Independent Software Disclaimer

passportsize-photo.com is an independent digital image formatting utility. We are not affiliated with, associated with, authorized by, endorsed by, or in any way officially connected with any governmental agency, department, consulate, embassy, or official passport issuing authority (including the U.S. Department of State, UK HMPO, the Ministry of External Affairs of India, or any Schengen state consulate).

01.Acceptance of Terms

By accessing or using the website located at passportsize-photo.com ("Service", "Website", "we", "our", or "us"), you agree to be bound by these Terms and Conditions ("Terms"). If you disagree with any part of these terms, you must discontinue use of the Service immediately.

02.Description of Service

The Service provides a free, client-side web application enabling users to crop, align, format, adjust color balances, and tile personal photographs to align with published passport, visa, and identification dimension standards.

The Service is provided free of charge for both individual and non-automated commercial use. We do not charge fees, require subscriptions, or insert watermarks on generated files.

03.User Compliance & Consular Acceptance

While our presets are engineered to match published millimeter specifications and biometric oval standards (ICAO Doc 9303), the user retains sole and final responsibility for ensuring that their submitted photograph satisfies all official government guidelines.

  • You are responsible for capturing a portrait with appropriate neutral facial expression, closed mouth, and direct eye contact.
  • You are responsible for ensuring adequate, uniform, shadow-free lighting and compliant background colors (e.g. pure white or off-white/cream).
  • You are responsible for removing prohibited items, such as eyeglasses, non-religious head coverings, headphones, or obstructing accessories.
  • You must verify the current specific requirements of the receiving agency or consulate prior to physical printing or official digital submission.

We cannot guarantee that any government entity, consulate, or visa service center will accept a photograph generated with this utility. We assume no liability for rejected passport, visa, or citizenship applications.

04.Intellectual Property & Content Ownership

Your Photographs (100% Yours)

You retain complete, exclusive ownership and copyright of any image you upload or process through the Service. Because all processing executes on your device's browser memory, we do not store, view, host, or license your images.

Our Software & Brand

The visual design, branding, codebases, custom scripts, biometric guide algorithms, graphic assets, and editorial copy on passportsize-photo.com are protected by copyright, trademark, and other applicable intellectual property laws.

05.Acceptable Use Policy

By using the Service, you agree not to:

  • Engage in automated scraping, mass data harvesting, or systematic crawling of our web pages.
  • Attempt to reverse-engineer, decompile, or tamper with the client-side code bundle to introduce malicious scripts or malware.
  • Launch denial-of-service (DoS/DDoS) attacks, flood requests, or otherwise impair the operational integrity of our hosting servers and CDN.
  • Use the Service for fraudulent purposes, including creating falsified identity credentials or forged official documents.

06.Disclaimer of Warranties

THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, OR NON-INFRINGEMENT.

We do not warrant that the Service will be uninterrupted, error-free, timely, secure, or free from viruses or other harmful components.

07.Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, in no event shall passportsize-photo.com, its operators, creators, or contributors be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages (including, but not limited to, rejected passport or visa applications, expedited renewal fees, missed flights, missed travel reservations, loss of data, or loss of profits) arising out of or in connection with your access to, use of, or inability to use the Service.

08.External Links

Our website and documentation contain hyperlinks to external sites, such as official consular portals (e.g. travel.state.gov, gov.uk, icao.int) or printing kiosks (e.g. Walgreens, CVS). These links are provided solely for your convenience. We have no control over the content, terms, or privacy policies of third-party websites.

09.Modifications

We reserve the right to revise or replace these Terms at any time. When changes are made, we will update the "Last Updated" date at the top of this document. Continued use of the Service following the posting of modifications signifies your acceptance of the revised Terms.
