Forms rarely accept a cluttered selfie background. Whether the PDF asks for white, sky blue, light blue, or a light colour, the reliable prep path is: cut out the subject → fill the required color → crop → resize → compress. Imgician does the cutout and color fill in your browser so ID and exam photos stay private.

Color picker tips
- Preset sky blue ≈
#87CEEB; light blue ≈#ADD8E6; light grey ≈#F5F5F5. - If a PDF shows a chip, match it in Color fill — don’t approximate from memory.
- Clothes similar to the fill color cause edge artifacts; change outfit or fill shade when possible.
- Better quality model helps hair and glasses frames.
What Imgician does not guarantee
- Official passport/visa biometric approval
- Exact “studio paper” texture
- Automatic KB + cm compliance in one click (you still resize and compress)
Use official notifications as the source of truth.

FAQ
Can one tool do background + passport size together?
Not in a single cast today. Cutout first, then resize — two quick steps, still private.
White clothes on white background?
Risky. Prefer a contrasting fill (light blue) only if the form allows it, or wear a darker top when you shoot.
Is this free?
Yes for everyday prep — no signup required.
