Use your real photo — not an AI-generated face. Passport and visa authorities require a genuine, unaltered photograph of you and reject AI-generated portraits. Our free tool below is compliant because it only removes the background and crops your real photo to size — it never synthesizes your face. Still, always verify against the current official spec before submitting.
