What are US visa photo requirements?

US visa photos must be 2×2 inches (51×51mm), taken within the last 6 months, with a white background. Your head must be between 1-1 3/8 inches (25-35mm) from chin to crown, eyes positioned 1 1/8 to 1 3/8 inches from the bottom. Photos must show a neutral expression, no glasses, and proper lighting with no shadows.

How does the AI photo booth work?

Upload or capture your photo, and our AI automatically removes the background, checks facial positioning, verifies compliance with government standards, and adjusts sizing to exact 2×2 inch specifications at 300 DPI. The system detects face symmetry, head positioning, and ensures all requirements are met before allowing download.

What photo formats are accepted?

We accept all common photo formats including JPG, JPEG, PNG, and HEIC. You can upload existing photos from your device, take a new photo using your camera, or scan a QR code to capture photos from your mobile device.

Do I need to pay upfront?

No upfront payment required. You only pay after reviewing your compliant photo and confirming you're satisfied with the result. This ensures you get exactly what you need before any charges are made.

Can I retake my photo if it doesn't meet requirements?

Yes, our AI provides specific feedback on what needs adjustment. You can retake photos as needed until they meet all US visa requirements. The system guides you through corrections for positioning, lighting, expression, or any other compliance issues.
