Description: How to configure BlinkID Verify to accept fully cropped document images

# Accept cropped images

By default, Verify rejects fully cropped images—images that show only the document without any background.
Cropping is treated as a form of digital tampering, because a live document presented in a live situation always has physical context around it.

## Using the Verify SDK

If you use the [Verify SDK](./sdk.md), this situation doesn't arise.
The SDK only allows images captured in live conditions and does not permit fully cropped images to be submitted.

## Accepting cropped images

If you control the cropping yourself (for example, you crop images server-side from a known-good capture), you can allow them by setting `captureConditions` to `Hybrid` in the `useCase` object.
This tells Verify that you have control over the capture process and that cropped images should be fully processed and allowed to pass.
