Many U.S. digital photo workflows use a square 600x600px upload format. A simple resize is not enough because the head height, eye position, background, and file size still need to fit the selected document profile.
- DS-160 and many U.S. visa uploads use square digital photos.
- DV Lottery and Green Card photos must be exactly 600x600px.
- The head must stay centered and scaled after the crop.
- Preview the corrected crop before unlocking the final JPG.
