Frequently Asked Questions
How does the background removal work?
A portrait-grade AI segmentation model (ISNet, the same architecture family as BRIA RMBG) runs entirely in your browser via WebAssembly and WebGPU. It detects the person โ including fine detail like hair strands and glasses edges โ and replaces everything else with the required background color. No photo is ever uploaded to a server; you can verify this in your browser DevTools Network tab.
Is it really free? No watermark?
Yes, completely free. No watermark, no registration, no credit card. The downloaded file is a clean JPG at the correct passport photo dimensions.
What background color do I need?
Most countries require white or off-white. Finland requires light grey. Indonesia requires red. Select your country and the tool applies the right color automatically.
Will the photo be accepted by the government?
The tool produces technically correct photos (right size, right background). Acceptance depends on photo quality - good lighting, neutral expression, eyes open. The AI background replacement works best on photos taken with decent lighting.
What if my photo has a complex background?
The AI handles most common backgrounds well - plain walls, indoor lighting, simple outdoor shots. For very complex backgrounds (crowds, dense patterns), results may vary. In that case, retaking the photo in front of a plain wall gives the best result.
