Take a better photo with the phone you have.
Light, distance and a few small details make all the difference.
Start with soft daylight
Face a window with indirect daylight. Avoid overhead lights and bright sun that leave strong shadows. Use a real plain, light background for document photographs.
Give the camera some space
Ask someone to take the picture at eye level, with enough distance to avoid wide-angle distortion. Include your whole head, shoulders and space around you. Keep the camera steady and use the original image.
Keep your natural appearance
For official photographs, skip portrait filters, beauty mode and AI enhancement. Do not generate new facial features or clothing. Follow your specific document instructions for glasses, expression and head coverings.
Choose the right journey
Use document tools for sizing an original photograph. Choose professional headshots for AI-created work and profile portraits. They serve different purposes.
