Is a visa photo the same as a passport photo?
Usually, but not always. Most visa applications reuse the destination country's passport photo spec, but a few use a genuinely different size or digital upload rule — always check your specific visa form.
Which countries currently show a different visa spec on this site?
Canada (visa photos are 35×45mm vs. the 50×70mm passport print size) and Indonesia (the e-Visa portal has its own 200KB upload cap) are flagged so far — check the relevant country page for details.
Can I use this for a US visa (DS-160)?
Yes — the US entry already matches the DS-160 photo spec: 2×2in, white background, JPEG, under 240KB.
What if my visa category has different requirements than shown?
That happens — some visa categories (work, student, diplomatic) occasionally use different specs than the general tourist/passport standard. This tool is a starting point; always confirm against your specific visa form or embassy instructions.
