Questions

Fair questions, straight answers.

Is this an official U.S. government photo check?

No. We're an independent service — not affiliated with the U.S. government or the State Department. Your photo is measured against the same published DS-160 spec the official source states; that source is linked at the bottom of this page.

Do you fix or alter my photo during the check?

No. The verdict is on the file exactly as you uploaded it — nothing is cropped, brightened, or replaced. If a failed check is something software can honestly fix, we offer that as a separate, optional step; the check itself changes nothing.

What happens to my photo after the check?

It's used only to run the checks and deleted automatically within a day. No account, no photo library, no reuse.

What does the check cost?

Nothing. The verdict, the full list of results, and the retake advice are free. You only pay if you choose to have a fixable photo fixed — and only after you see the fixed version pass.
