This app is completely useless. It demands the pictures in the wong order, telling you to take a selfie, instead of a picture of a passport, but the selfie camera is disabled for PP photos. Then every photo is wrong -- completely plain, white backgrounds are too "decorated", you're too close or too far (from the same distance), "your face is slightly in profile" (when it's not), and "this is only a preview after processing" (WTB does that even mean?!?) Garbage. Negative stars.

Hello, Thank you for your feedback. For some products, selfie mode cannot be enabled. The photo is then processed automatically with AI, which suggests improvements. Finally, after payment, a human review is carried out to validate the photo or offer you a free retake.

Waste of money - I wanted to save money by using this app and instead spent more. I picked the photo I wanted but it never says the sizing. So I had the wrong size and had to do it again and spent more than I would have if I had just done it in store. Also, I read somewhere that you can make a layout on here for printing but you can't. I wouldn't recommend unless you know what you're doing.

Hello, Thank you for your feedback and we’re sorry for the disappointment. An important clarification: in our app, the format is adjusted automatically based on the product you select. You therefore don’t need to choose the dimensions yourself; a size error should not occur. For any questions, please write to contact@smartphone-id.com

Used this app for ID photos in France as well as passport photo in USA. It's fast, easy and met the guidelines of all governmental agencies to which photos were submitted. In at least one instance, the speed of the processing saved me from missing an important deadline. Price is very reasonable for service provided. I recommend it.
