ID Photo Maker for Printing at Home

Pick a photo, choose the size, move it in the frame and get a PDF with as many copies as fit on A4, Letter, 4x6 or 5x7 paper. The photo stays on your device. The tool does not check whether a photo meets official rules.

photo sizes, 25 x 35 to 50 x 70 mm: 7
35 x 45 mm photos on one A4 sheet: 30
2 x 2 in photos on 4 x 6 in paper: 2
photo quality in the PDF: 300 dpi

How It Works

Choose a photo
A front-facing photo against a plain light wall, taken by someone else from a few steps away. JPEG, PNG or WebP.
Fit the head
Choose the size, then drag the photo and use Zoom. Where the official head size is known, keep the head between the two ovals.
Print at 100 percent
Create the PDF and print it at Actual size on photo paper. Measure one photo with a ruler before you cut.

India is not listed: its official pages give different sizes. Rules change, so open the source before you print.

What the Guides Mean

The vertical line marks the middle of the photo. For the 2 x 2 in and 33 x 48 mm sizes, two ovals show the smallest and largest head height the official rules allow, from the chin to the top of the head. Keep the head between them. For other sizes the head rules differ by country, so there are no ovals.

The tool does not remove the background, fix the lighting or look at the face. It crops and repeats the photo exactly as you set it, at 300 dots per inch.

Questions

Is my photo uploaded

No. The photo is cropped and placed by your browser, and the PDF is made on your device.

What paper should I use

Photo paper. The U.S. accepts matte or glossy photo-quality paper; China visa photos must be on glossy photo paper.

Why is my printed photo the wrong size

The print dialog scaled the page. Print at 100 percent, also called Actual size, and turn off Fit to page.

Can I take the photo myself

Ask someone to take it from a few steps away with the camera at eye level. A selfie at arm's length is usually too close. Some offices require a photographer: see the table above.
