Plain white or off-white, in even light, facing the camera with a neutral expression and no glasses. It's easier if someone else takes it.

The card opens on the US passport size. Switch off Plain background so your real wall stays: replaced backgrounds aren't accepted.

Adjust the head size if needed, tap Save photo, and print it at 2 × 2 inches or use the digital copy for a visa form.
A US passport photo is 2 × 2 inches (51 × 51 mm). The head, from the bottom of the chin to the top of the head, must measure 1 to 1 3/8 inches (25 to 35 mm). The background must be plain white or off-white without shadows, the photo must be in colour and taken in the last six months, and glasses aren't allowed except with a signed medical statement.
The State Department says not to change your photo with software, filters or AI, and it offers its own tool for cropping. This card does the cropping part: it finds your face, sizes the head to the rule and centres it, and with Plain background switched off it keeps your background as it is. Whether to submit the photo is your decision; we can't promise any office will accept it.
For a visa, the DS-160 form takes a square digital photo of 600 × 600 to 1200 × 1200 pixels, up to 240 KB. The card saves 600 × 600 pixels and keeps the file under 240 KB, all in your browser. A Diversity Visa entry needs exactly 600 × 600 pixels, also up to 240 KB.
