Our passport photo software

Our professional software for fast and automatic processing of ID photos (e.g. passport, visa, etc.) in compliance with ICAO and local regulations.

The integrated database of over 280 ID formats for more than 87 countries makes our passport photo software the top of its class.

Unlike typical image editing programs, our passport photo software is designed specifically for passport and ID card photography. For this reason, it is one of the fastest and most accurate tools on the market today. From loading an image through the verification process to final printing takes only 10 seconds.

Our passport image software takes full advantage of our proprietary algorithms to automatically recognize all relevant facial biometric features. In addition, ID Photos instantly aligns and crops the image to meet the requirements of each passport. It detects potential problems such as mouth movements, sunglasses, reflections and more.

The wizard guides the user to perfect passport photos in 4 easy steps. For each format, the requirements are shown by giving tips on how the photo should be taken (e.g. against which background, head view, facial expression). This way, anyone will be able to take an ID photo for even the most exotic countries.

Some great features of the software

Certificate of compliance

ID Photos prints a certificate of compliance with ICAO standards as well as a confirmation for the ePhoto format.

Compatible with all printers

The software works with all types of printers. It also allows seamless page export to digital minilabs.

Biometric algorithms

Automated 2nd generation recognition of facial and biometric features. Our fast and accurate feature recognition enables automatic processing of multiple photos.

Statistics and job log

A comprehensive reporting feature allows you to closely monitor vital statistics such as number of prints, exports, and CS/DVD burns. A detailed job log of operator activity is also included.

French ePhoto format

ID Photos Pro 8 is one of the few software approved for the French national ePhoto program. The software works with Wacom tablets to capture the signature required in the ePhoto application process. The ePhoto feature requires an additional EIG registration fee (payment and activation by Tetenal sarl).

Archive photos

The automatic archiving function ensures that all photos remain together. The search engine allows the operator to find photos by customer name or date taken.

Page layout templates

The software comes with over 60 ready-to-use templates. GUI editor for additional customization such as image layout, additional texts, company logo, etc.

Burn, export, e-mail

Direct export of the edited photo to a file, CD/DVD burning as well as e-mailing to your customer.

Monitor and printer calibrations

ID Photos takes full advantage of Windows color management. Supports both manual corrections and ICC profiling with print color “soft proofing”.

WiFi cameras

WiFi and Watched Folder let you work with wireless cameras and get instant on-screen image previews.

Instant retouching

The built-in, easy-to-use retouching feature has a clone stamp and tools for makeup and local adjustments. Integration with external software such as Photoshop is also possible.

Background enhancement

ID Photos can adjust background brightness and uniformity by automatically isolating the head and body from their surroundings.

GDPR Compliant

Starting with version 8.3, ID Photos Pro has new features to support GDPR compliance, including a dedicated GDPR Wizard. The wizard regularly checks and recommends optimal software security settings.

ID Photos Pro is a locally installed software. It does not automatically send photos or process images for the purpose of identifying a natural person. Moreover, it does not record so-called biometric points. The use of ID Photos Pro is secure and does not require the customer’s consent to process their photos. With the settings recommended by the GDPR Wizard, the application is fully compliant with the regulation’s provisions.

Secure Cloud Storage

Secure Cloud Storage (SCS) is ID Photos Pro’s new GDPR-compliant service that enables fast transfer of all ID formats to the customer. It allows to avoid definitely less secure and questionable options in terms of GDPR, such as sending photos via email or storing them on USB sticks or CDs.

Sending a photo to SCS generates a unique, secure photo code that allows the customer to download their image to their own computer or even smartphone.

In addition, SCS can provide a UK ePassport format called “Photo Code” that can be used to apply for a UK passport directly on the government site gov.uk.
