Complyshot

Passport photos checked before you submit

Complyshot guides the shot, measures your face against the real government rules — head height, framing, background, focus, lighting — and gives you what your application needs: an exact-size file, the uncropped photo the UK and Irish online forms ask for, or a print sheet for any photo kiosk. Photo checks stay on your iPhone. Checking is free; saving the finished photo is a one-time purchase, no subscription.

Features

Built to pass, not to upsell

🎯

Guided Capture

Words under the guide tell you to move closer, step back or hold still. Have someone take it with the rear camera, or use the 3-second timer on your own.

📐

Measured, Not Guessed

Head height and eye line are measured on your iPhone against the numbers in the official specification — not eyeballed against a template.

✅

Plain-Language Checklist

Every check passes or fails in words you can act on, before you export — so you find out here, not at the counter.

📦

The Right Output for Each Document

Exact-size files for US and China uploads, the whole uncropped photo for UK and Irish online forms, and a true-size print sheet for Australian passports and Schengen visas.

🚫

No Fake Backgrounds

Complyshot never digitally replaces your background. Both the UK and US explicitly prohibit it, and photos that do it get rejected. Shoot against a real plain wall.

🔒

Photo Checks Stay On Your iPhone

Capture, measurement, checking and export run on your iPhone. No account or tracking; anonymous usage counts never include your photo. An image is sent only if you attach it to feedback.

💰

One Price, No Subscription

Every check is free, so you see whether your photo passes before you pay. Saving the finished photo is one in-app purchase: unlimited photos, every document, Family Sharing. No subscription, no ads. If you installed before 1.1, saving stays free.

Eight Documents, Each Done Its Own Way

How It Works

Three steps to a compliant photo

1

Pick your document

Choose the passport or visa you are applying for. Complyshot loads that government’s actual requirements — dimensions, aspect ratio, head height, file-size ceiling.

2

Shoot or import, with guides

Use the guided camera against a plain, evenly lit wall, or import a photo you already have. The overlay shows you where the head and eye line need to land.

3

Check, then save

Read the verdict and the fix for anything flagged. When it passes, save the photo or the print sheet; one purchase unlocks saving for every document.
