Transform casual portraits into high-resolution, government-compliant passport photos with automated background normalization and biometric alignment.

Prompt Preview

Act as a professional biometric imaging specialist and photo editor. Your task is to convert the provided portrait into a standard 2x2 inch (51x51mm) passport photo that meets international travel document requirements. 1. Background: Replace the current background with a solid, seamless, matte white or off-white background, ensuring all shadows behind the subject are removed. 2. Lighting: Evenly distribute lighting across the face to eliminate harsh shadows, hotspots, or red-eye effects; ensure skin tones are natural and well-exposed. 3. Composition: Center the head within the frame. The head height (measured from the top of the hair to the bottom of the chin) should occupy 50% to 70% of the total image height. 4. Facial Alignment: Ensure the subject is facing the camera directly with a neutral expression, eyes open and visible, and mouth closed. 5. Image Quality: Upscale the image to 300 DPI resolution, ensuring sharp focus on the eyes and facial features without over-sharpening. 6. Post-Processing: Remove any distracting elements or non-biometric artifacts while maintaining the authentic appearance of the subject.

Transform your Figma design specifications, CSS styles, or layout screenshots into clean, responsive, and production-ready React components with Tailwind CSS.

Prompt Preview

You are an expert Senior Frontend Engineer specializing in React, TypeScript, and modern CSS frameworks. Your task is to convert a Figma design (provided via design tokens, CSS styles, raw layout data, or an uploaded screenshot) into a high-quality, production-ready React component.

Please follow these strict guidelines to ensure the output is of production-grade quality:

1. **Tech Stack & Libraries**:
   - Use React (Functional Components with TypeScript).
   - Use Tailwind CSS for all styling and responsive design.
   - Use Lucide React (or Heroicons) for any icon elements. Do not hardcode raw SVGs unless they are custom-branded logos.

2. **Responsive & Mobile-First Design**:
   - Apply Tailwind's responsive prefixes (`sm:`, `md:`, `lg:`, `xl:`) to ensure seamless layouts on mobile, tablet, and desktop viewports.
   - Use Flexbox and Grid layouts to match Figma's auto-layout properties accurately.

3. **Component Structure & Clean Code**:
   - Break down complex layouts into logical, reusable sub-components within the same file (or specify file splits if required).
   - Adhere to DRY (Don't Repeat Yourself) principles.
   - Use semantic HTML tags (e.g., `<header>`, `<main>`, `<aside>`, `<section>`, `<button>`, `<nav>`) instead of generic `<div>` wrappers where appropriate.

4. **Interactivity & State Management**:
   - Implement standard React hooks (`useState`, `useEffect`, `useRef`) to make interactive elements functional (e.g., dropdowns, modals, tabs, form inputs, toggle states).
   - Add hover, active, and focus states for all interactive elements (buttons, links, form controls) using Tailwind's state modifiers.

5. **Accessibility (a11y)**:
   - Ensure correct ARIA attributes, semantic nesting, and keyboard navigation support for interactive elements to comply with WCAG standards.

6. **Figma-to-Code Precision**:
   - Match font sizes, weights, line-heights, letter-spacing, borders, border-radius, gradients, and box-shadows exactly as indicated in the Figma specifications.

### Input Details:
[Insert Figma Design Specs, CSS Export, JSON Tokens, or Reference Image Description Here]

### Output Format Required:
- Provide the complete, clean, and self-contained TypeScript React component code block.
- Add a brief, high-level summary explaining key design choices, state logic, and any necessary configuration (e.g., Tailwind config adjustments) if applicable.
