How it works

Add a photo, pick the document, and the tool finds your face, straightens it, sizes your head to the official rule and, where the rules allow it, replaces the background. The photo check measures head size, eye position and resolution and warns about shadows, closed eyes or a turned head. When everything passes, download the digital file for online forms or the print sheets for a photo counter or home printer.
