- Will the photo be accepted?
- The size, head height and positioning follow the official specifications for each preset. Acceptance also depends on things no tool can fix: lighting, expression, shadows, glasses and a plain background. Check the rules of the authority you apply to; this tool gives you the correct geometry, not a guarantee.
- Where do the head measurements come from?
- From the published rules: for example Germany asks for a face height of 32-36 mm on a 35x45 mm photo, the Netherlands 26-30 mm from chin to crown, the US a head of 1 to 1 3/8 inches on a 2x2 inch photo. The preset aims for the middle of each range.
- How does the background replacement work?
- A small segmentation model (U2Net-p, Apache 2.0) separates the person from the background on your device and the background is filled with a uniform colour. It works best when the original background is already fairly plain; hair edges may need a retake on busy backgrounds.
- How do I print it?
- Download the 10x15 cm sheet and order it as a normal 10x15 print at a drugstore or photo counter; it holds several photos at exactly the right size. Cut along the thin grey lines.
- Is the picture uploaded anywhere?
- No. Face detection (YuNet, Apache 2.0) and everything else run inside your browser; the picture never leaves your device.
