Review the professional result

Check that the photo meets official standards: neutral expression, even lighting, clean background, and proper head positioning. Verify the background is uniform and lighting illuminates the face evenly.
Refine with markers if needed

If lighting needs adjustment or background edges need cleaning up, tap markers on those specific areas and regenerate. Most ID photos look perfect on the first try.

Tip: Markers are for precision refinement only. Try without them first—AI usually nails the professional look immediately.

If something looks off

AI changed the wrong area or something I didn't want changed

Why: The AI couldn't determine exactly which part of the photo you wanted to adjust from description alone. This happens with complex photos that have multiple people or objects.

Try: Tap a marker on the specific area you want to adjust, then regenerate with the same prompt

Try This →

Tip: Markers tell the AI 'I mean THIS person specifically.' Use them when working with group photos or complex scenes.

Background isn't perfectly white or has uneven areas

Why: Complex backgrounds or mixed lighting can create challenges for achieving perfectly uniform background replacement.

Try: create perfectly uniform white background with no shadows or variations

Try This →

Tip: Adding 'perfectly uniform' and 'no shadows' gives the AI specific guidance for official compliance.

Lighting on face isn't even or creates unflattering shadows

Why: The original photo had directional lighting that the AI tried to preserve, but ID photos need flat, even illumination.

Try: apply professional studio lighting with even illumination across the entire face

Try This →

Tip: 'Studio lighting' tells the AI to use the flat, shadowless lighting that officials prefer.

Expression looks too casual or inappropriate for official documents

Why: The AI preserved the original expression, but ID photos typically require neutral, serious expressions.

Try: adjust to neutral professional expression suitable for government documents

Try This →

Tip: Specify 'government documents' to signal that a formal, neutral expression is required.

Head position or crop doesn't meet official standards

Why: Different documents have specific requirements for how much of the head and shoulders should be visible.

Try: crop and position for official passport standards - head and shoulders properly framed

Try This →

Tip: Each document type has different framing requirements. Research the specific standards for your application.
