Frequently Asked Questions

Does my photo leave my device?

No. Background removal runs in your browser. Your selfie is never uploaded to a server. The only network request is the one-time download of the segmentation model.

Will the US State Department accept photos from this tool?

Since January 2026 the US State Department rejects photos with AI-edited facial features. This tool only segments the background — it does not retouch your face, skin, or eyes. For a US passport you should still verify acceptance against the official guidelines, since automated AI background changes are a grey area. The dimensions, file size, and head-height percentage we output match the official spec.

Which documents are supported?

17 presets — US Passport, US Driver's License, Canada, Brazil, Mexico, UK, EU/Schengen, Germany, India Passport, India Aadhaar, China, Japan, South Korea, Australia, Student ID, Employee Badge, and LinkedIn / square profile.

Why is the first run a bit slower?

The portrait-matting model (~6 MB, MODNet INT8 quantized) downloads on first use and is cached by your browser. On a 4G connection this takes 1-2 seconds. After that, subsequent photos process in under 3 seconds on most phones, faster with WebGPU.

My phone camera does not open. What do I do?

Camera access requires HTTPS and explicit browser permission. If you blocked it earlier, look for the camera icon in your address bar and re-enable. As a fallback, tap "or select a photo" to use any photo from your gallery — the rest of the flow is the same.

What backgrounds are available?

White (default for most passports), off-white, light gray (UK and several EU), and light blue (some employee badges). The original background is replaced with the solid color you pick after the AI cutout.
