Most passport and visa guidelines ask for a photo taken against a plain white or light-coloured background with even lighting and no shadows. If your photo has a busy wall or a shadow behind you, Kavij removes the original background and lets you replace it with a uniform white or light-grey backdrop that satisfies the requirement. Download it and drop it into your application.
Because everything runs on our own server and nothing is stored after your download, your ID photo — a sensitive document — is never handed to a third-party service.
Keep the subject accurate
Official photos must show your face clearly and without alteration. Kavij only replaces what's behind you; it doesn't retouch, reshape, or filter your face. If the automatic cut leaves a stray edge near your hair or shoulders, the eraser and restore brushes let you correct it precisely so the outline stays clean and natural.
A note on official requirements
Photo rules vary by country and document type — some specify an exact background shade, head size, or dimensions. Kavij gives you a clean, correctly-backed image, but always check your specific authority's guidelines for size and framing before you submit.
Frequently asked questions
How do I put a passport photo on a white background?
Upload your photo, let Kavij remove the existing background, choose white as the new background, and download. Check your country's exact requirements for shade and dimensions before submitting.
Is it safe to upload an ID photo?
Your photo is processed on Kavij's own server, in memory, and is never sent to a third party or stored after your download. The project is open source, so that behaviour can be verified.
Does it change my face?
No. Kavij only replaces the background. It doesn't retouch, reshape, or filter your face, which matters for official photos.
