verify-id ## Sections • [Face Liveness API](https://app.theneo.io/argosidentity/verify-id/face-liveness/face-liveness-api.md): The Face Liveness API provides users with a method to verify the authenticity of a face during identity verification by analyzing the image for signs of liveliness. This API helps detect whether the image is from a real person or a static photo, preventing spoofing attempts and ensuring secure identity verification. By utilizing advanced algorithms, the API assesses various factors in the face image to determine if it was captured from a live subject, offering an additional layer of security in identity verification processes. • [Best Practices for Image](https://app.theneo.io/argosidentity/verify-id/face-liveness/best-practices-for-image.md): To ensure optimal performance and accuracy, the following image file guidelines must be followed for identity verification processing Supported File Formats : PNG File Size Limit : Recommended file size: under 2MB Resolution : Minimum Full HD (FHD) or 1080p: 1920x1080 pixels. * Images with a resolution lower than 640x480 pixels cannot be processed. • [Minimum Requirements for Face Photo Submission](https://app.theneo.io/argosidentity/verify-id/face-liveness/best-practices-for-image-copy-1.md): To ensure successful liveness verification, all submitted photos must meet the following minimum requirements. Failure to meet any of these criteria may result in rejection or fail. Image Formats, Compression, and Resolution Constrations Accepted formats : JPG, JPEG, PNG, BMP Compression (JPEG) : Minimum JPEG-70 supported. Higher quality (e.g. JPEG-90, JPEG-100) is recommended. PNG (lossless) is preferred. Minimum resolution : 800 x 600(SVGA) Face must be centered and occupy at least 25% of the total image area File size Limitation : Maximum 5MB Image Content Constraints 1. Face Area Only one visible face allowed Face must be fully visible — no cropping at top, sides, or chin Minimum face box size: 150 x 150 pixels Minimum pupil-to-pupil distance (distance between eyes): 50 pixels or more Padding between face and image borders: at least 15 pixels No occlusions (e.g. hair, hand, mask, accessories) No background faces or partial faces in the image 2. Face Orientation Frontal face required Pitch / yaw angle must be within ±30 degrees No extreme tilt or side-view Eyes, nose, and mouth must be symmetrically aligned Conditions That May Cause Failure Motion blur Filtered images (e.g. texture smoothing, beautify filters) Strong light reflections or glare on the face Low light or colored lighting conditions Wide-angle or fish-eye lens distortion Sunglasses or heavily tinted glasses
