Passport photo online: background, size, and verification
This assistant creates passport photos online from a regular phone snapshot, so there's no need to go to a photo studio. It will replace the background with a solid, uniform color, crop the image so that the face occupies the required part of the frame, adjust the proportions to the format of an internal passport, international passport, visa, or application form, evaluate lighting, shadows, and facial expression, and suggest how to retake the source image if it is not suitable for documents. Before submission, you should check the result against the current requirements of the agency you are applying to. On BotHub, the assistant works without a VPN or foreign card, requests are paid for in rubles from a single balance, and all versions of the shots are saved in the chat history, making them easy to return to.
Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, if the shot is clear enough and the face is captured head-on. The assistant will replace the background, crop the image to the required format, and prepare the shot for documents. Heavily blurred photos, shots with harsh shadows, tilted heads, or partially covered faces cannot be fully corrected: in such cases, the assistant will suggest exactly what needs to be retaken.
It is best to shoot in even daylight by a window, without flash or harsh shadows, holding the camera at eye level. Look directly into the lens, maintain a neutral facial expression with your mouth closed, and remove hair from your face. It is better to remove headwear and glasses with glare beforehand if the document requirements do not allow them.
The assistant is guided by typical requirements for document photos, but the final decision is made by the agency, and rules for different countries and types of documents vary and change over time. Before submission, check the size, background, and proportions against official requirements. Remember that facial features cannot be changed: the shot must correspond to your real appearance.
Requests are paid for in CAPS, BotHub's internal currency, which is deducted from a single balance. The cost depends on the volume of work with the shot: background replacement, cropping, repeated versions, and clarifications in the chat increase the cost. The higher the quality of the source, the fewer edits will be needed and the lower the final cost.
The uploaded shot is processed within your chat and stored in its history so you can return to the result. To avoid sharing unnecessary information, upload only the portrait itself, without passport data, documents, or other people in the frame. You can read more about data storage in the BotHub privacy policy.
