Frequently Asked Questions
Why do US Visa (DS-160) portals frequently reject photos?
The US Department of State CEAC automated validation portal rejects photos for three main reasons: (1) wrong pixel aspect ratio (must be exactly square 1:1, 600×600 px to 1200×1200 px), (2) file size exceeding 240 KB, and (3) improper head proportions (the head must occupy between 50% and 69% of the total image height). AG World Tools automatically enforces the 600×600 px square crop and compresses output to strictly below 240 KB.
How does the 4×6" printable studio sheet work?
When you select the 4×6" studio sheet download, AG World Tools tiles 6 or 8 copies of your photo onto a standard 1200×1800 px photographic canvas at 300 DPI. You can send this file to any local pharmacy or photo studio (e.g. Kodak Express, Walgreens, local print shop) to print on standard glossy 4×6 inch paper for ₹5–₹10, saving up to 90% compared to dedicated passport studio rates.
Are my personal portrait photos uploaded to any server?
Never. AG World Tools operates 100% in-browser using HTML5 Canvas bilinear interpolation. Your biometric portrait images are processed inside your computer or phone RAM and never transmitted across the network.
