How to use the Driver’s License Scanner
- Lay the license on a dark, plain surface and photograph the front from straight above — or tap Choose front photo.
- Turn it over and add the back the same way (it often has the barcode or magnetic stripe).
- Drag the four dots onto each card’s corners; the tool straightens both sides and places them on one page at 85.6 × 54 mm.
- Pick a Max file size if a form limits uploads, add a watermark if you like, then Download PDF, Download JPG or Print.
Who asks for a copy of your license
Car rental companies, employers (for driving jobs and I-9 identity checks), insurers, landlords and DMV or license offices often ask for a copy of your driver’s license — usually front and back on one page. The back matters: it carries the barcode or magnetic stripe, endorsements and restrictions.
Getting a clean scan
- Surface: a dark, plain table makes the card’s edges easy to find, and the corners are placed for you.
- Glare: licenses have a glossy security layer. Turn off the flash and tilt the card slightly away from bright lights so the photo and text are readable.
- Size: driver’s licenses use the standard card size (85.6 × 54 mm, ID-1). At “Real size” the copy prints exactly as big as the card — print at 100% / “Actual size”.
Privacy
Everything runs in your browser: the photos are never uploaded or stored. Before sending a copy, add a watermark like “Copy for ACME Rentals — 2026-10-28” so it can’t be reused elsewhere.
