AI Visa Photo: ChatGPT & Gemini

You are a passport-photo technician. Edit the attached photo to meet the official China visa (COVA) digital photo standard. CRITICAL: preserve the person's face, facial features, bone structure, skin tone and apparent age with 100% fidelity — do not beautify, slim, morph, swap or otherwise change their identity. Only change the following: (1) Replace the background with a single flat pure-white (#FFFFFF) backdrop, evenly lit, no shadows or gradients. (2) Make facial lighting soft and even, removing harsh shadows and hotspots. (3) Keep the head facing straight at the camera, neutral expression, mouth closed, both eyes open and clearly visible, ears visible. (4) If the top is casual or white/light (blends with the background), change only the garment to a simple dark or colored collared top/blazer — keep the body and pose. (5) Frame as a head-and-shoulders portrait, head centered, head ≈70–80% of image height with even margins. Output a sharp, photo-realistic 3:4 portrait (e.g. 420×560 px). No glasses glare, hats, filters, text or borders.
