अमेरिकी वीज़ा फ़ोटो — 2×2 इंच और DS-160 वाली फ़ाइल
अमेरिकी वीज़ा फ़ोटो 2×2 इंच (51×51 मिमी) की होती है। DS-160 की डिजिटल फ़ाइल आमतौर पर 600×600 से 1200×1200 पिक्सेल का चौकोर JPEG होती है, अधिकतम 240 kB। यह टूल ब्राउज़र में क्रॉप करता है और दिखाता है कि सिर 50%–69% में है या नहीं, और 600×600 JPEG 240 kB से कम है या नहीं। नीचे की आवश्यकता तालिका आधिकारिक अंग्रेज़ी शब्दों में है।
- जाने से पहले फ़ाइल डाउनलोड करें — हम प्रति नहीं रखते।
- सिर्फ़ क्रॉप और आकार। पृष्ठभूमि नहीं बदलते और त्वचा नहीं संवारते — सफ़ेद दीवार के सामने फ़ोटो लें।
- फ़ोटो आपकी अभी की शक्ल दिखानी चाहिए; पुरानी या संवारी हुई फ़ोटो न भेजें।
इस ऑफ़र में दस्तावेज़ फ़ोटो मुफ़्त है। क्रेडिट खरीदने की ज़रूरत नहीं।
हेडशॉट वही चेहरा रखता है और फ़ोटो इमेज सेवा को जाती है। दस्तावेज़ फ़ोटो ब्राउज़र में क्रॉप होती है, मूल फ़ोटो अपलोड नहीं होती। नतीजा सेव नहीं होता — खुद डाउनलोड करें।

*The State Department’s own page also prints “22 mm” in brackets. 1 inch is 25.4 mm, so 25–35 mm is the correct conversion; the bracketed figure on their page is a rounding error. Rules as published by the U.S. Department of State — confirm on travel.state.gov before you submit.
डिजिटल फ़ाइल: 600×600 से 1200×1200 पिक्सेल, 240 kB, JPEG
When you fill in the DS-160 online form, you upload an image rather than post a print. The system checks it as you upload, and the three limits that catch people out are format, size and file weight:
- Format — the upload must be a JPEG. A PNG screenshot from your phone will be refused.
- Dimensions — square, at least 600×600 pixels and no more than 1200×1200. Smaller than 600 gets rejected; larger than 1200 gets rejected too.
- File weight — 240 kB or less. A high-resolution phone photo is usually several megabytes, so it has to be compressed, not just cropped.
अमेरिकी वीज़ा फ़ोटो क्यों अस्वीकार होती हैं
- The image isn’t square, or is smaller than 600×600 pixels.
- The file is a PNG, or a JPEG over 240 kB.
- The head is too small or too large in the frame.
- The background is grey, patterned or uneven, or there’s a shadow behind you.
- The photo is older than six months, or doesn’t match how you look now.
- You’re wearing glasses, a hat or headphones.
- The photo has been retouched, filtered or upscaled — consular officers compare the photo against you in person, and a photo that doesn’t look like you causes delays.
ऐसी फ़ोटो कैसे लें जो अपलोड जाँच पास कर ले
- Stand about an arm’s length in front of a plain white or cream wall, facing a window. No flash — flash puts a shadow on the wall.
- Ask someone to shoot from eye level, framing from mid-chest up. Leave room at the top; we’ll crop to 2×2.
- Turn off portrait mode, beauty mode and HDR. Shoot plain, then crop.
- Check you’re not wearing glasses, and that your whole head and both ears are visible.
प्रिंटेड फ़ोटो या डिजिटल अपलोड — आपको क्या चाहिए?
If you’re applying by filling in the DS-160 online, the photo you upload is the one that matters, and you may also be asked to bring a print to your interview. If you’re applying with a paper form, you need a printed 2×2 inch photo. Print requirements — matte or glossy paper, how many copies — are set by the office handling your case, so check the page for the consulate or embassy you’re applying through rather than relying on a general guide.
सवाल
- Is a US visa photo the same size as a US passport photo?
- Yes — both are 2×2 inches (51×51 mm). The digital limits differ only because an online form needs a file.
- What size should the digital image be?
- A square JPEG between 600×600 and 1200×1200 pixels, 240 kB or less. We export 600×600 by default.
- Can I use my phone photo?
- Yes, if it’s a straight photo with no filter, taken against a plain white wall within the last six months.
- Why was my photo rejected at upload?
- Usually a non-JPEG file, dimensions outside 600–1200 px, or a file over 240 kB.
- Can I submit a photo where the background was replaced or the skin retouched?
- We don’t do either. A photo that doesn’t look like you in person can cause delays at your interview; take the photo against a white wall instead.
क्रॉप और आकार बदलना ब्राउज़र में होता है, और मूल फ़ोटो अपलोड नहीं होती।
