Most passport and visa applications require a photo with a plain white or light-colored background. But getting the right background in a photo is hard:
- Your wall has busy patterns or texture
- The lighting creates shadows behind you
- You are using an old photo that does not meet current requirements
- You do not have access to a photo studio
The good news: if you have a photo of yourself, you can remove the original background and replace it with a clean one — for free, in your browser.
