We measure head size and eye height against the published rule — the part that actually gets photos rejected.
Your photo never leaves your browser
Resize Relay prepares your passport, visa, or ID photo entirely on your device. Nothing is uploaded, stored, or sent to a server — the resize runs in your browser and the file stays with you.
- No upload — runs on your device
- No server, no storage
- Your image never sent anywhere
We resize your photo. We never retouch it.
The U.S. Department of State does not accept a digitally altered photo — a rule in force since January 1, 2026. Photos altered with computer software, phone apps, filters or AI are not accepted — including background editing, skin smoothing and lighting adjustment. Automated checks flag altered photos before a reviewer sees the application.
Resize Relay measures your photo, crops it and resamples it to the required dimensions. It does not smooth skin, relight your face, replace your background or generate anything. That is why the result is still your photograph — and why this check tells you to retake a photo rather than quietly fixing one.
Rule read from the official requirements on September 19, 2026. Requirements change — check the official page before you submit. We measure your file against the published spec; we cannot guarantee acceptance.
