FAQ
Does CleanCut AI guarantee official passport compliance?

Can I choose a specific background color?
Yes. Export the transparent PNG and place it over the exact background color in your editor.
What improves portrait results?
Good lighting, sharp focus, and a clean separation between subject and background usually produces cleaner edges.
