ID Card Copy – Both Sides of an ID Card on One PDF Page, Free

How to Put Both Sides of an ID Card on One Page

Add a photo of the front and one of the back. A phone photo is enough: put the card on a plain, darker surface and take the picture from above.
The corners of the card are found automatically. If one is not right, drag the green corner onto the corner of the card. "Turn 180°" turns a side that is upside down.
Choose the colour, the paper and the number of copies, then click "Create PDF" and print the page at actual size.

What You Get

Real size – An ID card is placed at 85.6 × 54 mm, a passport page at 125 × 88 mm, so the printed copy has the size of the original – like a copy from a photocopier.
Straight, even photos – A photo taken at an angle is straightened, the background around the card is cut away and the contrast is improved.
Front and back on one sheet – Both sides are placed one under the other on an A4 or Letter page, once, twice or as many times as fit.
Colour or photocopy look – Keep the colours, use grayscale, or choose black and white for a copy that looks like it came from a photocopier.

When It Helps

Applications at ministries, banks, universities and employers that ask for a copy of both sides of your ID card.
Sending a copy of your driving licence or residence card by e-mail as a single PDF.
Printing a passport page copy for a visa or travel application.

Good to Know

Print the PDF at "Actual size" or 100 %. "Fit to page" in the print dialog changes the size of the card.
The corners are found best when the card lies on a plain surface that is clearly darker or lighter than the card. On a similar background, set the corners by hand.
The quality of the copy depends on the photo: use good light, avoid reflections on the card and keep the phone parallel to it.
This tool makes a copy for your own applications. It does not change, check or certify the document.
