We’re so back

What’s new

Eh… paiseh

It took us 10 years to update this app. We thought take IC photo must stay still, so we never move for very long.

New

Auto Mode

Full-on eye power mode! You don’t even need to press a button.

Now with Auto Mode, you can Eye Power your way to an IC Photo. Just hold up the app, and a countdown will start automatically when we think you’re ready and take your photo. You don’t move can already.

New

iPhone Duo support

See your photos unfold.

Take selfie folded! Take selfie unfolded! Prop it up like a laptop and take photo, for some reason! Ask someone else to take for you, if you don’t mind handing them your precious device!

So many new features!
No wonder take 10 years!
See you for the next update in 2036!

Just take a Photo

Don’t worry, we’ll take care of the rest.

  5. Chapter 5: Share

  1. Live Feedback

    Line yourself up with the guides, and on-screen prompts will complain at you until you’re perfectly positioned, then snap!

  2. Post-Processing

    Your photo is automatically cropped and resized for ICA’s specifications for NRIC/passport photos (400 × 514px).

  3. No Rush. Self-Timer.

    If you don’t want to use Auto Mode (are you afraid of progress???), there’s a 3- or 5-second countdown timer to help you prepare for the shot. Disable this countdown timer to take photos of fast-moving objects like children, pets, and the cost of living in Singapore.

  4. Print Sheet

    Generate a 4R Print Sheet so you can print 6 photos of yourself, or admire 6 of your face in one sheet.

  5. Share

    Email it to yourself, or save it to your Photos, so you can finish your online application later, or just admire your face in your gallery.

All these features are available for free. Actually, the entire app is free.

Features

  • Free!
  • New It’s super easy! With our new Auto Mode, you don’t even need to press a button. Cannot get any easier.

  • Freeee!!
  • You can take your own picture, like a selfie. Did you know we made this app in 2011, before “selfie” was even a word? This app is older than our kids.
  • New Or have someone else take it for you. Maybe with the outer screen on your shiny new iPhone Duo! If you want to pass it to someone else.
  • There’s a 3- or 5-second countdown timer to help you prepare for the shot.
  • Disable this countdown timer to take photos of fast-moving objects like children, pets, and the cost of living in Singapore. $10 for photo booth photos nowadays leh, seriously? Wah piang.
  • If you send a photo of your pet to ICA, don’t say we suggested it.
  • New Automatically remove the background! But use at your own risk, ICA says photos “must not be altered or enhanced”. We suspect they mean, don’t AI your face until very fake-looking, but don’t say we never warn you.
  • Email it to yourself, or save it to your Photos, so you can finish your online application later, or just admire your face in your gallery.
  • Generate a 4R Print Sheet so you can print 6 photos of yourself, or admire 6 of your face in one sheet.
  • Freeeeee!!!
  • Share your photo or print sheet to social media! We don’t know why you’d want to do this, but you can.
  • Or send to your loved ones? Nothing quite expresses affection like an ICA-sized non-smiling selfie on iMessage.
  • Or send to your employer? But only if they ask for it. Don’t send your IC photo to your boss for fun.
  • FreeEEeeEEEeeE!!!!!
  • Why are you still reading this, we’ve run out of features.

If you have questions or suggestions, please email icphoto@tk.sg. Thanks!

Fantastic app that everyone should use. No need to spend a single cent for ugly passport photo at the self service booth or expensive shots at the studio. And save $10 applying online for passport. I pity those who are queuing at ICA to take their photos and applying for passport over the counter. If only there are volunteers standby to help them do it the electronic way.

I used this to take a recent passport photo and it was approved by the ICA and saved me a boatload* of time photoshopping and cropping it myself. Plus I love the humor, great job!

Literary genius
Used the app and it's great blah blah but anyone noticed the fantastic write up? Hilarious and made my day. Giving five stars just because of that. 👍
