How Vekyo works for a Turkey passport
Upload a recent photo, and Vekyo detects your face, then checks it against the Turkey 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, entirely in your browser. Vekyo only crops, rotates for straightening, and resizes your photo; it never changes your facial features, skin tone, or facial structure, and never generates or beautifies a face. Backgrounds are never automatically replaced — if yours doesn't look plain and evenly lit enough for this document, you'll see a warning instead of a silent pass.
