A passport photo from your phone, checked and cropped to size.

No. You can check a photo, read the whole report, pay and download your files without creating one.

No. The issuing authority decides after you apply. The report shows which published rules your photo meets, which it misses and which could not be checked.

That rule has no result, and the report says why. Usually a measurement or the image model could not give an answer for this photo. Look at that point yourself before you pay. For a head covering, clothing or the age of the photo we ask you to confirm it, and payment waits for that confirmation.

Where the authority crops the photo in its own tool, as for UK digital applications and US online renewal, you get your original file unchanged. For every other document we frame and resize it to the size your document requires, using only its own pixels. For Polish, Spanish, French and Argentine documents we may also replace the background with a plain colour and level a head tilted by 5 to 15 degrees. For Mexican passports and the Colombian online passport we may replace the background with white. For all of these we may change the overall brightness once when the lighting fails the check. When it passes, we may instead raise the contrast once if, in the area from your hairline to your chin and from ear to ear, the range from dark to light is below the 50% that the ICAO portrait standard recommends. We may also reduce a colour cast from the light once when the wall behind you and the nearly white parts below your chin, such as a collar, show the same cast. Each happens only when the photo allows it, and the report says what we did. Where the authority bans edited photos, we replace the background or correct the brightness or contrast only if you ask for it. For a paper UK passport application we may correct the brightness or the contrast once without asking, because HM Passport Office tells its examiners to accept that change. We soften shine on the skin only if you ask for it. We never change your features or the shape of your face, add generated content or enlarge a photo that is too small.

Only on the free preview. The files you pay for have no watermark.

In many countries, yes. Our price is set in US dollars. Dodo Payments, which runs the checkout, picks the currency from your billing address: where it supports the currency of your country, you see and pay the amount in that currency, converted at the Dodo exchange rate. Otherwise you pay in US dollars. Tax is added where your country charges it, and the conversion can include a Dodo fee of up to 4%, which is not refunded. The checkout page shows the full amount before you confirm.
