Steps

  1. 01

    Take or find your photo

    Any clear photo of your face works. Front-facing, well-lit, no glasses or hats. The background does not matter because it is going to be replaced anyway.

  2. 02

    Open the tool

    Go to /tool. You do not need an account.

  3. 03

    Set the output to White

    Under Output, switch from Transparent to White. This gives you a JPG-style flat white background instead of a PNG with alpha.

  4. 04

    Upload the photo

    Drop the photo in. Processing takes about 20 seconds on average.

  5. 05

    Download and check

    Open the result. The background should be a uniform white with no shadows or edges. If it looks off, try again with a different photo or process it twice.

Tips

  • —A photo taken against a plain wall produces a cleaner cutout than one taken in a busy room.
  • —Avoid photos with heavy shadows on the wall behind you.
  • —If your hair is very fine, the cutout may lose a few strands. For an ID photo, this is fine.
  • —The output is a JPEG or PNG depending on your settings. Most portals accept either.

Common questions

Will this pass the Aadhaar portal check?

The portal checks for a plain background and a face that fills a certain portion of the frame. If your photo meets those criteria after background replacement, it will pass.

What size should the output be?

Aadhaar accepts photos between 20KB and 50KB, usually around 200 by 230 pixels. You can resize the output in the editor after processing.

Is my photo stored anywhere?

No. The photo is processed in memory on the server and deleted immediately after.
