Background color matters
Most IDs require white or light blue; some visas require off-white or red. Pick the exact color the document specifies before exporting — an AI maker lets you switch the background instantly after removing the original one.
Print vs digital
For printing, use 300 DPI and the layout sheet (e.g. multiple 1-inch photos on a 5-inch print). For online submission, follow the portal's pixel size and file-size limit, then compress if the file is too large.
Step-by-step
- 1
Upload a clear headshot
Use even lighting, a neutral expression, and shoulders visible against any background.
- 2
Auto-remove background
The AI cuts out the subject and lets you choose white, blue, or another required color.
- 3
Pick the size
Select 1-inch, 2-inch, passport, or a custom size in mm/px.
- 4
Export & print
Download the single photo or the print sheet at 300 DPI.
