Comparison of FREE Passport Photos
Websites
There are some free websites which revolutionized the printing of passport
photos. ePassportphoto.com
comes on the top followed by www.potraitbooth.com.
What is good about these free websites?
- The biggest benefit is that ePassportphoto.com
and www.potraitbooth.com help
you convert your digital photos in to passport photos for free. You
upload your digital photos and they give you back a 4x6 print format
with multiple photos on it.
- This is a very quick process. Probably 3 clicks and you are done.
Here are some problems with using FREE Passport Photo services:
- No offense, but being in the passport photo business and having seen
portrait photos taken by thousands of people, we estimate that barely
10% to 20% of the photos taken by users with their digital camera have
the exposure, background, contrast needed to make valid and nice passport
photos. There is no statistics available but there must be a significant
rate of rejection for photos created with help from such free websites.
- Shadows by flash. Most cameras fire flash when you take photos
in house and that in 95% of the situations creates undesired shadows
of the head on the background. Most passport photo requirements specifically
ask you to submit photos without shadows. (Our tip: It is always recommended
to use full service online passport photo services like http://www.onlinepassportphotos.com
who digitally remove the shadows from the photos or will advise you
how to avoid shadows while taking photos. This will almost eliminate
any chances of rejections for your passport or visa application.)
- Foreign passport/visa photos: Most countries have their own passport/visa
photo requirements. If that is not enough, different consulates of the
same country have sometimes very different requirements for passport
photos. As an example, the OCI (Overseas Citizenship of India) application
if submitted at San Francisco Consulate of India or New York Consulate
of India will ask you to submit 2x2 inch photos but if you are submitting
your application to Houston Consulate of India or Chicago Consulate
of India, you will be asked to submit 35mm x35mm photos (which is like
1.3x 1.3 inch)! If the size issue wasn't enough, some consulates ask
for Colored background and some require White or White-like background
only even if the photos are to be used for the passport/visa application
for the same country!!
With FREE Passport photo websites like ePassportphoto.com
and www.potraitbooth.com,
you will miss out these fine details but using full service OnlinePassportPhotos.com,
you will leave such worries behind as they take care of such details
for you.
- Most free passport photos
sites like ePassportphoto.com and www.potraitbooth.com
require you to upload a file within only acceptable file sizes. If your
photo file is too big or too small, the sites will reject your photos
outright.
