15+ biometric checks to the ICAO 9303 standard
Your photo is verified line by line against ICAO 9303, the international standard for passport and ID photos. Face ratio, eye level, head pose and background uniformity are each scored individually — the results screen shows exactly which criteria passed and which need fixing, greatly increasing the chance your application is accepted on the first try.

GPU-speed AI
Local models running on our own GPU server check head pose, expression and sharpness in seconds. No cloud queue, no waiting in line.
Fixes flaws automatically
Upscales resolution, straightens a tilted head, balances shadows and swaps the background to the color your document requires. It never touches facial features — no retouching, only the technical corrections official standards allow.
Download it, or let us print & ship it
Your photo comes out at 300 DPI as a PNG/PDF auto-arranged on a 10×15 cm sheet. Or let us print it in studio quality and deliver it to your address by cargo or courier.
Your data stays yours — GDPR
Your photo never gets a public URL; it lives on a private disk, is never shared with third parties, and is deleted on request. GDPR compliant for EU visitors.
Passport, Driver License & Visa Photo Sizes (2026)
The most common biometric ID photo dimensions used in Türkiye and worldwide, with pixel equivalents and background requirements. Click a document to start with the right size.
Every document image is a SPECIMEN: the names, numbers and dates on them are fictional, they are not valid documents and cannot be used in any official procedure.
General Photo Rules
Correct
Incorrect
Common rules most institutions expect for official ID and biometric photos — one correct example and common mistakes:
Glasses may only be worn on documents where allowed; lenses must show no glare or reflections.
The background must be plain, light-colored, and simple with no clutter.
Keep a straight face and a neutral expression; smiling is not allowed.
Keep the camera at face level; do not shoot from below or from above.
Keep your head upright and facing the camera; tilting is not allowed.
No hats or head coverings except for religious reasons; keep the head clear.
The photo must be evenly lit with enough light; avoid harsh face shadows.
Large earrings and necklaces distract from the face; keep accessories simple.

Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you might want to know about biometric passport photos, ICAO standards and printing.
How does vesikalik.com.tr work?
Choose the size for your document type, then upload a photo or take one with your browser camera. Our AI checks biometric rules (sharpness, pose, expression, lighting, background); if the photo passes, it removes the background and produces a print-ready ID photo in your selected aspect ratio. You can download the digital file or order a 10×15 print sheet for delivery — no account required.
What photo formats are supported?
You can upload JPG or PNG, or capture with your browser camera. Photos with a short side of at least 480 pixels are accepted; 720 pixels or more give sharper results. For low resolution or slight head tilt the system may try an automatic fix — just review the preview.
How should I take my photo?
Face the camera, keep a neutral expression, eyes open, and do not smile. Use even natural light and avoid harsh side shadows. A plain (preferably light) background is enough — the model cleans complex backdrops. A headscarf is fine if the whole face is visible; do not wear dark sunglasses.
Where does the AI run?
All face analysis, background removal and ID-photo generation run on our own local AI server; your photo is never sent to a third-party cloud. MediaPipe face landmarks, the BiRefNet background model and optional super-resolution enhancement all run in the same secure environment.
Are my photos stored?
Your photo is not sent to third parties; processing stays on our servers. The browser only receives a watermarked preview. The clean ID photo is kept on a private disk and can be downloaded from your account after payment. Access is limited to you and authorised admins; anonymous technical metrics (duration, model) are logged. See the Privacy Policy for details; you may request deletion under applicable data-protection law.
Is retouching or Photoshop allowed on a biometric photo?
For a biometric ID photo only technical improvements are applied: background cleanup, cropping, light and shadow balancing and, when needed, super-resolution or rotation. Retouches that change facial features (slimming the nose, shortening the chin, removing natural moles or scars, skin filters) are never applied — they can get the photo rejected. Our pipeline is designed for biometric compliance, not beautification.
Can I use it for free?
Yes. Biometric compliance analysis and the watermarked preview are free (fair use and a per-minute request limit apply). Downloading the clean digital file and ordering a 10×15 print sheet are paid; prices in the order wizard include VAT. No account is required — you can complete the order as a guest.
Should I remove glasses for the photo?
For Turkish ID cards, passports and most visa applications glasses should be removed; lens glare, tinted lenses or thick frames can cause rejection. Our analysis flags glare, dark lenses and thick frames as warnings. Prescription glasses without glare may be allowed for driving licences in some cases, but shooting without glasses is safest.

Started a new job and they wanted a badge photo the same day. Shot it at home, uploaded it, card was ready by evening.
I run HR for a 40-person office in Istanbul. We prepared every staff badge photo here — same background, same crop, zero rejections from the card printer.
I had a French ID photo on a light blue background and assumed it would work for the visa file. This page explained why the visa follows the EU/ICAO norm instead. Reshot on light grey, accepted.

Preparing the AI version
We are busier than usual right now; this may take a little longer. Please wait.
Compare the two versions and pick one. In the AI version the clothing and background are regenerated; your face stays the same.
This photo can’t be used
A face couldn’t be detected clearly, or the photo doesn’t meet the requirements. Review the analysis below and upload a new photo.
Only technical corrections were applied to your photo (light, background, geometry) — your facial features were not touched. Please review the result in the preview.
Your photo is ready. Continue to choose your package.
Your photo is not suitable for a standard biometric photo, but you can use the AI-generated version.
The AI version was created too, but it does not meet the requirements either: the AI rebuilds clothing and background, it cannot change the lighting on your face. Please take a new photo in more even light.
This photo isn’t suitable for the AI version either: the AI rebuilds clothing, background and framing, but it cannot change the lighting on your face, your head angle or your expression. You need to take a new photo.
