How it works
- Tap the button — the tool opens with the 600 × 600 US visa format pre-selected.
- Upload a photo you took against a plain wall (see our home photo guide).
- The face is detected and framed automatically; adjust if needed and download a 300 DPI JPEG.
Everything runs locally in your browser — the photo is never sent to any server. Full requirement details are in our US visa photo requirements guide.
