Let's face it—trying to scan an ID card and print it perfectly on an A4 page is a frustrating experience. You take a photo with your phone, but it's tilted. You try to crop it, but the background looks messy. Then, you struggle with Microsoft Word or Photoshop just to align the Front and Back sides on a single page.
What if you could get that "Photoshop-style" precision without actually learning Photoshop? What if you could crop your ID card by simply dragging the corners with your mouse and instantly generate a printable PDF?
That is exactly why we built the ID Card Scanner Pro. It is a powerful, free online tool that lets you scan, crop, and prepare A4 size PDF files for your National ID (NID), Driving License, or Visiting Cards in seconds.
ID Card Scanning Now🚀 New Features Added!
We have updated the tool with powerful features based on user feedback:
- Zoom Magnifier: A magnifying glass now appears when dragging corners for precise cropping on small screens.
- Image Rotation: Fix sideways or upside-down photos instantly with the new Rotate button.
- Adjustable Magic Filter: You can now increase (+) or decrease (-) the brightness of the scanned document.
- JPG Support: Download your scanned files in JPG format alongside PDF and PNG.
Why Do You Need a "Smart Crop" Tool?
Most basic image editors only allow you to crop in a square or rectangle. But when you take a photo of an ID card lying on a table, the angle is rarely perfect. This creates a "perspective distortion" where the card looks like a trapezoid instead of a rectangle.
Our tool solves this with Perspective Cropping. Just like professional scanning software, it allows you to:
- Drag Corners Individually: You can move four green dots to the exact corners of your card using your mouse or finger.
- Flatten the Image: The tool automatically stretches and straightens the image, removing the table or background completely.
- Enhance Quality: It sharpens the text and brightens the background, making it look like a photocopy.
How to Prepare an ID Card for A4 Printing (Step-by-Step)
You don't need any technical skills. Follow this simple guide to create a professional A4 print-ready PDF.
Click on the upload box or simply drag and drop your ID card photos. If the image is tilted, use the Rotate (↻) button to fix it.
Once the image loads, drag the four green dots to the corners of your ID card. A Zoom Magnifier will appear to help you see exactly where you are cropping.
Click the "Scan & Crop" button to straighten the image. Then, click "Magic Color" to whiten the background. You can now use the (+) and (-) buttons to adjust the brightness level.
Scroll down and click "Download PDF" for printing. You can also download the file as a high-quality JPG or PNG image if you need to share it digitally.
Manual Layout vs. Automatic Tool

Features That Make It Stand Out
We designed this tool to be the ultimate ID Card to PDF Converter.
1. Photoshop-Style Perspective Crop
The core feature of this tool is its ability to handle angled photos. You don't need to take a perfect shot. Just take a photo, drag the crop markers, and let our algorithm handle the geometry.
2. Privacy Guaranteed (Client-Side)
We understand that ID cards contain sensitive personal data. That is why our tool works offline-first. Once the page loads, all image processing happens inside your browser. Your documents are never uploaded to our servers.
3. Universal Compatibility
Whether you are on a Windows PC using a mouse, or on an Android/iPhone using touch, the drag-and-drop system works flawlessly. It creates a universal PDF format that can be printed on any printer without formatting issues.
Conclusion
Printing an ID card on A4 paper shouldn't be a headache. With ID Card Scanner Pro, you get the power of advanced scanning software with the simplicity of a web tool. It is fast, secure, and generates high-quality results every time.
So, next time you need to submit a copy of your NID or license, don't rush to a shop. Just drag, crop, and print from the comfort of your home.
