How long processing takes
Processing runs entirely on your own device using AI, so the time it takes depends on your internet connection and device speed — it's usually just a few seconds on WiFi or a fast connection. On a slower or mobile connection, it may take a bit longer the first time; the tool automatically adjusts to get you a result as quickly as it can, and you can also pick a faster processing mode under the AI Model Accuracy selector in the sidebar panel.
Official Compliance & AI Disclaimer
While PassportSnap AI automates centering, scaling, and background replacement to fit biometric guidelines, it does not alter your facial features, structure, or skin. Government agencies (including the U.S. Department of State and the UK HM Passport Office) prohibit the use of AI filters or software that modify your natural appearance. Ensure your uploaded original photo is sharp, well-lit, unaltered, and conforms to official photo rules.
