How to Change Background of Exam Photo to White

90% of exam rejections happen because of "Bad Background". If your photo has a colored wall, patterns, or shadows behind you, it will be rejected by systems like NEET, JEE, and Passport Seva. Here is how to fix it in 2026.

Why White?
  • High contrast for facial recognition.
  • Standard for international travel (Passport).
  • Required by AI grading bots for exams.

Top 3 Ways to Get a White Background

1. The "White Sheet" Method (Free & Best)

Find a white wall in your house. If you don't have one, hang a clean, ironed white bedsheet. Stand 2 feet away from it (to avoid shadows) and face a window for natural light. This produces the most natural result.

2. Use our AI Tool

We now have a dedicated tool to remove background from any photo and replace it with a clean white canvas. It handles hair strands perfectly and ensures professional quality.

3. Avoid Post-Editing if Possible

While tools are great, a natural photo is always safer. Heavy editing can make the photo look "manipulated", which is technically against NTA rules. Use tools only if you cannot click a new picture.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is a light blue background accepted?
For JEE/NEET, NTA prefers white. Light blue is standard for some State PSCs, but white is universally accepted.
Can I use a selfie?
No. Selfies distort facial features. Use the back camera and ask a friend to click.
