It automatically removes your background to pure white in 3 seconds, crops your portrait to exact government dimensions (2x2 inch / 51x51mm for US Passports, Green Cards, and US Visas; or 35x45mm for UK, Schengen Europe, and Canada), and lays out 4 identical copies onto a standard 4x6 inch print sheet. By printing this sheet as a standard 4x6 photo at Walgreens, Walmart, or CVS, you pay only $0.35 to $0.40 instead of the $16.99 pharmacy photo fee.
