What are the best software to create passport photos?
Adobe Photoshop
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:
⇒Download Adobe Photoshop free
Adobe Illustrator
Adobe Illustratorcan 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 avector-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 abanner or billboard, then you can’t go wrong with Adobe Illustrator.

Passport Photo Maker
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.
The UI is extremely simplistic to the point of being almost entry-level.

ID Photos PRO
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.

ID Photo Creator
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.

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.
