Millions of people enter the Diversity Visa lottery each autumn. Rejected photos waste an entire year. A private, on-device crop-and-compress step lets you iterate without uploading identity photos to random converters — then you still verify against the official Department of State rules before submitting.
The U.S. Diversity Visa lottery typically requires a square JPEG exactly 600×600 pixels, max 240 KB, with a white or off-white background and head height about 50–69% of the image. Confirm the current travel.state.gov guidance each season (entries usually open Oct–Nov).
Common rejects: not exactly 600×600, over 240 KB, dark/busy background, head too small or too large, glasses glare, shadows, or a photo older than six months. Use the unofficial prep checklist on this page, then compare with the official DOS composition tool before you submit.
