Photograph the front and back of an ID card and LensUp places both onto one A4 sheet — the common “copy both sides on one page” errand, ready to print or send as a PDF. That is also how to print an ID card front and back in one page: export the PDF and print it on A4 — both sides stay at real card size.

How to use

  1. Photograph the front, then the back of the card.
  2. Choose the “ID card” layout.
  3. Export or print — both sides land on one A4 page.

Both sides on one sheet, at the card’s real size

The standard demand — from banks, HR departments, telecom counters, visa agents — is a single A4 page carrying both sides of an identity card. The layout here does exactly that: the first photo takes the front slot, the second the back, stacked one above the other on the sheet, each placed at ID-1 size — the 85.60 × 53.98 mm format identity cards physically use.

Printing at true size is the point. A photocopied card is credible because it is card-sized; a copy where the card fills half the page is routinely rejected. The layout does the size arithmetic so the print comes out matching the plastic in your wallet.

From two photos to one clean copy

Photograph each side flat, then straighten each one by placing its four corners in the editor — cards respond to the same perspective correction as pages, and the manual corners mean a card lying on a patterned surface cannot fool an edge detector into cropping it wrong. The scan filter then evens the lighting on both shots so the two sides print with matching background instead of one grey and one white.

The order rule is simple and worth knowing: first image front, second image back. Swap them in the page list if they arrived in the wrong order.

Printing without breaking the scale

One printer setting undoes the whole layout: scaling. Print dialogs default to “fit to page”, which enlarges the content and quietly makes both card images oversized. Set the scale to 100% — “actual size” — and the two frames land at 85.60 × 53.98 mm as designed.

After printing, the self-check is immediate: lay the card on its printed image. Matching outlines mean the copy is to scale; a visible border of paper around the plastic means the dialog scaled it, not the layout.

Treat every copy of an ID as sensitive

An image of an identity card is exactly the material caution exists for, which is why this layout runs in the browser: the card photos are processed on your device and are not uploaded to LensUp. What you export is under your control — and worth controlling. Share the copy only through the channel that asked for it, delete leftover exports from the downloads folder, and clear shared or public machines after printing.

If the requesting organisation allows it, a dated note on the copy stating its purpose is a sensible habit — it makes the copy harder to reuse anywhere else. Whether that is acceptable is the requester’s call, not the tool’s.
