Not realizing it was an ad box I did - bad choice. I’m told this is unrelated to passport Photo, but beware. The same site still pops up in the box. The app then wants full access to your entire photo directory. Sorry no thanks. I can’t tell you whether this works or not - just not worth the risk. ### 3/5 — OK *2026-04-30, version 8.8* This is fine ### 3/5 — Not free *2026-04-25* I specifically looked for free apps for passport photo. This one was listed as a free app. Sure it was but in order to get a valid passport photo which means it has to be in color and also has to have a white background, you have to fork over about the same amount of money that you would pay by going into a local store and having them make your photo. Just don’t appreciate the false advertising. **Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback. You can replace the background with white color and print the single passport photo in color for free. ### 1/5 — Horrible app. Don’t get this *2026-04-10, version 8.6* This app made me pas $10 and never let me past an endless number of stupid games to do anything with the images. It’s a total ripoff. DON’T USE THIS APP! ### 1/5 — Gov No *2026-04-03* Je Ba No e **Developer response:** Спасибо за ваш отзыв. Мы очень ценим ваше профессиональное и культурное мнение. ### 1/5 — Scam…beware *2026-04-01, version 8.6* They will charge your account for $40 immediately after you register for this app. ### 1/5 — Tệ *2026-03-18, version 8.6* Tệ ### 1/5 — Это самое ужасное приложение *2026-03-18* . **Developer response:** Спасибо за ваш отзыв. Нам было бы интересно узнать что именно вам не понравилось. ### 1/5 — Just a thought but…hmmm *2026-03-17, version 8.6* Idk are they farming the passport photos? To make fake passports using your photos you’ve taken and edit to perfect? Odd 🤔 how you can never delete a photo you just take another photo. App kinda gives me weirdness vibes. ### 1/5 — Darkens background *2026-03-07, version 8.6* Don’t waste your time. This app darkens the background so the passport website will not except the photo. Very frustrating and a waste of time. ### 1/5 — Will sign you up for subscriptions and charge you *2026-03-04, version 8.6* When you click through to get your picture, there is a 0.01 cent charge it requests through Apple Pay. I paid this thinking it was for the picture but it in fact signed me up for a fitness subscription. Don’t use this spammy app, ChatGPT can format passport pictures for you ### 1/5 — Does only Gray scale photos *2026-03-03, version 8.6* Their software is not evolved to do colored. Don’t download this app. ### 1/5 — Garbage *2026-03-01, version 8.6* Absolute trash. My photos were rejected over and over by passport website because the background remover wasn’t good ### 1/5 — Spam trash *2026-02-17, version 8.6* If i could give negative stars I would. The whole game here is to route you onto some advertisers site where you think you’re putting in the credit card for the Passport Photo app free trial but I just paid for a Music service. I have no idea what I paid. You can’t even get through this app and click to the right buttons to use it without being diverted to an advertiser scamming you. Watch out it is a landmine of Spam ### 4/5 — Quick and simple! *2026-02-17* This app helped me edit the background of a selfie for my passport photo submission. My only issue was that I had to play around with the interface for a few minutes to figure out what each tool icon did, so adding descriptive text under each icon would help make the editing process more straightforward. Overall though, a great app that generates a free digital ID photo. ### 1/5 — Requires purchase - waste of time *2026-02-15, version 8.6* Requires purchase - waste of time ### 1/5 — Scam!!!! *2026-02-15, version 8.6* This app is a scam! Offer one passport photo for .10. I selected but the photo did not meet requirements for state department, file size too large. Photo was rejected so I moved on, accepted ten cent loss. Then the next day I was charged 49.90. They refused to refund. Offered only half and said they had to escalate refund request to senior management… however I think all emails were automated because they were not fully appropriate to what I was writing ### 1/5 — what u need, have to pay *2026-02-09, version 8.6* what you need, have to pay. so don’t need waste time on this app ### 1/5 — Rip off *2026-02-08* If you use