Can I make it at home?
Yes. Upload a front-facing photo above and the tool removes the background, aligns your face, renders the final image and lays out a print sheet — all locally in your browser, with no upload.
Is the photo guaranteed to be accepted?
We build to the published official specs and give you a self-check, but acceptance is decided by the issuing authority — it's not a guarantee. Cross-check against the official source before you submit.
