• Passport photos are a necessity that allows better identification of an individual through their ID.
• You can create your own ID photos as long as you follow certain guidelines, but you'll need a very good image editor.
• One great example of such a tool is Adobe Photoshop, as well as many other entries which we will be covering below.

In a world where traveling is easier than ever before, documentation has to evolve too. This includes the good old passport that you need to carry when you travel between countries, as it has to follow certain guidelines in order to be valid.

Of course, the centerpiece of any passport is your photograph, and you want to make sure that it is impeccable if you don’t want issues at the border.

That being said, if you want to provide your own photo when creating the documentation, then at least make sure that it looks good.

That being said, here are some software tools that we consider to be the best when it comes to creating your own passport photos.

Adobe Photoshop is the ultimate photo editor on the market, and while it is not specifically designed to create passport photos, its versatile toolset allows you to also do that.

More so, you don’t have to prepare beforehand, since you can pretty much take any photograph where your face appears, and manipulate it to the point where it can be a valid ID photo.

This includes changing the lighting, deleting background, editing the clothes, and more.

More so, you won’t feel limited with Adobe Photoshop at all, since the license will give you the freedom to do pretty much anything you can think of, not just create ID photos like the dedicated tools.

Finally, those of you that are skeptical regarding the product’s quality are free to test it before they buy it by going for the free 7-day trial that each Adobe account can benefit.

Here are some of Adobe Photoshop’s main features:

• Can manipulate any image file
• Great at creating ID photos
• A world-class image editing tool
• Intuitive UI for Adobe veterans
• Works with well-known file formats

Adobe Illustrator can be described as Adobe Photoshop, but with a few extra twists. While admittedly it does have a lot of Adobe Photoshop’s tools, Adobe Illustrator is a vector-based image editor.

This allows the images created to be expanded indefinitely without fear of quality loss. However, this particular trait is almost useless when it comes to ID photos since there is a limit to how much you can expand the photo of someone’s face.

However, if you have a very good camera, and you want to use your ID photo on something else as well, like a banner or billboard, then you can’t go wrong with Adobe Illustrator.

Here are some of Adobe Illustrator’s main features:

• Can manipulate any image file
• Great at creating ID photos
• The world’s best vector-based image editor
• Compatible with all other Adobe products
• Can be tested for free for 7 days

Unlike the previous entries on our list, Passport Photo Maker is a dedicated tool specifically designed for those that want to create and edit ID photos.

This means that the program has all the basic tools needed for this particular task, but it also means that it is useless for anything else. However, if you work as a professional photographer and you create ID photos for a living, a dedicated tool like this one can be extremely handy.

Expert Tip: Some PC issues are hard to tackle, especially when it comes to corrupted repositories or missing Windows files. If you are having troubles fixing an error, your system may be partially broken. We recommend installing Restoro, a tool that will scan your machine and identify what the fault is.

Yet another lightweight software tool for creating ID photos made it on our list. It comes with a similarly simplistic UI just like the previous entry, while still maintaining the toolset necessary to create professional ID photos.

It boasts formats from several different countries in the form of photo crop-out templates, so you don’t have to google each country’s size. More so, the editing process is greatly simplified thanks to the built-in facial recognition.

More so, it supports several ePhoto formats with electronic signatures, so it isn’t limited just to printed IDs.

Here are some of ID Photos PRO’s main features:

• Supports formats from different countries
• has a built-in automatic face recognition feature
• Enhanced with several controlled security settings
• Your photos are safe thanks to secure cloud storage
• Detailed interface adjustment to suit your taste

Last but not least is yet another dedicated ID photo editor called ID Photo Creator. The great part is that it features all the tools that you would expect from a dedicated tool like this one, but you can also export photos to other image editors, like Photoshop.

More so, it manages to perfectly balance simplicity with complexity, as it features an intuitive UI while still being capable of more complex tasks, such as orders management, print shop logos and creating new ID types.

Here are some of ID Photo Creator’s main features:

• ID types from over 200+ countries
• Comes with automatic background replacement
• Built-in basic photo editor
• Easy navigation between files
• Good for business and homeowners

Thanks to the programs listed above, you should be able to create professional-looking passport photos that will give you no problems when crossing the border.

More so, if you own a business that makes money out of ID photos, all of the entries mentioned below are just as useful.
