How to read the comparison
Both views come from the same source portrait. The original-background view is aligned to the prepared result so you can compare the face at the same scale. Start with the hair and shoulders, where the background meets the subject, then look closely at the eyes and skin detail.
The source is a fictional portrait used for this demonstration, not a customer submission. The prepared image is an actual saved Merodim output; it has not been approved by an issuing authority.
The crop and background changed
This processing run reframed the portrait and replaced the room background with white. Look at the face as well as the cutout. A cleaner background should not come at the expense of natural facial detail.
Background replacement is optional and is not permitted for every document. This example shows what the tool does, rather than recommending replacement for every application.
What the measurements show
The saved output is 744 × 744 pixels. Its report records 16 internal checks, all passing for this sample, with no added padding. It estimates head height at 56.25% of the image and eye position at 59.64% measured from the bottom.
Those figures describe this processing run. They are not universal photo specifications or evidence of accuracy across all faces and lighting conditions. The images on this page are smaller display copies, not files intended for an application.
What to look for in your own preview
Compare your result with the original. Look for missing hair, softened facial detail or a crop that places your face too close to an edge. Then compare the framing and background with your document’s instructions.
Keep the original even if you choose another version. Blur, glare, a shadow across the face or an obscured eye usually calls for a better capture; replacing the background will not resolve those problems.
