Change Background: what to know

Many visa-photo rules call for a plain, light background. Adjusting or replacing the background can help when your source photo has a busy one.

Plain and consistent

A busy background — furniture, shadows, other people, strong patterns — is a common reason a photo may not pass automated checks.

If a background tool is used, it should produce an even, untextured colour with clean edges around the head and shoulders.

Requirements can vary by embassy, consulate, nationality, application location, or visa route. Check the official instructions before applying.
