Pick the document, click the top of the head and the chin, and the photo is scaled, straightened and placed to that size’s head and eye rules, with guide lines and a photo check. You can replace a plain wall with white, blue or another colour, then download a single photo, an online photo under a KB limit, or a print sheet for 4 × 6 photo paper or A4. Everything happens in your browser.

- 2 Click the top of the head (the hair) and then the chin. The photo is sized and centred for you; drag, zoom or straighten it if needed, and change the background colour.
- 3 Download the print sheet PDF or JPG and print it at actual size, or download a single photo or an online photo for an application form.
