ID photos for institutions and public transport
Portrait photo capture for ID cards, passes, and membership cards — no in-person appointment needed, even during peak loads.
Three steps to a finished ID photo.
Photo capture
The process can be started from an existing application or from Photo Collect. Capture via smartphone, app, or photo kiosk.
Checking and processing
The AI checks the image immediately and processes it automatically according to defined requirements. Manual quality control is optional.
Integration
The processed image can be exported or transferred to existing systems via sFTP or API. The data is deleted automatically after processing.
Thousands of photos in just a few days.
Photo Collect captures photos where people already are — on their own device, even when many cards are due at the same time.
Peak loads
Thousands of parallel uploads when many cards are due at the same time — without additional staff.
Online instead of at the counter
Photos are captured online and checked immediately — only the handover remains on site.
Connection to existing systems
Master data from the portal, customer, or administration system — export directly to card printing.
Capture on your own device
End users receive a personal upload link — via email, SMS, or QR code.
- The upload works without login and without app installation
- The check runs during upload, and feedback is immediate
- Scalable to thousands of photos per day
Photo kiosk on site
Where no personal device is available, the self-service kiosk takes over — at the ID card office, at reception, or in the sales outlet.
- Self-service kiosk or staff-operated app at the ID card office
- Integrated background removal
- Wireless operation possible

What holds up under peak loads.
The load isn't spread across the year but concentrated in a few days — these features are designed for exactly that.
Without app, without login
The upload runs in the default browser. On a desktop, a QR code transfers the session to the smartphone.
Time-bound capture
Upload links are valid for a limited time and tied to one person — aligned with the deadline and the start of validity.
Automatic reminder
Anyone who doesn't respond receives a follow-up invitation. The status can be viewed at any time.
Swiss made, Swiss hosted.

Use caseFrequently Asked Questions
Do end users need to install an app?
No. The upload runs in the device's default browser, with no login and no app installation. On a desktop, a QR code transfers the session to the smartphone.
Can existing master data be imported?
Yes, data can be easily integrated via Excel imports or via the REST API.
How much time does quality control take?
Quality control is an optional quality assurance module and can also be switched off entirely. The interface is designed for fast, parallel review — around one second per photo. Since several people can review at the same time, even tens of thousands of photos per hour can be processed. As a rule, 2–4% of photos are requested again.
Which photo formats are possible?
The photo formats can be freely configured. In addition to the standard format in the corporate sector (4:3) and the passport photo format (1:1 or 45:35), any aspect ratio can be configured. Photos with a round cut-out are also possible.
