How US Visa Photo Checker works
Check JPEG format, square dimensions and file size for a U.S. visa digital photo. The workflow below reflects the actual inputs, outputs and limits of this specific tool.
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.
