It is perfect for passport and visa photos, CVs, ID cards and profile pictures.
👉 Need an exact passport or visa size too? Open the Passport Size Photo Maker – it removes the background and crops to any country size.
How to remove a photo background
- Tap Upload a photo and choose a clear picture of a person.
- Wait a few seconds while the background is removed automatically.
- Pick a new background: transparent, white, off-white, light grey, blue, red or a custom colour.
- Use Edge softness to make hair and shoulders look natural.
- Download a PNG (keeps transparency) or a JPG (smaller file with a solid colour).
Which background colour should I choose?
| Use | Recommended background |
|---|---|
| Most passports and visas (US, India, China, Saudi Arabia, UAE, Malaysia) | White |
| UK passport, Germany, New Zealand | Light grey or cream |
| Job applications and CVs | White or light blue |
| Some ID cards and school forms | Blue or red, as stated on the form |

Tips for the best result
- Use a sharp photo where the person is clearly separated from the background.
- Avoid backgrounds with the same colour as the hair or clothes.
- Good, even lighting gives cleaner edges around hair.
- For passport photos, crop to the exact size with the passport photo maker – it includes the same background tool.
