What is the Mugshot Maker?
Somake's Mugshot Generator is a free online tool that applies authentic booking photo aesthetics to any portrait. It automatically adds height charts, case numbers, and the distinct harsh fluorescent lighting found in police records. Perfect for pranks, social media trends, and creative projects.
How to Create a Fake Mugshot in 3 Steps
Upload: Select a clear, front-facing photo (passport style works best).
Generate: Our AI automatically detects the face, applies the height chart background, and adjusts the lighting/grain.
Download: Save your high-resolution booking photo instantly. No watermarks.
Key Features
Authentic Police Styling: Replicates the "unflattering" institutional look—grainy texture, washed-out skin tones, and harsh overhead shadows.
Auto-Placement: AI automatically scales and centers your photo against a realistic height measurement backdrop.
