 in / 51×51 mm), 35×45 mm as used for Schengen visas, the UK and many other countries, 4×6 cm for ID cards and forms, and a 50×50 mm square for profile photos. Always check the size the office you apply to asks for.

Download the PDF sheet: it is A4, with every photo at its real size and thin cut lines. Print it at 100% ("Actual size", not "Fit to page") on photo paper, then cut along the lines.

Press "Make the background white". An AI model on your device separates you from the background and puts you on plain white. It downloads a 25 MB model the first time only. Check the hair edges in the preview before you download; a plain light wall still gives the best result.

Absher does not publish the pixel size or the file-size limit as text; the numbers appear on the photo upload screen itself. The commonly quoted values are 480 × 640 pixels, JPEG, under 1 MB, and they are the defaults here, but if your screen shows different numbers, edit the boxes and the file adjusts. The conditions Absher states: white background, men bare-headed, no sunglasses or filters, and a photo from the last 6 months.

No. The photo is cropped inside your browser and never sent to a server.
