We check your photo against the published US visa digital image rules and frame it on your face as a square JPEG within the published size and file limits, ready to upload. We replace the background, correct the brightness or contrast, or soften shine on the skin only if you ask for it and confirm that such a photo may be rejected, and we never change your features or the shape of your face. We do not submit anything for you, and the Department of State decides whether to accept the photo.
Ce que l’administration ne publie pas
- None of the three visa photo pages shows a last-updated date.
- The pages do not say whether 240 kB means 240,000 or 245,760 bytes. We use 240,000.
- The Department of State publishes no tolerance on the square aspect ratio.
- The alteration ban does not define whether editing the background changes "your appearance", so we replace the background only if you ask for it.
Ce que vous recevez
- Your original photo. The file you uploaded, unchanged.
- Photo file for the online application. Your photo framed on your face and saved as a JPEG within the size and file limits this application publishes, ready to upload.
- Your checked report. Every rule we measured, what we found and which rules were not checked, with the Department of State’s wording next to each one.

Ce que nous ne promettons pas
Nous ne pouvons pas promettre qu’une administration acceptera une photo, et nous ne déposons aucune demande à votre place. C’est toujours l’administration qui décide.
