# Image Requirements

## Requirements for Images

Below are the requirements for size and quality of document images captured by any device, which are necessary for successful image processing by OkayID Lite:

* Document should be fully inside the image;
* Document should take 70 - 80% of the image area;
* Document should not be stuck to image edges;
* Image should be in focus in the document area;
* There should be no glares or significant shadow on the document;
* The background should be as contrast as possible, avoid capturing white on white, and dark on dark;
* Good lighting helps to achieve better results. If the image is too dark or too bright, the document can not be processed.
* **Image Resolution:**
  * **Maximum: 3000 x 1500**
  * **Minimum: 1343 x 847 (Cropped ID Image);**
* Max File Size: 3MB

Having the image not meeting the requirements will reduce the accuracy of the OkayID Lite.

## Image Quality Requirements

Below are the requirements for size and quality of document images captured by any device, which are necessary for successful image processing by OkayID Lite:

* **Good lighting**

  Good lighting helps to achieve better results. If the image is too dark or too bright, the document can not be processed.

* **Avoid reflections**

  Glares and reflections interfere with processing and reduce data extraction accuracy. We recommend **not to use** the flash of your mobile device when capturing document images.

* **Contrast**

  The document should be in clear contrast to the background. A light-colored document on a light background, as well as a dark-colored document on a dark background, cannot be recognized.

* **Resolution of the image**

  To achieve a good quality of recognition of identification documents, we recommend that you provide images captured by a camera with a resolution of at least Full HD (1920×1080) and autofocus.
