Passport photos that pass

Turn a photo you already have into a passport or visa photo that meets the official requirements — cropped, measured and checked inside your browser. No upload, no photo booth queue, no subscription.

Why this instead of the alternatives

A photo booth prints two copies and charges you before you know whether they are any good. Most phone apps charge weekly and quietly redraw your face. Passly does the measuring first, and lets you decide afterwards.

You see the verdict before you pay

The full compliance report is free. If your photo has a problem, you find out with your money still in your pocket.

Your photo never leaves the device

It is read from your disk straight into the extension and processed with the browser's own Canvas. There is no image server to leak from.

We do not redraw your face

No background replacement, no beauty filter, no generated features. Many authorities reject photos that have been digitally altered — we only crop and measure.

One price, yours to keep

$4.99 unlocks export permanently. Export again next year from any computer by signing in once — nothing to cancel, nothing to renew.

Most rejected photos fail for the same four reasons

Head too small. Background not plain enough. Resolution too low. Shadows across the face. Passly measures all four against the specification you choose, and shows you exactly what is wrong — before you spend anything.

  • Resolution and pixel dimensions
  • Head height as a share of the frame
  • Background plainness and evenness
  • Lighting evenness across the face

Your photo never leaves your device

This is not a policy we could quietly change — it is how the extension is built. When you pick a photo, it is read straight from your disk into the extension's own page and processed with the browser's standard Canvas API. There is no upload step, no image server, and no copy on our side.

Frequently asked

Is my photo uploaded anywhere?

No. Cropping, adjusting, analysis and export all happen locally in your browser. The extension asks for network access only when you sign in to unlock export, and that request carries your sign-in — never your photo.

Is this a subscription?

No. It is a single one-time payment of $4.99 that unlocks export permanently. There is no recurring charge and nothing to cancel.

Will my photo definitely be accepted?

We cannot promise that — and you should be suspicious of anything that does. We check your photo against the requirements the issuing authority publishes, and we show you what looks wrong. The final decision always rests with the authority reviewing your application.

What if I need to export again later?

Nothing to keep and nothing to lose. Sign in with the same Google account on any computer and export again at no extra cost.

What if it does not work for me?

Email us within 14 days of purchase and we will refund you in full. You do not have to give a reason.

Do I need an account?

Not to check a photo — that is free and needs no sign-in at all. To unlock export you sign in with Google once, so your purchase follows you to any computer. There is no separate password to create or remember.
