Common Issues

Background isn't the required solid color

Why: ID photos need specific backgrounds (usually white) that home photos lack

Try: replace the background with a clean solid white background

Most ID photos require pure white β€” AI handles this replacement precisely

Shadows on face don't meet requirements

Why: Home lighting creates shadows that ID photo guidelines reject

Try: remove all shadows from the face, make the lighting completely even

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

Try: center the head in frame and crop to standard ID photo proportions

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

Try: correct the color to show natural, accurate skin tones on a white background

Natural skin tones are critical β€” tinted photos are commonly rejected

FAQ

Why are my document photos being rejected?

Common reasons: glare on laminated surfaces, uneven lighting making text unreadable, crooked documents, missing edges, and insufficient resolution. Enhancement addresses lighting and glare issues.

How do I photograph laminated documents without glare?

Angle the document slightly or photograph from above with diffused light. The AI removes remaining glare that obscures text and photos.

Can I submit phone photos of documents?

Yes, if they're clear and legible. Enhanced phone photos meet submission quality requirements when properly lit and sharp.

What resolution do I need?

Most immigration agencies require photos where all text is clearly legible. Enhanced photos maintain full resolution with improved sharpness and contrast.

Should I use a scanner instead?

Scanners produce better results for flat documents. But for IDs, passports, and booklet-form documents, enhanced phone photos work well.
