Passport photos
that actually pass.
Take a phone photo. Our AI crops it to spec, sets a studio-white background and runs the same 10 checks an agent would — in 60 seconds.
How does PhotoPass work?
No account, no app download, no appointment. Just upload and go.
Pick your document
Passport, visa, or OCI — we load the exact government spec.
Take or upload a photo
Any clear photo from your phone. We'll fix the rest.
AI handles everything
Auto-crop, background removal, 10-point compliance scan.
Download & print
300 DPI print sheet. CVS, Walgreens, or home printer.
What does paid preparation check?
These automated signals support eligible document-preparation routes. They do not reproduce a government review or decide acceptance.
PhotoPass shows the preparation and automated checks available for your selected document before you pay.
The right feature for each route
Preparation and validation tailored to the document you select.
Document-Aware Checks
Each supported route uses checks tailored to its required dimensions, resolution, and editing rules.
Smart Auto-Crop
Available only on supported paid document routes where image preparation is appropriate.
Print-Ready 300 DPI
Eligible paid documents include a standalone file and a ready-to-print 4×6″ sheet.
Privacy-First
Encrypted in transit, processed on AWS, deleted within 24 hours. Never shared or used for training.
Route-aware preparation
Background preparation applies only where supported. U.S. paper-photo preparation preserves the captured background.
What happens if my photo is rejected?
Eligible paid outputs include a refund guarantee. The guarantee does not turn an automated preview into government approval; only the issuing authority decides acceptance.
Built by an engineer, not a photo studio
“I built PhotoPass after spending $34 on two rounds of CVS passport photos — the first got rejected, and I had to pay again for the retake. There had to be a better way. So I built one.”
— Founder, PhotoPass
