How Vekyo works for a Poland passport
Upload a recent photo, and Vekyo detects your face, then checks it against the Poland passport specification above — including its not specified in the sources found — use a plain, evenly lit background as a safe default. background requirement — before letting you crop and position it to match. Face detection, quality checks, cropping, and resizing run in your browser by default. Vekyo never changes your facial features, skin tone, or facial structure, and never generates or beautifies a face. If your background doesn't look plain and evenly lit enough for this document, you'll see a warning rather than a silent pass, and you can choose the optional background tool to replace it with a plain color — nothing is replaced unless you ask. The optional high-quality background removal option sends the cropped photo to our server for that one step.
