Any age. The Common App and scholarship presets assume adult headshot framing.

Is it the same as the passport tool?

Same engine — different presets. We added Common App, scholarship, and exam-day specs on top of the passport cropping logic.

Will it always be free?

Yes, the photo cropping is free. If a school asks for a quick mail-back print service, that's the part we may charge for.

What's the privacy story?

Same as the rest of the site — your photo stays in your browser.

What file size limits?

Right now we cap at 10 MB and a max 4096-pixel edge. Higher portals, larger requirements? Email us.

Not yet, but that's the obvious next step once the single photo is solid.
