PRC ID card — frequently asked questions
Is scanning PRC ID card in Pixfit free?
Yes. Pixfit's ID Document Scanner is free with no watermark on the workspace, no signup, and no monthly cap. The optional anti-misuse watermark on the output is off by default — you decide whether to turn it on.
Will the PRC ID card photo be uploaded to a server?
No. Perspective correction, watermark compositing, and PDF assembly all run locally in your browser. The phone-shot photo of PRC ID card never leaves your device.
Can I add an anti-misuse watermark to PRC ID card?
Yes, it's optional and off by default. When you turn it on, the text and opacity are fully customisable (opacity clamps to 30 %–70 % so the watermark stays visible enough to be useful) — handy when you want to mark the scan as 'For XYZ Company onboarding only' before sending.
Will the scan of PRC ID card be accepted by official portals?
Most online submission portals accept rectified phone-camera scans of PRC ID card, and the output mimics a flatbed scanner closely. For high-stakes filings, check the destination portal's exact spec — file size, DPI, color or black-and-white — and pick the matching output mode before exporting.
