Help & FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions About Visa Photos

Why was my DS-160 photo rejected on the CEAC website? ▼

The CEAC website automatically tests images against strict mathematical checks. Common rejection reasons include: file size exceeding 240 KB, non-square dimensions (must be 600x600 px to 1200x1200 px), head height less than 50% or greater than 69%, wearing eyeglasses, or non-white background shadows. EasyPassPhoto guarantees full compliance with these exact parameters.

Can I bring physical prints to my visa interview? ▼

Yes! Most US embassies and consulates request that you bring one or two physical 2×2 inch photo prints to your consular interview as a backup, even if your digital photo passed the online upload. You can print our 4×6 print sheet at any pharmacy for ~35 cents.

What should I wear for my visa photo? ▼

Wear normal dark or colored clothing (such as a polo, collared shirt, or blazer). Avoid white tops because they blend into the white background. Do NOT wear uniforms, military-style apparel, or camouflage.
