Trying to do this with my teenage daughter's photo. Where it says to get the chin positioned inside the green bar/line, this is ok, however, my daughter has her hair up slightly - would it be the top of her forehead (hairline) that needs to be inside the green bar/line, or the top of her hair (where it is piled up slightly)? Thank you.

I was recently doing the passports for all the kids and the missus (6 passports) for a summer holiday. It all adds up you know. £30 for the photos in the machine. There was a post on here a while back similar to this one and I used my old digital camera, uploaded to the site, saved the images to a memory pen, popped into boots and printed them off. Cost me less than a few quid. Passports all came back OK.

£20 for 2? Dude, it's £3 for 4 at my local Tesco, which is somewhere I go anyway every week anyway.
I just tried this, and Passport corner cost $5.95, plus there is £0.59p ($0.90c ish) which totals $6.85, plus there is the cost of me driving to Boots to get them printed. That's well over the £3 Tesco charge, and it's more than the £4 some guy mentioned in the comments.
It's also not really a life hack, or any kind of hack for that matter. A hack would be using the photo machine for something other than that which was intended. This is just an online service that costs money. That's a service, not a hack, and in a lot of cases it's not cheaper anyway.

Don't ever believe the Police to be some altruistic organisation working wholly in our best interests. People are wrongly given criminal convictions all the time. & the likes of Cyril Smith & the Hillsborough disaster demonstrate that the Police are often a law unto themselves.
Yes, there might be more to the story than has been told so far. But by the same token, the wrong comment to the wrong Officer on the wrong day could quite easily lead to a Police caution.
Half a story there... You didn't get cautioned/reprimanded for questioning a policemans rights. You must have committed an offence that you admitted to doing. Shame the U.S. Is a lovely place

I've tried this before. I made by own 6*4 image, printed it at boots and the system decided to crop and zoom it slightly even though there was no need.
End result - photos and head inside were larger than the specified limits. I didn't want some jobsworth to reject my visa application based on a few mm, so I went to snappysnaps who printed it properly. Cost over £1 and took 10 minutes, but it came out right. Boots wasted my time and money.

Voted hot for description which is very creative ....
But I would not call it a deal. The problem if this one is called a deal is that :
1. It is based on wrong assumption e.g passport photos 2 for 20 where in fact 5 photos for £5 in almost any booth easily accessible to everybody.
2. It does not recognize that time is money.
- Go to: http://passportcorner.com
- Upload your pic.
- Click the download and print myself button. You get 5 images downloaded on 1 6x4
- Get yourself to Boots and print them out for £0.39. Is this one cost less than £4.61 ???
3. Get it wrong then repeat the whole process again, so double the time
4. Some people do not have a good resolution camera on their phone to be ever considered an acceptable passport photo....
Is it a deal ???

Yes, you can go to the Ds-160 online form and upload the image. It tells you whether or not it would be accepted. It was. More to the point, I know a lot of people here are saying "just take one on your phone against a white wall" but I did this after I tried that a lot. The embassy software detects bad light, shadowing the eyes and grubby backdrops. So free portrait light in these boxes was ideal. Worked first time.

Just take a snap on a normal camera or phone (against a grey or cream background ideally, in good light but avoiding shadows). Then upload to this site - idphoto4u.com
It helps you crop the image, then you download it as a 6x4 print so can just get it printed. I've used this method for all my family's latest passport photos, no problems. With young kids it saves the hassle too of going to a photo booth

Opening post
This is a bit of a life hack.
I needed some images for my recently declined US visa... pffffff breeeeeaaathe.
Snappy snaps wanted to give me a sick deal! £20 for 2 images. ...no
So, do what I did.
Go to your nearest photobooth, get yourself inside, get your camera phone out, obviously an iPhone and snap away using your front camera.
THEN.. Go to: http://passportcorner.com
Upload your pic. They crop it for UK and US passports.
Click the download and print myself button.
You get 5 images downloaded on 1 6x4
Get yourself to Boots and print them out for £0.39
BAM.. Life.. Hacked!

