What about FREE Online Passport Photo
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 works fine if you are a seasoned photographer
and your photos have good lighting, exposure and no shadows created
by flash.
- 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 having seen portrait photos taken by thousands of
people, we estimate that barely 10% of the photos taken by common people
with their compact digital cameras have the right exposure, background
and contrast 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.
ePassportPhoto.com clearly mentioned to use their FREE service for 2x2
inch photos for "Non-official usage"
- 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/Visa
photos. As an example, for Passport Photos for India, the Consulate
of India at San Francisco, New York or Chicago will ask you to submit
2x2 inch photos but if you are submitting your application to the Consulate
of India in Houston, 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.

What about ONLINE Passport photo websites that charge only $2 or $3!
Well, if you are talking about
paying (only) $2 or $3, why not use the FREE online passport websites?
These deep discounted on the Intranet do not do anything to fix your photos!
They just email you a photo which FREE Passport websites give you for
FREE! If your photos are well exposed, face is bright, and there is no
shadow by flash, we recommend you to use the free passport photo websites
instead of paying $2 or $3!!
