US Visa photo
Upload a photo and crop it to the exact US Visa size (51 × 51 mm (2 × 2 in)). FileTinker outputs it at 600 × 600 px and a true 300 DPI on a plain background — white by default, or any colour you pick — ready to print or upload. Everything runs in your browser — nothing is uploaded.

How to make a US Visa photo
- Upload a clear, front-facing photo — or click Remove background in the tool and pick a plain backdrop colour.
- Drag the crop box so your head and shoulders fit inside the oval guide — it's locked to the US Visa aspect ratio.
- Click create and download your 51 × 51 mm (2 × 2 in) photo at 600 × 600 px, ready to print or upload.
About US Visa photos
A US Visa photo must be 51 × 51 mm (2 × 2 in) with your face centred, a neutral expression and a plain light background. FileTinker crops to that exact ratio and exports at 600 × 600 px and 300 DPI so it prints at the right physical size.
Everything runs in your browser, so your photo stays private. If your country isn't listed, the main passport-photo tool covers more sizes — and you can always crop here, then print several copies on one 6 × 4 in photo at home or at a kiosk.
US visa applications are digital-first: the DS-160 form takes a square photo between 600 × 600 and 1200 × 1200 pixels, and this page outputs exactly 600 × 600 px — the minimum accepted size. The same no-glasses rule as US passports applies, and the photo must be less than six months old.
Frequently asked questions
What size is a US Visa photo?
A US Visa photo is 51 × 51 mm (2 × 2 in). FileTinker outputs it at exactly 600 × 600 pixels at 300 DPI, which is the print resolution most authorities and photo labs expect.
What background colour will it have?
White by default — or pick off-white, light grey, light blue or a custom colour. Click Remove background in the tool first (the colour fills transparent areas); or take the photo against a plain light wall and keep your head and shoulders inside the oval guide.
Can I print it or upload it?
Yes. The 600 × 600 px, 300 DPI JPEG is sized for both — print it at 51 × 51 mm (2 × 2 in), or upload it wherever a digital US Visa photo is required.
Is my photo uploaded?
No. The photo is cropped and resized entirely in your browser; it never leaves your device.
What are the pixel requirements for a DS-160 visa photo?
A square colour JPEG between 600 × 600 and 1200 × 1200 pixels, under 240 KB for the online upload. This page's 600 × 600 px output matches the minimum exactly; if the file is too heavy, run it through the image compressor afterwards.