Have some SSSSSSSSSSSSSSEEEEEEEEERRRIIIIIIIIOOUSSS Heat! - Disney World - here I come.
This worked for me and my family. Less than £1.00 in total!
THEN THE ONLY trip you need to make is when you actually want the image printed at Boots.
BAM, LIFE HACKED EVEN MORE.
What's wrong with the word 'tip' ?
BTW, I've being doing this with passport pictures for years, I'm surprised anybody still uses those photo booths!
I just tried this, and Passport corner cost $5.95, plus there is £0.59p ($0.90c ish) which totals $6.85, plus there is the cost of me driving to Boots to get them printed. That's well over the £3 Tesco charge, and it's more than the £4 some guy mentioned in the comments.
It's also not really a life hack, or any kind of hack for that matter. A hack would be using the photo machine for something other than that which was intended. This is just an online service that costs money. That's a service, not a hack, and in a lot of cases it's not cheaper anyway.
Also, £20 referred to the US Visa images which shops seem to think are specialist and charge you more for. You're not the first to miss the point.

Don't ever believe the Police to be some altruistic organisation working wholly in our best interests. People are wrongly given criminal convictions all the time. & the likes of Cyril Smith & the Hillsborough disaster demonstrate that the Police are often a law unto themselves.
Yes, there might be more to the story than has been told so far. But by the same token, the wrong comment to the wrong Officer on the wrong day could quite easily lead to a Police caution.

Interestingly I put your image into PhotoShop and inverted the colours - you are fooling no one now, this is what came out;
Oh come on...you sign in to Quidco, search for the company you are buying from, then click through on the link and buy as normal. It adds about a minute to the buying process --- yet for me at least, has given me almost £800 back in 15 months!
I'm on here for good deals. I've bought lots of things I wouldn't usually buy haha
I've tried this before. I made by own 6*4 image, printed it at boots and the system decided to crop and zoom it slightly even though there was no need.
End result - photos and head inside were larger than the specified limits. I didn't want some jobsworth to reject my visa application based on a few mm, so I went to snappysnaps who printed it properly. Cost over £1 and took 10 minutes, but it came out right. Boots wasted my time and money.
Voting cold sorry. Idea is good but not at that merchant.
And yeah you definitely shouldn't have said anything, you'd have been absolutely fine :wink:
Why are you on hot deals. Isn't this site designed for tight ****
Save the pennies and pounds for a decent phone
so yes I used the booth but I am not keen to spend £5 each time not knowing the quality of the images til after I paid!
Now take my own pics. upload and adjust then print and cut!
But I'm only playing by the rules which state passport photos can't be cut down from a larger photo. Wouldn't you rather do things by the book and get it right rather than risk the agro of it potentially being rejected? I know I would.
DVLA accepted them fine. I'm sure passport people will too.
Not sure you have to print it out even - cant you upload it and do it online nowadays?
Relax. If you feel dead set on stressing yourself out first thing in the morning... on a Saturday, do it somewhere else for a while... or maybe that's too time consuming? This was a post to inspire thought and another way to do something. Seriously, lighten up. If it's not for you, fine.. there's no need to wee on the bonfire. It's a bit of fun. :-D
But I would not call it a deal. The problem if this one is called a deal is that :
1. It is based on wrong assumption e.g passport photos 2 for 20 where in fact 5 photos for £5 in almost any booth easily accessible to everybody.
2. It does not recognize that time is money.
- Go to: http://passportcorner.com
- Upload your pic.
- Click the download and print myself button. You get 5 images downloaded on 1 6x4
- Get yourself to Boots and print them out for £0.39. Is this one cost less than £4.61 ???
3. Get it wrong then repeat the whole process again, so double the time
4. Some people do not have a good resolution camera on their phone to be ever considered an acceptable passport photo....
Is it a deal ???
BAAAM!!!
Did it pass for your Visa?
if not they will be rejected, if so good find. I take these as part of my job so I know how fussy they can be.
Hey, yes they align it with markers ✌️

I bet they have, and I bet the know what the S stands for
I have thick skin on my feet, should I show them that?
Would not want to see you excited!
Have some heat brother scrounge
hahahaha
It helps you crop the image, then you download it as a 6x4 print so can just get it printed. I've used this method for all my family's latest passport photos, no problems. With young kids it saves the hassle too of going to a photo booth
Passport and ID photo creator thingy
Boots always seems hard work locally which is why I go elsewhere.
Seem to think you can do similar at Asda or Tesco if they have a photo lab instore?
;-p
LIFFFEEEE HHHAAACKKK
