ID card front & back
on one page

How to put both sides of an ID card on one page

1. Take a photo of the front and the back of the card, filling as much of the frame as you can.
2. Choose both photos or drop them on the page, front first and then back. If they’re the wrong way round, swap them with the up and down arrows.
3. Optional: press Adjust corners on each photo and drag the four dots onto the card’s corners. A magnifier helps you place each dot exactly.
4. Pick the output, card size and labels in the settings panel.
5. Press Make page, then Download.

Straightening and cropping

When you set the corners, the card is straightened, so a card photographed at an angle comes out flat and rectangular, in true card proportions.

If you skip the corners, each photo is cropped from the center to the card’s shape. That works when the card fills most of the photo; otherwise some background will show, or the card’s edges may be cut off.

What the settings do

The front sits on top and the back below, centered, with rounded corners and a thin gray outline. Vertical cards are placed upright.

Real size suits printed copies that should look like a photocopy of the card. Large is easier to read on screen and helps when an office asks for a clear, readable copy.

• Save as: PDF (A4) or JPG (A4). Both are a full A4 page at 300 dpi.
• Card size on the page: Real size (85.6 × 54 mm, the standard bank-card size) or Large (twice real size, made a little smaller if both sides don’t fit).
• Write “Front” and “Back”: adds a small label above each side. Off by default.

Common problems and fixes

• “The four corners don’t make a page shape”: two dots are in the wrong place. Drag each one onto a different corner of the card.
• Part of the card is cut off: use Adjust corners instead of the automatic center crop.
• Glare hides a number: tilt the card slightly away from the light, or turn the flash off, and retake the photo.
• The printed card is the wrong size: print at Actual size or 100%. “Fit to page”, especially on US Letter paper, shrinks it.

Tips

• Put the card on a dark surface so its edges stand out.
• Photograph from straight above to avoid strong perspective.
• Sharing the copy with a bank or landlord? Save as JPG and run the page through Watermark ID copy, or cover numbers they don’t need with Hide ID number.

Privacy

ID cards are exactly the kind of file you shouldn’t upload to unknown servers. Here the photos are straightened and laid out in your browser, and nothing is sent anywhere.
