Frequently asked questions

Can I wear contact lenses or have a beard in a Polish passport photo?

Yes. Contact lenses are fine if they do not change the natural shape and colour of your eyes, and facial hair is allowed if you can still be recognised.

What about photos of young children?

For children up to age 5, closed eyes, an open mouth or an unnatural expression are allowed, but the face must be uncovered and the background light and even.

No. Resizing, compression, face detection and background removal all run inside your browser. The photo never leaves your device and nothing is stored.
