Portrait photos stay on this device. A local model may download on first use.

Pixlery is not a government or official ID service. Output is for convenience only and is not guaranteed to pass any review. Always confirm the latest requirements with your issuing authority.

How will you submit this photo?

Choose the real submission path. A digital profile may create an upload file or check an original; a paper profile prepares a print photo.

Background choice

UK guidance does not accept digitally enhanced or manipulated photos and notes that home prints are often unsuitable. Use professional photo printing and review the result.

Questions

Is background removal required?

No. It is unavailable in the digital-original path and optional in the print editor.

Does this page cover the UK online application?

Yes. It checks the official minimum dimensions and file-size range without pre-cropping or re-encoding the original.

Should I print at home?

Official guidance says home prints are often not clear enough; professional photo printing is safer.
