Short answer
Passport photos require a neutral, natural expression with your mouth closed and eyes open. A slight relaxed look is fine, but an open-mouthed smile, raised eyebrows or exaggerated expressions cause rejection because they interfere with facial recognition. Look straight at the camera and relax your face.
Snapport lets you take a compliant photo at home: it sets a plain background, crops to the exact size and helps you avoid the common rejection reasons. Always confirm your country's current official rules before you submit.

Quick comparison
| Need | What to check | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Pricing model | Check whether useful features require a subscription, a one-time unlock, or neither. | The cheapest app on day one may not be cheapest after a year. |
| Privacy model | Prefer on-device work when the content is sensitive. | Private documents, resumes, study data, and family content deserve careful handling. |
| Export / lock-in | Confirm file formats, sharing, backup, and deletion controls. | A good app should help you finish the task, not trap your work. |
