The service automatically locates a face in the uploaded portrait, separates it from the original background, and replaces it with a solid color of your choice. The output is a digital photo of an exact size, such as 3×4 cm, 35×45 mm, or 2×2 inches, ready for printing or online submission. You can also download a 10×15 cm print sheet containing multiple photos with cutting guides.

When this is useful

Imagine you urgently need a digital badge for work, but your only photo has a busy background. You upload it, select a blue background and a 3×4 cm size, and within a minute you have a file ready to send to HR. Another scenario: you are applying for a visa with varying photo requirements and need to create both 35×45 mm and 50×50 mm versions from a single selfie without visiting a photo studio.

Step-by-step instructions

  1. First, upload a portrait shot in JPG, PNG, WEBP, or HEIC format taken with a phone or camera.
  2. Next, choose a standard size like 3×4 cm or enter custom width and height in millimeters.
  3. Select your desired background color and, if needed, fine-tune the automatic face cropping by dragging the frame.
  4. Click the process button and download the result as a JPG, PNG, PDF, or a 10×15 cm print sheet.

How to verify the result

After processing, carefully compare the result with the original to ensure facial features are not distorted and no unnatural artifacts appear along the edge of the new background. Verify that the head and shoulders are centered and the chosen dimensions meet your institution's requirements. If printing the 10×15 cm sheet, check that the cutting guides are visible and do not crop out important parts of the image.

Important limitations

The service does not guarantee acceptance by official bodies, as biometric standards vary. It does not alter facial features or enhance the quality of the original shot, so a blurry or dark selfie will remain so. Background removal is a graphical separation, not a physical backdrop change during shooting, so complex hairstyles might require manual touch-ups.
