Passport Photo App vs Photo Shop

Use a photo app when you need privacy-conscious local preparation, multiple document sizes, a digital export, or a print layout from your own portrait. Use a photo shop when you need in-person help taking the portrait or the receiving workflow specifically requires a service provider. Neither option guarantees acceptance.
