What the tool does for you
Millimetre-accurate cropping
The official size and resolution are already set. The face is detected and framed automatically: you only fine-tune.
Background replaced automatically
The background is cut out by AI, then replaced with white, light grey, light blue or any colour you choose.
Quality checks
Straight head, open eyes, neutral expression, lighting, sharpness and face height are checked before you print.
Print-ready sheet
Export a PDF or JPG with cutting marks in 10 × 15 cm, 13 × 18 cm or A4.
Online ID photo: the complete guide to avoid getting rejected
A rejected photo at the counter or when submitting an application delays things by weeks. photo-identite.io was built to avoid that: a free, fast tool that applies the official standards, document by document, country by country.
A different format for every document and every country
A French passport, a Belgian ID card, and a Canadian visa don't share the same dimensions, nor the same required background. Our database covers more than 180 countries and around twenty document types, with the official source cited whenever it's publicly available.
From raw photo to print-ready sheet, in a few steps
Choose your country and document, then upload a photo taken with your phone or a camera. The tool detects the face, crops it to the exact required format, and applies a compliant plain background (white, light grey, or blue depending on the document). Quality checks — straight head, open eyes, neutral expression, sharpness — are verified before export.
The result is a print-ready sheet you can print at home or at a photo booth, in 4×6 in, 5×7 in, or A4, with cutting guides.
Free, no sign-up, and your photos stay on your device
No account is needed, and no photo is ever sent to a server: all the processing — face detection, cropping, background replacement — runs directly in your browser. The site is funded by advertising, not by your data.
Frequently asked questions
Is my photo uploaded to a server?
Not for a direct import. If you use the QR code, the photo temporarily passes through a relay server so it can reach your computer, then it is deleted when retrieved or after 10 minutes.
Is it really free?
Yes, with no sign-up and no watermark. The site is funded by ads shown outside the editor.
Can I get an official photo code?
Some countries issue digital photo codes through approved providers only. This tool produces a correctly sized photo to print.
