It says you can download your photo, but this is misleading.
Even if you don't need a passport, you have to start making a passport application, and after a few steps you can enter your photo code.

You will then be presented with a thumbnail of your image. There are no options to download a full high-res version of the image. You can try to save the thumbnail but it is too small to be of any use for anything.

Having tried unsuccessfully to upload my photo for Irish passport contacted customer service via chat and they told me the photo machine had been faulty and that was the reason . They have promised a refund. I am trying again also hough now having to wait for the passport office to reissue a photo submission form as I used up all my allotted goes with the faulty code

Automated information. No refunds. Lacking any personal help . A money grabbing company with no actual people to help or advise. Rubbish.

Had a problem uploading a digital photo to a drivers license application. Luke clark help solve the solution.

The photos are fine, but I was lead to believe I was buying a digital photo that I could use for other purposes. I expected I would be able to download the photo (or receive it by email) at a reasonable resolution for my own use. I can't see any reason why the company doesn't make this facility available - it would be easy to provide a secure code - but it appears they don't allow it. I feel I have been mislead and am disappointed by this service. I will not use it in future, nor recommend to others.

Very happy with how they helped me when I was stuck, and very quick as well,

Simple process for passport photos. I got the code, it worked on the .gov website and I got a passport.

No option to download the photo file beyond the thumbnail one can get in the UK Gov site. Poor service.

Really great customer service from the team

It was a very memorable experience; the customer service centre resolved my confusion promptly, which was appreciated.

I recently had a problem obtaining a refund for a digital image that hadn’t worked. Luke at customer services soon spotted that I had miss-read the number of the location site. He couldn’t have been more helpful. I do however think that my mistake of miss-reading 5i22 (in extremely small type) for S122 must be a fairly common mistake and as such would hope Photo-Me could do something to avoid this situation re-occurring. Hope this helps others 👍🏻

I was hoping to get digital copies of the passport photos I had printed off. I thought I could only use the digital prints code if I was filling in a UK passport application. I contacted the customer services to see if they could help. They advised going through the first stages of the passport application, and when you input the code for the photos, you could simply save the photos from that location. Great tip and I have digital copies of the prints -answered my query with a couple of hours. Great service. Thanks

The customer service colleague was prompt in getting back to me, and very helpful in addressing my query.

We contacted photo me as the post office staff had advised that to get a photo for a driving licence we would get a code which we could look up & digitally upload. Unfortunately this was not quite true as the link was for passports. The contact talked us through how to get the photo from the passport site to be able to upload & am pleased to say we received the new license a few days later. 👍

Service not provided - digital file promised, but no way to download the image with sufficient file size.

Customer service representative Lucy, claimed that the only way to do so is via the gov.uk website by applying for a new passport, stopping half way, and pressing right click, save image. Said image is thumbnail size, and only 18kb. UK passports require MINIMUM 40kb, let alone any other visa photo requirements.

Photo-me should not falsely advertise or sell online digital files/ photos if they have no way of delivering the product to their customers.

The whole process was a huge inconvenience and waste of time. I am now seeking a refund as was unable to retrieve my image with a file size large enough to satisfy the purpose of an ID photo.

What a total scam! The booth does not say that you're only able to see part of a digital copy on the .gov website. When using the .gov website, you do not have access to the photo as printed from the machine. Nor do you have the quality from the pathetic 17.5KB. It's very blury and will not scale. You also, have to go through the process of applying for your passport to see it, which is not what I needed to do. I needed a digital copy for another type of application that required a digital passport photo. And what is the point of having a helpline phone number when all it does is direct you to the website immediately! Our family will not be using your services again. If there is a way to see these photos in good quality and be able to store them, I can't find it anywhere

Great customer service. Emailed with my problem and it was solved within 1 hour. Excellent service.

I had similar issues about getting digital copy & the size of the photo for visa - however after contacting them they did provide a work around solution which was fine for me.

Absolute waste of money.

No where to download digital photos.

Their number (0800 035 6600) does not work properly.
Chat function on website does not work.
Does not respond to emails.

Wasted money.
Missed my deadline for application so lost fees.

Edit:
They haven't responded to my refund request (yet they have time to respond to me on here, their brand is more important than me, clearly) so I will need to complete a chargeback with my card issuer.

The 'guidance' to download it from the HMPO website is useless. The image is a thumbnail, it's small, low quality, low resolution.

Use an alternative photo booth.

the photo code wasnt enough digits for an irish passport
