Common rejection reasons

Shadows on the background

Furniture or shadows behind you are the top rejection cause. We detect them before you submit.

HEIC from iPhone

Many systems only accept JPEG. iPhone photos are HEIC by default — we convert automatically.

Face too close or too far

Head size must sit in an exact range. We position it precisely, no guessing.
