AI Arrested Mugshot Generator

How it works

1. 1

   Upload your photo

   Pick a clear, straight-on photo of the person you want to "arrest" — a selfie, a profile photo, or any shot where their face is visible and facing forward. Front-facing photos work best since real mugshots are head-on.

   Expect: Upload takes under 5 seconds. Any common format works — JPEG, PNG, HEIC from your phone.

   Describe the arrest scene

   Type what you want — something like "Make this look like a realistic police arrest booking photo. Add two uniformed officers on either side, metal handcuffs on the wrists, and a police station height chart backdrop. Keep the face natural and unaltered. Make it look completely convincing." The more specific you are about the scene details, the more realistic the result.

   Tip: Add a specific police department name or city for extra realism — "NYPD booking photo" or "Los Angeles County Sheriff" makes the backdrop details more authentic and believable.

   Copy one of these to get started:

   Classic booking photo Transform this into a realistic police arrest booking photo. Add two uniformed officers in dark blue uniforms standing on either side, metal handcuffs on the wrists, and a standard police station height chart on the wall behind. The subject looks tired and slightly disheveled. Fluorescent overhead lighting. Make it look completely authentic.

   County sheriff department Make this a county sheriff's department booking photo.

Add a small printed card at the bottom with a fake booking number. Harsh overhead fluorescent lighting.

   High-security federal arrest Create a federal law enforcement arrest photo. Add two agents in dark suits and ties flanking the subject, with handcuffs and a plain grey government-issue backdrop. Serious, stoic expressions on the agents. Add a federal case number placard at the bottom. The subject looks like they've had a very bad day.

   Disheveled and rough Transform this into a gritty police arrest mugshot. Add two uniformed officers, metal handcuffs, height chart wall behind. Make the subject look like they've been through the wringer — slightly mussed hair, tired eyes, rumpled clothing. Harsh police station lighting that washes out the colors. Totally authentic.

   Send it

   Download and fire it off. Works best as a text message to a parent, sibling, or partner. The classic move: send it with no context and then — 30 seconds later — send "I need you to come bail me out." Let the panic marinate before you come clean.
