Guidelines for the DS-160 US Visa Photo
The US Department of State has extremely strict requirements for visa and DS-160 application photos. Photos must be square, between 600x600 pixels and 1200x1200 pixels, saved in JPEG format, and the file size must be under 240KB. Our optimizer reduces the file size to under 240KB while keeping the pixel dimensions intact.

Your personal face scans are highly private. CompressKaro runs all optimization routines on your device's memory, ensuring that your visa photo remains completely secure.
