Pocket Photo Studio

Compliant passport & ID photos in about 30 seconds — no watermark, processed 100% on your iPhone. Your photo never leaves your device.

Need a passport or ID photo right now? Skip the booth.

Pocket Photo Studio turns your iPhone into a compliant photo studio. Take the photo at home, and the app crops it to your country's exact requirements, replaces the background with a compliant color, and checks it against the official rules — in about 30 seconds.

And it does all of this on your device. Your face is never uploaded to a server. No account. No cloud. Just a photo that's ready to print or upload.

Why people choose Pocket Photo Studio

• Free. Take it, check it, export it — no paywall, no catch. • No watermark. Your finished photo is clean — not stamped with a logo you have to pay to remove. • Truly private. Everything runs on your iPhone using Apple's on-device technology. Your biometric photo stays with you. • Compliance you can see. A clear checklist shows head size, background, centering, lighting and more — with tips to fix anything before you submit. • Print or upload. Save a digital file at the exact size, or a ready-to-print 4×6 sheet with multiple copies for your local print shop.

Built for real documents

Passports, visas, driving licences, ID cards, residence permits, and online application photos — with country presets including the US, UK, Schengen/EU, Canada, Australia, India and more, plus custom sizes.

Honest by design

Most photo apps lure you through the whole process, then demand a weekly fee or slap a watermark on the photo you need right now. We don't. It's free, the export is clean, and your data never leaves your phone.

Pocket Photo Studio helps you prepare a compliant photo, but acceptance is always decided by the issuing authority. Please check your photo against your authority's official requirements before submitting.
