Tips for a passport-grade photo
- Plain background — white or light grey, no patterns.
- Neutral expression, mouth closed, eyes open, looking straight at camera.
- No hats, no sunglasses, no head tilt.
- Even lighting — no shadows on face or background.
- High resolution — at least 600 × 600 px after cropping.
Use the Background Remover for tricky backgrounds
If your background isn't plain, use the PixlFits Background Remover to strip the existing background, then layer a clean white background underneath.
