What are the dimensions for a US Visa photo?

The official US Department of State specification for DS-160 online visa applications requires an exact 2x2 inch square photo measuring between 600x600 and 1200x1200 pixels, sized under 240 KB on a pure white background.

What is the difference between Schengen and UK visa photos?

Both use 35x45 mm dimensions, but Schengen mandates a light cream/grey background with 32 to 36 mm head height, whereas the UK passport office permits up to 10 MB digital uploads with neutral lighting.

Can I use these photos for embassy appointment prints?

Yes. The output files carry high-density 300 DPI metadata and can be printed at any local photo lab at exact 1:1 physical dimensions.

Are CAT and RBI Grade B presets verified from official notices?

Yes. CAT specifications (30-80 KB) and RBI Grade B dimensions (200x230 px, 20-50 KB) are taken directly from the official candidate information bulletins.
