US visa photo: DS-160 has a tighter file size than a passport

DS-160 (Online Nonimmigrant Visa Application) is stricter than online passport renewal on file size — and the portal won't tell you what failed:

DS-160 uploadOnline passport renewal
FormatJPEG onlyJPEG or HEIF
Pixels600 x 600 to 1200 x 1200600 x 600 to 1200 x 1200
File sizeUnder 240 KB54 KB to 10 MB
RecencyWithin 6 monthsWithin 6 months

Modern phone photos are 3–8 MB — they pass passport renewal upload but fail DS-160 without proper JPEG compression.

The interview also needs printed copies

Two 2 x 2 inch glossy prints for the embassy interview, identical to the DS-160 photo. Most applicants only realize this the day before. Generate both formats from the same source photo so the prints match what was uploaded.

No glasses since November 2016 — no exceptions without a signed medical statement.
