- DS-160 applicants preparing a digital photo
- Worth noticing
- The page says face checks use Google's MediaPipe Face Landmarker locally; it also warns that digital alteration to change appearance can lead to rejection.
Field notes
The instructions distinguish digital-file requirements from the 2 × 2 inch print description and explain that the online form accepts a square JPEG from 600 to 1200 pixels. The page says phone photos are commonly 2–5 MB and describes compression to fit the file-size ceiling. It cautions that a correctly sized file addresses a technical rejection risk, not the embassy or consulate's final review.
