Visa photos that survive scrutiny
when DS-160 rejects uploads for head-size drift
US visa applications reject photos for head-size drift, shadows on backgrounds, or low resolution. Passprint encodes repeatable sizing so your team doesn't re-shoot applicants before consular interviews. Passprint automates the entire workflow from upload to print-ready sheet in just a few clicks.

US visa photo FAQ
US visa photo requirements
US visa photos are 2×2 inches with a plain white or off-white background. The head must measure 1–1⅜ inches (25–35 mm) from chin to top of hair per Department of State visa guidance.
What size is a US visa photo?
US visa photos are 2×2 inches (51×51 mm) with the head occupying the prescribed portion of the frame. Passprint applies these dimensions automatically.
How is a US visa photo different from a US passport photo?
Both are 2×2 inches, but DS-160 imposes digital file-size and dimension checks for online upload. Visa applicants often need print copies for interviews — Passprint exports both formats from one workflow.
Can I use the same photo for DS-160 and printing?
Yes. Export a digital JPEG for online upload and a 300 DPI print layout for applicants who need physical copies at their interview.
What background colour is required for US visa photos?
A plain white or off-white background is standard per Department of State visa photograph requirements.
Is Passprint suitable for immigration agencies?
Yes. Agencies use Passprint to standardise visa photo output across staff, reduce rejections, and speed up client turnaround.
