Common Issues
Background isn't the required solid color
Why: ID photos need specific backgrounds (usually white) that home photos lack
Most ID photos require pure white — AI handles this replacement precisely
Shadows on face don't meet requirements
Why: Home lighting creates shadows that ID photo guidelines reject
Even front lighting with zero shadows is the standard for all ID photos
Head position or framing isn't centered
Why: Selfies and casual photos don't have the centered framing IDs require
Check your country's specific size requirements before finalizing
Photo has a color cast or looks unnatural
Why: Indoor lighting creates yellow, blue, or green tints that get rejected
Natural skin tones are critical — tinted photos are commonly rejected
