How it works

The one face is found, and the person’s outline gives the top of the head. The photo is turned so the eyes are level, then scaled and cropped so the head, chin to crown, sits in the middle of the document’s range, on a photo of its size at 300 or 600 DPI. Built in: the passports of the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada and Australia, or give any document’s sizes. The background is kept unless you replace it. What it sees wrong is listed (a tilted head, a face turned away, a head cut off, too little room, low resolution, a busy background); expression, glasses, shadows and likeness are for you to check.
