A portrait open in the SpanSearch image editor

Plain white, front-facing, half-length

The background has no shadow or gradient. The face is centered, with a little space above the head, and the head is about three quarters of the frame. Shoulders are level and both ears show. The frame is 5:7.

No beauty filter, no slimmer face

Identity, age, hairstyle, and features stay. When glasses come off, the eyes are rebuilt from this person’s eye shape, size, and iris color.

The expression follows an ID photo

Eyes open, looking straight at the camera. Mouth closed, no smile, no teeth. If several people are in the photo, use the one closest to the center.

How a portrait becomes an ID photo

Select a portrait, frame it as a white half-length photo, then check the head, eyes, ears, and expression.

Step 1

Choose a front-facing portrait

Open it in the image editor and select it. A photo with clear features, facing the camera, works better.

Step 2

Frame it as 5:7, half-length

Choose ID photo. The background is plain white, with no shadow. The frame is locked to 5:7.

Step 3

Check the head, eyes, and ears

It is still the same person. Eyes are open, the mouth is closed, and both ears show. The face was not beautified.

Step 4

Export the photo

Export PNG or SVG in the same editor.

State the spec, and state that the face stays

Name the background, the framing, and the expression, and say to keep the features. No beauty filter. No slimmer face.
