Crop a square US visa photo for DS-160, Green Card, or DV Lottery uploads.
Direct answer: US visa and DS-160 digital photos should be square, with minimum acceptable dimensions of 600x600 pixels. This tool opens on the US visa preset, creates a square photo, and keeps the image on your device.
Take a forward-facing photo against a plain white/light background. 100% private — processed locally on your device.
The built-in preset exports square JPEG output.
Use higher-resolution export when the portal allows it.
Different application flows may enforce their own upload limits.
Quality check: Use a recent, sharp, front-facing photo with even lighting, eyes open, neutral expression, and no harsh shadows.
Background check: Use the background color listed by the destination agency. White or off-white is common, but not universal.
Acceptance limit: This tool crops, resizes, and exports images. It cannot guarantee government or portal acceptance, and it cannot verify identity, biometric acceptability, image recency, photographer-stamp rules, or final portal acceptance.
Printing: Print 4x6 sheets at 100% actual size with no border and no fit-to-page scaling, then measure the final photo before cutting.
