Frequently asked
Three things that make any photo pass.
You don’t need a studio — just a phone and a helper. We handle the background, crop, and sizing.
Step back from the camera
Have someone take the photo from about 4–5 feet away, or prop the phone up and use a timer. Close-up selfies distort facial proportions and fail head-size checks.
Face the camera straight on
Head level, shoulders square, neutral expression with your mouth closed and both eyes open. Look directly into the lens, not at the screen.
Find even light
Face a window or stand in bright, indirect light. Avoid overhead lights and strong side light — shadows across the face are a top rejection reason.
Any plain wall works — we replace the background for you.
