The US visa photo rules in numbers
The State Department visa photo page asks for a colour photo taken in the last 6 months, in front of a plain white or off-white background, with the head between 1 and 1⅜ in (22–35 mm), or 50% to 69% of the image height from chin to crown.
For the digital file: a square JPEG between 600 × 600 and 1200 × 1200 pixels, sRGB colour, 240 KB or less. This page saves the minimum, 600 × 600, which keeps the file small without strong compression.
