How to scan an ID card with your phone

- Scan the backDo the same under Back. If the card is upside down, tap Flip.
- DownloadChoose the color mode, A4 layout, print size and an optional watermark, then download JPG or PDF.
Both sides on one A4 page at real size
The card is straightened to 85.6 × 54 mm with rounded corners and placed on A4: side by side on a portrait page, one above the other, or side by side on a landscape page. Print at 100% scale with "Fit to page" turned off to get a real-size copy.
Add a protective watermark
A copy of your ID sent online can be saved and misused. Type a short note such as "For opening a bank account only, 28/09/2026"; it is printed diagonally and faintly over both sides while the details stay readable.
Is scanning an ID card online safe?
Detection, straightening and page layout all run on your device; the card images are never uploaded. Still, only send copies of your ID to organisations you trust and that genuinely need them.
Tips to avoid glare
ID cards are glossy. Turn off the flash, tilt the phone slightly, shoot near a window and tap the card on screen to focus before taking the photo.
