Compliant visa photos for any country — in 2 minutes

Why Visa Photos Are Harder Than Passport Photos

Visa photos have stricter and more varied rules than passport photos. Different embassies require different pixel dimensions, file size limits, background colors, and even different head-to-frame ratios. A photo that's perfect for a US passport may be rejected by the Indian eVisa portal or the Chinese COVA system.

Common Visa Photo Mistakes That Cause Rejection

• File too large — DS-160 rejects files over 240KB. K-ETA rejects over 100KB. Russia limits to 20-30KB.
• Wrong dimensions — US needs 600×600px, Schengen needs 35×45mm, China needs 33×48mm.
• Background color — Most want white, but UK prefers grey and Philippines requires blue.
• Head too small — Most embassies want 50-80% head coverage. Too much body showing = rejection.
• Compression artifacts — Over-compressed JPEGs with visible pixelation fail quality checks.
