A passport photo costs $15 at a drugstore. The online tools that exist either charge $7 to $15 per photo, force you to create an account, slap a watermark on the result, or upload your image to a server somewhere.
None of that needs to be true. A passport photo is a crop, a resize, and a background check - operations a smartphone browser can do in seconds. So we built the tool we wished existed.
What you can do today
- Take a passport, visa, or ID photo for any of 85+ countries
- Skip the signup - there is no account to create
- Skip the watermark - the result is a clean, print-ready image
- Keep your photo private - image processing happens entirely in your browser
- Print at any pharmacy for about $0.30, instead of paying $15+ at a studio
What's next
The roadmap for the next month:
- Add the remaining countries to reach full ICAO coverage
- Print-ready PDF output (multiple photos arranged on a 4×6 sheet)
- Better baby and infant photo guidance - the rules differ significantly from adults
- Per-country guides walking through the specific requirements at the consulate level
No subscription, no premium tier, no hidden upsell. The site stays free.
FAQ
Is IDPhotoSnap really free?
Yes. No registration, no watermark, no upsell. The first photo is free, the hundredth is free.
Where does my photo go?
Nowhere. Image processing runs entirely in your browser - there is no server-side upload. You can verify this in your browser's DevTools by watching the Network tab while you use the tool.
How does it support 85+ countries?
Each country has its own dimensions, head-size rules, and background requirements. We've encoded these specifications based on official consulate guidelines, and the tool auto-applies the correct preset when you choose a country.
How can I help?
Try the tool, share it if it works for you, and upvote on Product Hunt to help others find it. Honest feedback is the most useful thing - if a country's output looked wrong, tell us so we can fix the spec.
