- Move the photo until the eyes sit on the guide line and the head fills 64–76%
- Save the 35 × 45 mm result — print it or attach it to the application

What cropping will not fix
- A wrong background — cropping does not repaint the wall behind you. This document needs: plain neutral
- A shadow on the face or on the wall. Step 1–2 m away from the wall and shoot facing a window.
- Glare on the lenses. Take the glasses off or turn away from the light source and shoot again.
- A smile, raised brows or a half-open mouth. Cropping keeps the face it was given.
- Too few pixels. If the original is smaller than 413 × 531 px, enlarging it only blurs the face.
