How to Take a Good ID Photo at Home

Even with a great tool, you need a good source photo. Here are some tips:

1. **Lighting**: Face a window for natural, even lighting. Avoid strong shadows on your face or background.
2. **Background**: Stand in front of a plain white or off-white wall. If you don't have one, our background removal tool can help.
3. **Camera Position**: Have someone else take the photo or use a tripod. The camera should be at eye level, about 4-5 feet away.
4. **Expression**: Keep a neutral facial expression with both eyes open. Look directly at the camera.
5. **Attire**: Wear normal street attire. Avoid uniforms or camouflage unless required.

Common ID Photo Sizes

Different documents require different sizes. Here are a few common ones:

• **2 x 2 inches (51 x 51 mm)**: Standard for many US documents and some international visas.
• **35 x 45 mm**: Standard for UK, Europe, Australia, and many other countries.
• **50 x 70 mm**: Often used for Canadian documents.
