TL;DR: Free ID photo background changer: AI portrait cutout, one-tap official background colors, photos processed locally.
For local tools, open DevTools → Network and search your input — it should not appear in requests.
Usage Guide
Job applications, registrations, visas — changing an ID photo background is a constant need, yet most tools upload your photo to a server. This one runs an open-source AI model (MediaPipe portrait segmentation) locally in your browser: the photo never uploads. Sensitive photos were never meant to be sent anywhere.
1. Change the background in three steps
- Upload a front-facing half-body portrait (simpler background = steadier cutout; convert HEIC to JPG first if needed).
- Pick an official background color (white/light blue/blue/dark blue/red/gray, hover for usage), or any custom color.
- Click Change background; the AI cuts out the person onto a hard-edge solid color. Preview and download PNG; use the resizer next when you need exact pixels.
2. First run loads the model
The first process downloads ~10MB of runtime and model (cached afterwards). Nothing about your photo touches the network: once loaded, inference runs on your local CPU, and you can verify in DevTools Network that no photo data is ever sent.
3. Tuning and limits
- Hard-edge output: this build composites onto a solid color with a hard edge (what most ID reviewers want — no soft feather halo).
- Portrait-tuned: ID photos and half-body shots are steadier; full-body, complex poses or backlight degrade results.
- Simple backgrounds win: a plain wall beats parameter tuning — if results disappoint, reshoot against one.
FAQ
A front-facing half-body portrait on a simple — ideally solid — background. Clothes blending into the background and glare on glasses noticeably hurt segmentation. People only: it does not cut out objects or landscapes.
Common Chinese conventions: white or light blue for ID cards, passports, and driving licenses; dark blue for diplomas; red for marriage certificates; white for most visas. Presets cover these, plus any custom color.
Output is a hard-edge solid backdrop, which is what ID reviewers expect. On busy backgrounds or wispy hair, reshooting against a plain wall usually beats parameter tuning; convert HEIC to JPG first if needed. Backlight and extreme poses are the model's weak spots.
Open the export in the real destination — a printer, an office app, an upload page — and inspect the hair edges instead of trusting the on-page preview. Then pass it to the resizer or the A4 print-layout tool, keeping a rollback master at every step.
The segmentation model runs in your browser via WebAssembly, so the portrait never touches a server — exactly why sensitive ID photos belong in a local pipeline.
