Every October, millions of DV entries are rejected over photo technicalities. The digital requirements are strict but simple: exactly square, 600×600 pixels minimum, JPEG, and no more than 240 KB. ExactKB produces exactly that from any phone photo.
Content rules (recent photo, neutral expression, plain background, no glasses) are checked by humans later — get those right too. Verify at dvprogram.state.gov.
How it works
- Check the target. This page is preset for the spec above — adjust any number to match your exact form.
- Drop your photo. ExactKB finds the best quality and dimensions that land inside the size window — including padding files up when a form has a minimum size.
- Download. The file fits the requirement on the first try.
FAQ
Can a rejected photo cost me the lottery?
Yes — entries with non-compliant photos are disqualified, and you only get one entry per year. It's worth getting the file exactly to spec.
Is my photo uploaded to a server?
No. ExactKB runs entirely in your browser. Your file never leaves your device — this page even works offline.
