Tips for Getting the Right Size

  • Use idpic.app to automatically crop and resize your photo to the exact required dimensions — no manual calculation needed.
  • Keep your face centred in the frame with your head fully visible from crown to chin.
  • When printing, ensure you print at 100% scale (not "fit to page") to preserve the correct dimensions.
  • Your face should fill the correct proportion of the photo. idpic.app shows a face guide overlay to help you position correctly.
