Häufig gestellte Fragen (FAQ)
Alles Wichtige über das Erstellen, Zuschneiden und Drucken offizieller Passfotos.
General & Pricing
Yes! The basic photo creation tool, automatic face detection, biometric standard cropping, and 4x6" printable sheet generation are 100% free. No account or credit card required.
Retail stores charge high service and labor fees. By taking the picture on your smartphone and formatting it here, you only pay $0.25 to $0.40 for standard 4x6" photo printing.
If your original photo has irregular shadows, texture, or a non-white wall, our optional $1.99 AI tool cleanly replaces the background with pure government-compliant white.
Taking Your Photo
Absolutely! Modern smartphones exceed official passport photo resolution requirements. Have someone take the photo from 5–7 feet away at eye level.

Makeup: Light, everyday makeup is fine, but avoid glitter or contouring that alters facial structure.
Most passport agencies require a neutral expression with both eyes open and mouth closed. A subtle, natural mouth shape without showing teeth is allowed in some countries.
Printing & Compliance

Yes, as long as you adhere to lighting, background, and head size rules. Thousands of users successfully submit photos made with IDPhoto4Me every month.
Privacy & Security
