Even lighting
Face a light source, such as an open window, and use a plain light background.
Pricing: €1,80 for 48h access, then €49/month (20 photos/month), cancelable online at any time.
An ID card photo accepted the first time
The national identity card photo must meet strict criteria set by the French National Agency for Secure Documents (ANTS). We automatically crop your selfie to the official 35 × 45 mm format, position the face at the right height, replace the background with a light, even one, then check brightness, sharpness and expression before generating your file.
The same photo for your ID card and your passport
In France, ID photos follow the same standards for the identity card and the passport. The file you get can therefore be used for both applications, at the town hall or on the ANTS online service, for a renewal or a first application.
