Step-by-Step Photo Wizard

1

Upload Document / Image

Begin by selecting your destination country specification (such as United States 2x2 inch, United Kingdom / Schengen EU 35x45mm, India Passport / Visa, or custom aspect ratio). Next, drag and drop a clear, front-facing portrait photograph into the uploader zone. Ensure your photo is taken in a well-lit room with daylight, looking straight into the camera lens with a neutral expression and no head tilt.

2

Crop & Face Alignment

Use the interactive visual crop guidelines to align your facial features precisely according to government standards. Position your eyes along the horizontal eye-line marker and adjust the crown-to-chin height so that your face occupies between 50% to 70% of the overall frame vertical space. The intuitive drag-and-zoom controls allow you to scale and center your head effortlessly to meet official passport regulations.

3

AI Background Removal

Once cropped, our serverless AI segmentation engine analyzes your photo, separating subject foreground pixels from background textures in under 3 seconds. The neural net accurately detects fine edge details—including hair strands, clothing shoulders, and ear contours—completely eliminating messy backdrops, room shadows, or wall discoloration without requiring manual erasing brush work.

4

Background Color & Stroke Editing

Choose an officially accepted backdrop fill color from government presets: Pure White (US, EU, UK, Canada), Off-White / Light Grey (UK, Schengen, Germany), or Passport Blue (India, Malaysia). You can also use the custom HEX color picker for specialized ID cards. Optionally, apply a fine border stroke outline (1px to 3px width) to define image boundaries for clean scissor-cutting when printed.

5

The Print Sheet Generator includes a complete suite of professional layout tools: Paper Size Presets (A4, 4x6" / 10x15cm photo paper, Letter, 5x7", 8x10", or custom mm/inch dimensions), Photo Quantity Selector (auto-fill maximum grid capacity or specify exact photo count), Margin & Spacing Controls (adjust vertical/horizontal paper margins and inter-photo spacing gap in mm for clean scissor cutting), Photo Rotation (0° vs 90° orientation to fit more photos per page), Touch/Pinch Zoom Preview, and Multi-Format Export Options (print-ready PDF, high-res JPEG, or lossy/lossless PNG at 300 DPI or 600 DPI resolution).
