Frequently asked questions
How does it work?
Upload a photo from your phone or computer. We find your face, remove the background, crop and resize the photo to the official size, and check it against the most common rejection reasons. You see a preview before you pay.
What do I get?
A digital file in the exact size required for online applications, and a 4×6 in (10×15 cm) print sheet you can print at any pharmacy, photo kiosk or at home.
Is my photo guaranteed to be accepted?
Our automated checks catch the most common problems, such as wrong size, background, head position and closed eyes. The final decision is always made by the issuing agency.
What happens to my photo?
Photos are processed on our servers, with background removal by our provider Photoroom, and deleted automatically: unpaid photos within 24 hours, purchased photos 7 days after purchase. We never use them for anything else.
Which file types can I upload?
JPEG, PNG, WebP and HEIC/HEIF (the default iPhone format), up to 20 MB.
