Frequently Asked Questions

Why do DV Lottery photos get rejected?

The official DV validation tool rejects entries when the file size exceeds 240 KB, dimensions are not exactly square (minimum 600×600 px), or the file format is not JPEG. ImgMin ensures your file meets all three technical requirements.

Can I use an AI background generator for my DV Lottery photo?

No. The US State Department strictly disqualifies photos with digitally altered backgrounds or AI-smoothed facial features. Take your photo against a real white sheet or wall, then use ImgMin to resize and compress without altering facial pixels.

Are my identity photos uploaded to any server?

Never. ImgMin executes entirely inside your browser's local memory using the HTML5 Canvas API. Zero bytes of your biometric photo leave your computer or phone.
