Customer feedback:
You guys are great!
Had to re-submit my passport photos, since those they took at
Walgreens didn't come out clear enough... So when I found your
website I thought it sounded like a good idea, and sure enough,
it worked great!
Thanks for excellent service!

Your
Digital Photos should meet following requirements:
|
X
Your photo should NOT be a close-up. Face should be around
10%-20% of the photo or full shoulders
(both) should be visible with
some open space above the head.
X
Photo background should be light colored and uniform
X
Your photo should have enough resolutin. File size of the picture
must be more than 50KB
X
Face in the photo should be uniformly exposed (One side side of
the face should not be remarkably darker or lighter than the other)
X
Avoid
shadows created by camera flash (We can fix some shadows but
if the shadow is mixing with hair, we can not fix it)

Composition tip:
-Imagine the
photo you are taking is made up of 9 identical pieces/squares.
The face has to be no bigger than one of those 9 squares and should
be in the middle. The square in Green line shows how a Passport
photo will be made out of it. Please do not crop the photo at
your end. Let us do the cropping.

For Passport Photos: Good Digital
Photos vs Bad Photos
Useful tips for taking nice digital
photos
As an experienced and leading
convertor of digital photos into passport photos, we recommend you to
upload a photo on our website that has following features:
* Never take a close up.
Try to include upper half of the body in the photo. (Please if that
is too much, make sure your photo has full shoulders visible)
* Keep around 1 to 2 feet of distance between you and the background
so there are no or minimum shadows created by camera flash. (Try holding
camera in such a way that lens and flash are aligned vertically)
* Never crop a picture at your end. Let us do the cropping.
* Make sure the background is uniform and light colored (unless you
are ordering photos for OCI/Overseas Citizenship of India)

not sure about if we can convert your digital photo into passport photos
for you? Email us your photos for pre-approval before you place your
order
Sure. We understand that
many people may like to make sure that their digital picture(s) can
be converted into valid passport photos before they use their credit
card and place an order.
Email your pictures to

Indian Passport photos, etc). Then we will look at your photos and
email you back to let you know if we can convert them into great passport

(Tip: To save your time, you can also request us in your same email
to email you back a PayPal invoice so you do not need to come back
to our website to complete your order.)
If
