Select transparent, white, or any custom colour. For passport, Aadhaar, and PAN photos always choose white. Use the colour picker for any other colour.
Download as PNG (with transparency preserved) or JPG/WebP with your chosen background colour. No watermark, no registration, completely free.
Different Indian documents require different background colours. Here is the complete reference so you choose the correct one:
| Document | Required Background | Colour Code | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Indian Passport | Plain white | #ffffff | No off-white, no cream. Pure white only. |
| Aadhaar Card | Plain white | #ffffff | UIDAI strict on pure white background. |
| PAN Card (NSDL/UTIITSL) | Plain white | #ffffff | Both portals require white only. |
| Govt Exam (UPSC/SSC/IBPS) | Plain white | #ffffff | All major exam portals require white. |
| US Visa | White / off-white | #ffffff or #f5f5f0 | US State Dept accepts white or off-white. |
| UK Visa / Passport | Light grey | #d4d0cb approx. | UK requires light grey, not white. |
| Schengen Visa | White / light grey | #ffffff | Most Schengen countries accept white. |
| LinkedIn / Resume | White preferred | Any neutral | White or very light grey looks most professional. |
This tool uses the remove.bg API, which uses a deep learning model trained on millions of images. The AI identifies the main subject (person, product, or object) and separates it from the background with pixel-level accuracy. The result is a transparent PNG where only the background pixels have been removed, preserving every detail of the subject including hair strands and fine edges.
Even if your background appears white, it may not be pure white (#ffffff). Home walls are often slightly off-white, cream, or have a warm or cool tint that photographs as a near-white colour. Most government portals use automated colour checks and will reject backgrounds that are not exactly white. Using this tool guarantees a pure white background regardless of what colour your original background was.
The remove.bg API is optimised for single-subject images. It works best with one clear subject in the foreground. For group photos, the results may be inconsistent — some people may be partially removed. For passport and document photos, always use a single-person photo taken from the front.
PNG with transparent background preserves the see-through background — useful for design work, overlays, or when you want to use the image on different backgrounds later. JPG with white background fills the transparent areas with white and saves as a standard JPEG — this is what you need for government document photos, exam portals, and any official upload that requires a white background JPEG.
After downloading the white-background JPG, go to our Passport Photo Generator for passport/visa photos, Aadhaar Photo tool for Aadhaar, or Exam Photo Generator for exam applications. Upload the white-background photo to the relevant tool and it will crop to the exact official dimensions automatically.
This tool is designed for photographs with a foreground subject (person or object). It does not work well on flat scanned documents or ID cards where there is no clear foreground subject to isolate. For scanned documents, a simple image editor is more suitable.
The background removal uses the remove.bg API, which limits free accounts to 50 removals per month. This limit resets on the 1st of each month. For most individuals — making a passport photo, an Aadhaar photo, or a few document photos — 50 removals per month is far more than enough. The limit is per site, shared across all users.
No — Indian passport photos specifically require a plain white background as per MEA guidelines. Light blue backgrounds are required for some foreign visas like Canada, but not for Indian passports. Always check the official requirements for the specific document you are applying for. Use our Passport Photo Requirements guide for country-specific background colour rules.
Once your background is removed and set to white, use these tools to complete your document photo:
