PRIVACY

Your photos stay with you.

Passport Print Studio processes selected photos and camera captures in your browser. The studio does not upload them to a photo-processing server.

Effective October 7, 2026. This page describes the web studio.

The paid web edition has a separate paid export privacy notice. After explicit consent, normalized photo copies and crop/edit settings are processed temporarily by our private rendering service to prepare watermarked previews or verified paid downloads.

Optional background cleanup

Automatic background cleanup runs on your device. On first use, the browser downloads public processing tools and a portrait-segmentation model from this website; this can use about 14 MB of data. Those public files can be cached for later use. Your photo and its background mask are held only in memory and are never added to the offline cache. Requests for the processing library's external metrics are blocked. Clear all photos or reload to discard the editing session.

The tool estimates edges and replaces the backdrop without generating a new face. Inspect fine hair, glasses and clothing. Use it only where your receiving organization permits background editing. Official U.S. and UK passport presets require a real backdrop and disable this tool.

Photos and editing sessions

Chosen photos, camera captures and edits are held in page memory. Clear all photos removes the app's current session. Closing or reloading the page also ends it. The app's offline cache contains public application assets, not personal photos. Browser or operating-system storage behavior is controlled by your device.

Downloads, originals and sharing

Files you download or save remain in the destination you choose until you remove them. Sharing sends a file to the receiving app or destination you select; that service then handles it under its own policies. Your device's backup and sync settings can also affect saved files.

Original-file saving preserves the bytes the browser's picker provided. A photo picker may convert an asset before the studio receives it. The studio cannot undo that conversion.

Camera permissions

Camera access is requested when you choose to take a photo. You can deny permission and select a file instead. The studio stops its browser camera stream when capture closes or the page becomes inactive. Camera and photo-picker behavior outside the studio remains subject to your browser and device settings.

Hosting and external links

Your browser contacts the website's hosting providers to fetch public app files. Providers may process ordinary connection information, including IP addresses, browser details and request metadata, for delivery, security and operational logs. That is separate from the app's local photo processing; their retention follows their own policies.

The production web edition is intended to use Cloudflare Pages/Workers delivery. See the OpenAI privacy policy and Cloudflare privacy policy. Opening official guidance links contacts those external websites.

Help and changes
