How US Visa Photo Checker works
Check a U.S. visa or DS-160 digital photo for JPEG format, square 600×600 to 1200×1200 pixel dimensions and a maximum 240KB file size. Technical checker only.
ImportantIndependent technical checker only. AG File Tools is not affiliated with the U.S. Department of State. Visa-photo acceptance remains at the discretion of the U.S. government.
- What you provide
- A JPG or JPEG digital photo intended for a U.S. visa upload such as DS-160.
- What AG File Tools returns
- A local report checking JPEG format, square dimensions from 600×600 through 1200×1200 pixels, and the 240KB maximum file size.
- Practical limit
- This checker cannot verify head position, facial expression, background, lighting, recent appearance or embassy acceptance. Those requirements still need a visual review against official guidance.
