Frequently asked questions
How long does it take?
Most photos are processed and validated in about a minute. You see every check before paying anything.
When do I pay?
All checks are free. Pay after you see your finished Premium Photo. It is $10 for the corrected, print-ready JPEG and PDF, with up to 10 total tries.
What does the $10 photo include?
The $10 Premium Photo is cropped and corrected for the selected document, delivered as a print-ready JPEG and PDF. Every edit is similarity-checked against your original to preserve your identity.
What can the Premium Photo correct?
Your Premium Photo can replace the background, fix lighting, relax expressions, and straighten a tilted photo. Eyewear edits are best effort because hidden eye detail cannot be recovered, so we recommend retaking without eyewear. A turned or angled head still needs a new photo. Every edited result is similarity-checked against your original and rejected if your identity changes.
What do I actually get?
Free gives you every check with a live preview. The $10 Premium Photo gives you the corrected, downloadable JPEG and print-ready PDF, with up to 10 total tries.
Is my photo private?
Yes. Photos are stored privately and automatically deleted after 28 days. We never sell or share your images.
