How to copy both sides of an ID

  1. Capture the front with your camera or choose a photo, then do the same for the back.
  2. Drag the corners onto the corners of the card so it is straightened.
  3. Choose ID card or passport and the paper size, then press Create PDF.

ID cards and driver's licenses are placed at 85.6 × 54 mm, the standard card size, and passport pages at 125 × 88 mm. Print at 100% (Actual size) and the copy matches the original.

Questions

Is my ID sent to a server?

Photos are processed on your device and are never sent anywhere. PaperSwoop redraws each photo, so details like your location and camera model aren't copied into the PDF.

Will the printed copy be the real size?

Yes, as long as you print at 100% or Actual size. Fit to page makes it bigger or smaller.

Do I need the back?

No. If you only add the front, the page has just the front.

Can I scan a passport?

Yes. Choose Passport photo page and capture the page with your photo. It's placed at 125 × 88 mm.