this rip off you will get ads for games etc Would avoid totally. If I could give this a -10 I would. I hate ripoffs where you think you’re getting an actual app and all you get are ads for stupid games. I’d like to get my money back, but I don’t think they’ll give it to me. they also attach virus warnings on their app as well as worthless games and try to sell you other things. It’s really literally thievery and whoever designed this design designed to not help but just to enrich themselves. It really doesn’t even work worth anything. Sure hope this review gets published. I doubt they’ll do it because if I could, I would report them to the authorities that approve these things and sit and tell them that this guy has a total rip off and thief. **Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback. Ads can be removed permanently via a one-time in-app purchase. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Laden with ads *2026-07-28, version 9.0* Laden with ads to the point that it’s unusable ### 1/5 — Rip off *2026-07-02, version 9.0* After I paid $10 it still put ads over the app that could not be refused or removed. The only option was to go away from the app toRip off the offer. ### 1/5 — Not free *2026-06-30* Not free , you have to pay **Developer response:** Thank you for your fee­d­back. You do not have to make any purch­­­­­­a­­­­­­­ses. You can print or save the sin­g­­­­­­le passport pho­­­­­­­to in color and full quality for free. Sin­g­­­­­­le passport pho­­­­­­­to is usual­­­­­­­ly en­­­­­­­ough for a passport. If you need two, you can print twice or you can un­­­­­­­­­­­­­lock the other pa­per for­­­­­­­mats in color. ### 1/5 — Bad User Interface *2026-06-30, version 9.0* Very useless app. I literally wasted my money ### 1/5 — SCAM!!! *2026-06-25, version 9.0* Does NOT turn background white for free ### 1/5 — Passport photo *2026-05-25, version 9.0* This loaded and asked for credit card information. Then you can’t get in. What happens is a scam app called allmediaconent.com spoofs your card information. You find out when passport photo is still asking for card information. Allmedia starts up a monthly card charge. Had to kill my card to stop this. ### 1/5 — Scam *2026-05-22, version 9.0* Just ads, not helpful ### 1/5 — Worthless *2026-05-07, version 8.9* I tried this because I needed a better quality image than what I had but it didn’t make anything usable ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work unless you pay *2026-04-29, version 8.8* The free version is hyper annoying, but worse than that, it doesn’t even get you a passport photo. At least not in any way I could figure out. Save the headache and don’t download this. ### 1/5 — Ridiculous payment steps. $$$ for color photos then more $$$$ for ad removal. Just make it one price *2026-04-13, version 8.6* Ridiculous payment steps. $$$ for color photos then more $$$$ for ad removal. Just make it one price so it’s not a complete rip off. Then if I want to combine 4 photos to one page for printing family passport photos it cannot do it. Wife used the free ID Passport app and it worked better even with long ads. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Perfect *2026-07-30, version 9.0* The app was just what I needed to take my wife's and my passport photos. I couldn't find a spot with a good background so the change background feature was exactly what I needed. Submitted the applications online and had the passports in 10 days. ### 5/5 — It’s Actually Free *2026-02-02, version 8.6* The best part about this app is that it’s actually free. No BS. Of course there’s ads but thank goodness, because the App Stores are plagued with every app requiring subscriptions to use. ### 5/5 — Super *2026-01-08, version 8.6* Einfach ### 5/5 — Free & Worked like a charm *2026-01-05* I just need one photo for online passport application. It worked perfectly and its free. 100% recommended ### 5/5 — Best app *2025-11-02, version 8.5* Absolutely best app <3 ### 5/5 — 여권사진 규격맞추기 *2025-08-20* 와진짜너무조아요 규격맞춰짐….. ### 5/5 — This Good *2025-08-05, version 8.3* Good! ### 5/5 — App OTTIMA *2025-07-29, version 8.3* FOTOTESSERE STUPENDE… ### 5/5 — 드디어 성공했다 *2025-06-14* 계속 규격이 안 맞다고 해서 여러번 시도했는데 얘만 통과됐어요!ㅠ 테두리에 검은줄이 생기긴했는데 결과만 괜찮으면 됐죠 ### 5/5 — Excelente *2025-04-08, version 8.2* Esta aplicación es excelente, muy fácil de usar y súper práctica --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
