Error #3
Why It Failed:

Used this for my DS-160 application. Photo was accepted first try! Much cheaper than going to Walgreens.

Frequently Asked Questions

What should I do if my passport photo was rejected by the passport agency?
Do not panic. You will receive an official letter (such as Form DS-3050 in the US). Use PhotoResizer.us to create a certified compliant replacement photo, print it on 4x6" photo paper, and mail it back within the specified timeframe with your rejection letter.
Why was my DS-160 visa photo rejected online?
The CEAC portal uses automated image scanners that reject photos due to lighting imbalances, shadows, incorrect 1:1 aspect ratio, or Display P3 color encoding. Our VisaCompliance Studio fixes all these issues automatically.
