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 4×6 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 2×2 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.
