How to put a photo on an online form

Options
Can anyone suggest an easy way for me to put a passport type of photo on an official form?


I have yet to take the photo and I can put photos on Facebook and Ebay. Is this similar? It is a Visa application.


Thanks

    Surely if it's an official form and requires you to include a photo it will tell you how to add it to the form? I don't think you would be able to add one if the form isn't designed to take it. Perhaps you could give us a link to the form so we can check it out.

    The form is DS 160 but you cannot link to it directly because you have to fill it in online and are not taken to the form unless you start the application.


    Well at least I cannot but one of you may be able to!


    There is a photo helper but you have to already have a suitable photo and I am starting from scratch. I suppose what I really want is a digital passport photo.

    It will be similar to those, probably more simplistic, you just need to make sure it meets the requirements in terms of being square, at least 600x600 pix and under 240kb in file size.

    Have you read the information on the London embassy website? In particular:

    If you experince (sic) issues with uploading a photograph, you may bring the photograph to the visa interview.
