ID Photo Maker provides a simple but impressive set of tools for creating the photos needed for various means of identification. We were constantly pleased with the program's thoughtful options for perfecting our ID image.

ID Photo Maker's interface immediately sent us the signal that it was a professional program. Its design is sleek and simple to navigate, so much so that we never even thought to read the Help file. The program contains the ID information for dozens of countries; we chose an American passport. After choosing which ID to make and employing the useful cropping feature, we set up a matrix based off of the biometrics of each eye, the chin, and the top of the head. Using these, the program cropped our image to each ID's regulation standards. The program also offers several touch-up features that help dial in a perfect image, including adjustable brightness and color levels and even a background blur feature. All were simple to operate and helped the shot quality. The finished product was a clean, attractive photo ready to be submitted with a passport application. Overall, we were impressed with this simple and effective program and could see it saving money over having a photo professionally taken.

ID Photo Maker is freeware. It installs desktop icons without permission. Its professional layout and simplicity make this a program to recommend.
