Cropping Face Photos from Application forms in Bulk
Update (July 2026): Face Crop Jet now reads PDF files natively. Drop application forms or scanned enrolment documents straight into the app — no screenshots, no export-to-image step, no conversion tools. Every page of the PDF is rendered as a high-resolution image, the applicant's face is detected on each page, and each face is cropped out as an ID-ready photo. Built-in whitespace trimming cleans bright scan margins and page gutters off the crops automatically.
It’s the season for applications. Soon, you or your department will have hundreds of applications at hand, each of them needing to be scanned and edited. Organizing them can be difficult if you have hundreds at your disposal. If you need to crop out each applicant’s face, whether to put them in a database or prepare photos for IDs, it can be even more difficult. While cropping isn’t difficult, having to crop hundreds of photos can be taxing on employees, and can waste manpower.
Face Crop Jet is an app that can do the work for you. Using face detection technology, it finds the applicant’s face and automatically crops it into an ID-ready photo. It can crop it from a normal photo, a corner of an application form, or directly from a PDF. This process makes cropping face photos from application forms very easy.
Here are some of its features:
- Native PDF input. Load PDF application forms directly — single or multi-page. Each page is processed like a photo and every detected face is cropped and saved individually.
- Automatic all around. Load whatever photos or forms you need and the app will do the rest. No manual input required.
- Can do pictures in bulk. Load an entire folder of application forms and you’ll have ID-ready photos in no time. No need to process files one by one.
- Any image and format supported — JPG, PNG, BMP, TIFF and PDF. You can load an entire application or a small photo of the person, and the app will do the rest.
- Whitespace trimming. Bright scan margins and page gutters around the face are trimmed off automatically, so crops from forms come out clean and compliance-ready.
- The output of the photos can be adjusted to a certain size, allowing the cropped photos to be the same dimensions.
- If the photo has multiple faces, each face will be cropped and saved individually.
- Everything runs locally on your machine — applicant documents are never uploaded anywhere.
- Only $59 to purchase. A free trial is available as well.
Processing applications can be difficult, but Face Crop Jet makes it easy. You can save hours by using this app, so download it and see if it’s right for your business. With a free trial, there’s no risk for you.
