PhotoID Studio
PhotoID Studio turns existing photos into print-ready passport, visa, and ID images for photo studios.
What PhotoID Studio is
PhotoID Studio turns existing photos into print-ready passport, visa, and ID images for photo studios. It includes biometric templates for more than 130 countries, prepared according to ICAO 9303. After selecting a country, the app detects the face and applies that template’s head ratio, eye line, and chin margin. Editing tools remove backgrounds and provide skin retouching, sharpening, and tone controls. Print layouts include cut marks at 300 DPI and custom paper dimensions. Face detection, cropping, country sizing, layout, and export run on the user’s computer. Background removal and retouching use a reduced image copy processed on the maker’s GPU servers; the privacy policy says photos are held temporarily in memory and not stored on those servers. The app runs on macOS and Windows. Minimum requirements are Windows 10 or 11, or a Mac from 2017 onward, 4 GB RAM, about 2 GB of storage, and internet access for specified online functions. An account and active subscription are required. Pricing is listed from $4/mo (annual), with a 30-day free trial and no free plan.
