ID Photo Generator — FAQ

An ID-photo concept generator. Upload a selfie, pick the ID type (passport, visa, drivers license, national ID, student card, employee badge, green card) and country, and the AI recomposes you against the spec-correct background with the spec-correct head height and neutral expression. FLUX Kontext Pro premium for identity-locked results, free self-hosted fallback for background swap only.

It is concept art, not a guaranteed accepted document. Spec compliance varies by issuing authority and AI output occasionally drifts on head-height ratios or expression. ALWAYS confirm the official spec before submitting (US Department of State, IND, Schengen, etc.). For US passports the State Department requires an in-person photo at an accredited studio. Treat the AI photo as a preview / concept / online-platform-KYC photo.

Premium FLUX Kontext Pro preserves identity reasonably well — face shape, ethnicity, distinguishing features. The free self-hosted path only swaps the background and is not a true recompose. For mission-critical photos (visa, residency), use the premium model and verify the output looks like you before submitting.

9 country presets: US (2x2 inch), UK + Schengen + Australia + Japan (35x45 mm), Canada (50x70 mm), India (51x51 mm), China (33x48 mm with red background), plus a Generic preset. Each spec drives the prompt with country-specific head-height ratios and background-color rules.

Yes — the Attire dropdown swaps your shirt / blazer to business shirt, smart-casual collared, or formal dark suit. Useful when your selfie was taken in a t-shirt but the ID needs business attire. Premium model only — self-hosted does background swap, not attire changes.

Passport tool is single-spec (US passport). ID Photo is multi-spec (any ID type + any country). Headshot is for LinkedIn / business / portfolio photos with no spec-compliance requirement. Use the right one for your goal.

Premium Kontext Pro will attempt to remove glasses, hats, and exaggerated expressions per the ID spec. Self-hosted fallback will not. For best results, take a fresh selfie matching the spec — neutral expression, no accessories, even lighting.

Persofoto + Passport-Photo.online charge $5-9 per photo and have larger country libraries (~30-100 specs). Free.ai is $0 (free self-hosted) or premium tokens (~45K = ~$0.20 per photo at $5/200K rates) and supports attire swap they do not. CVS / Walgreens booth ($15-20) gives you printed + officially accepted physical photos. We are upstream of all of them — best for the digital preview, KYC platforms, and online IDs.

Yes — most platform KYC accepts anything that looks like a real ID-style photo. Crypto exchanges (Binance, Coinbase), freelancer platforms (Upwork, Fiverr), gig apps (Uber, DoorDash), and dating-app verification all accept these without issue. Verify-spec rigor varies; if a platform rejects, retake with the exact spec they request.

Generating one is legal. Submitting an AI photo where the issuing authority requires an in-person capture (US passport renewal, some Schengen embassies) misrepresents your photo and can result in rejection or delay. For low-stakes uses (online platforms, employee badges, student cards, KYC) AI is fine; for sovereign-document submission, follow the official rules.

Premium Kontext Pro will attempt — child passport photos are the strictest (no smile, no toy, no parents arms in frame). The AI may struggle with very young children. For infants, an in-person photo at a studio is almost always the safest choice.

Yes — POST multipart to /v1/image/edit/ with image file, prompt, tool:"image-id-photo", operation:"edit" (premium) or "remove_bg" (free), and model. Bearer auth, monthly limits. /api/ has the curl example.
