PassSnap: Passport Photo

Most passport photo apps replace your background and smooth your face with AI. The US State Department says not to do that. Its own guidance tells applicants not to change passport photos "using computer software, phone apps or filters, or artificial intelligence".

PassSnap takes the opposite approach. It never edits your photo. It helps you take a correct one, then crops and resizes it — nothing else.

WHAT PASSSNAP IS NOT

PassSnap does not create, generate or produce documents of any kind. It has no templates, no text tools, no way to add or alter anything in an image, and no way to make an ID card, a passport, a certificate or any other official item. It is a camera. It measures the photograph you take of yourself and then crops and resizes it. What you get is a photograph, which you submit yourself to the office handling your application.

HOW IT WORKS

Stand in front of a plain wall and the camera talks you through it. Thirteen checks run live, and the app tells you the one thing to fix next:

• Head size and eye line, measured against the published requirements
• Distance and position, so the crop will actually fit
• Head straight, eyes open, mouth closed
• Focus — blurry photos are a common rejection
• Even lighting on your face, and no shadow on the wall behind you
• Plain background of the right brightness for your document
• Colour cast, because indoor bulbs turn a white wall orange
• Phone level, because a tilted phone distorts your face
• A reminder that glasses are not allowed

TIMER AND SPOKEN GUIDANCE

The rear camera takes a much better photo than the selfie camera. Prop your phone up, choose a timer, and PassSnap speaks the instructions out loud — "step back", "turn to face the light" — then counts you down. It waits until every check passes before it fires.

TAKE THREE, KEEP THE BEST

Nobody gets a portrait right first time. PassSnap keeps your last three attempts, scores them, and marks the strongest one. You choose.

WHAT YOU GET

• A digital photo sized for online renewal
• A 4x6 print sheet — six US photos or eight UK ones — that any drugstore kiosk prints for well under a dollar
• Saved straight to your Photos

PHOTO SIZES IT KNOWS

• US Passport — 2x2 in
• US Visa — 2x2 in
• UK Passport — 35x45 mm
• Schengen Visa — 35x45 mm
• Or enter your own size for a document we don't cover

PRIVACY

Your photo never leaves your phone. There is no account, no upload and no server. Everything — the face measurement, the background analysis, the cropping — happens on your device. We collect nothing.

PRICING

One payment. No subscription. One photo, or a family pack of four.

HONEST ABOUT WHAT WE CAN'T DO

We measure your photo against the published requirements and tell you what we find. We cannot promise a government will accept it — that decision is always theirs. What we can do is stop you submitting a photo that misses the measurements, and never hand you an edited file that breaks the rules.
