Passport-style image cleanup is usually about reducing distractions and producing a plain background result. This guide covers the workflow and the limits so users do not mistake background cleanup for full official compliance.
Use the tool for cleanup, not legal guarantees
Background cleanup can help the image look more consistent, but official acceptance depends on many other photo rules beyond the background alone.
Aim for simplicity
Neutral lighting, clean framing, and a plain white replacement usually produce the easiest result to review and reuse.
