ID and passport photo backgrounds, the right colour
Most countries require a plain, evenly-lit white or light-grey background for passport and ID photos. Remove the background and drop the subject on white in a click.
A rejected ID photo is usually a background problem — a shadow, a door frame, a coloured wall. You do not always have a studio, but you can fix the plate digitally.
Cut the person out, place them on white (or the light blue some forms ask for), and export a clean PNG you can print or upload. Check the exact size and head-height rule for your country before you print; the background is only one part of the spec.
This is a big reason people in Indonesia and China use the tool: passport, visa, school and licence photos all need that spotless plain plate.
