How it works

  1. Upload your photo

    Upload a recent selfie or headshot with your face clearly visible and evenly lit. A plain-ish background isn't required — the AI replaces it — but avoid photos where your face is partly turned away or in deep shadow. JPG, PNG, WebP up to 7MB.

    Expect: Most edits complete in 20-45 seconds. Photos with uneven lighting or a busy background may need 1-2 refinements.
  2. Describe your edit

    Type what you want: 'Convert this selfie into a DMV driver's license photo with white background and proper framing.' Be specific about details for best results. The AI understands natural language — no technical skills needed.

    Tip: Check the platform's current size requirements — they change frequently.

Kitchen selfie turned into a licence photo

A phone selfie taken in a cluttered kitchen under a warm ceiling light. The result is a compliant licence photo: pure white background, head and shoulders squared to the frame, the lighting evened out across her face and a neutral expression.

Prompt: turn this kitchen selfie into a DMV-compliant licence photo: replace the background with plain white, square her head and shoulders to the frame, even out the lighting on her face, and give her a neutral expression looking straight at the camera
