Easy peasy
Easy to do. I could use a photo I had already taken, and they cleaned up the background. A pure white background was unavailable and so I used a white door which had some design lines. These were removed. My daughter was very unwilling to have her picture taken in a public place like a post office. This was a solution for about the same price. If you have 3 or 4 days for the mailing, this is perfect.

High quality photos and customer…
High-quality photos and customer service are very professional. Even if I ask questions on the weekend, I could get an immediate reply. I am very willing to recommend it to my friends and family. Really thanks for the great team :)

PhotoAid is fantastic
PhotoAid is fantastic! I attempted for hours on my own to upload a photo for a Pakistan tourist visa, but every time experienced failure - kept getting an error message: “Unable to detect face”. It was very frustrating! I tried PhotoAid and the app version photo did not work, but PhotoAid customer service worked on the image and I was able to successfully upload my photo image. I am so pleased with the extra service and effort that PhotoAid provided! I highly recommend PhotoAid!

A very useful App that delivers your photo needs!
The App is very cool. It is very easy to use and very handy when you need it. I was interested in a digital photo for an e-visa application and I got one for myself and my family. One improvement I would recommend is to review the photo requirements for a traditional visa application vs an e-visa application. For example in my case the photo requirement for the e-visa was different. I also like that the pictures taken by the app are reviewed by human. I would definitely use it for myself and my family in the future. I will also recommend it to my family and friends.
