- 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.
