How to use the ID Card Scanner
- Click Choose front photo (or Take a photo on your phone) and add a picture of the front of the card. Do the same for the back.
- Drag the four dots onto the corners of the card. The tool straightens the photo into a flat, rectangular scan.
- Pick the card size, A4 or US Letter, and a look — Color, Scan (brighter, sharper), Gray or B&W. Add a watermark if you send the copy to a company.
- Click Download PDF, Download JPG or Print. Uploading to a form with a size limit? Pick a Max file size (for example 1 MB or 200 KB) first.
Why put both sides on one page?
Banks, landlords, employers, car rentals and government offices often ask for a copy of an ID “front and back on one page”. Doing it with a photocopier means copying one side, flipping the card and copying again on the same sheet. This tool does it from two phone photos: it straightens each side (perspective correction, like a scanner app), places both on one page at the card’s real size, and gives you a print-ready PDF.
Works for every ID document
- National ID cards and residence permits — scan the front and back for banks, landlords, employers and government forms.
- Driver’s licenses — front and back on one page for car rentals, insurers, employers and DMV forms. See the Driver’s License Scanner.
- Passports — scan the passport photo page (and a second page if asked) for visa applications and travel bookings with the Passport Scanner.
- Bank, health insurance and student cards — anything in the standard credit-card size.
Whatever the document, you can scan it with your phone camera or upload a photo, straighten it, and save the scan as PDF or JPG — under a size limit if an upload form needs it.
Card sizes
| Format | Size | Used for |
|---|---|---|
| ID-1 | 85.6 × 54 mm | National ID cards, driver’s licenses, residence permits, bank and health insurance cards |
| ID-2 | 105 × 74 mm | Some older ID cards and visas |
| ID-3 | 125 × 88 mm | Passport photo pages |
Print with your printer’s “Actual size” / 100% setting (not “Fit to page”) so the cards come out at their true size.
Privacy
An ID is one of the most sensitive things you can scan. Everything here — loading the photos, straightening, the page and the PDF — runs in your browser. Nothing is uploaded and nothing is saved; close the tab and it is gone. Before sending a copy, consider a watermark naming who it is for and the date, so a leaked copy can’t be reused, and only share it with organizations that really need it.
