We replaced the photo shop.
Foto2Pass is the passport photo tool I wanted to exist when I had to renew my own passport and couldn't find an hour in the week to sit in a chair at a studio.
Why we built this
Official passport photos are a solvable problem that's still being solved in 1990s-era photo shops. Every country publishes the exact rules online — face height 26-30mm, neutral expression, uniform background — yet most people still drive to a studio, pay €15-25, and hope the clerk gets it right.
We built Foto2Pass to translate each country's published biometric rules into an AI pipeline: take a selfie on your phone, our system checks every government requirement the inspector will check, produces a compliant file in under two minutes. If your government rejects it anyway, we refund in full — we verify our output against the same specs the inspector uses, so the downside is on us.
How it works
Every photo runs through the same pipeline: MediaPipe face detection for eye/chin/crown landmarks, AI compliance check against the country's specific rules, background replacement to the exact spec colour, precise crop to print dimensions, and output-side measurement to verify the final file is inside every tolerance band. The rules are cross-referenced annually against the official government documents (Rijksoverheid, GOV.UK, Bundesdruckerei, ANTS, travel.state.gov) — you can see the sources on /admin/country-specs if you're technical.
Honest compliance
We measure what the inspector measures. If our output is outside spec, we tell you, let you retake, and don't take your money for a photo that'll fail.
Privacy-first
Your photo is deleted 30 days after purchase. No biometric data retained. No tracking cookies by default. GDPR-compliant infrastructure.
Every country, every age
40+ countries supported with country-specific pricing and printing. Child-age brackets (NL ≤10 years, DE ≤10 years) get their own face-size targeting.
Built by someone who uses it
Solo-operated, bootstrapped. Every feature here exists because I, my family, or a user needed it. No growth hacks or dark patterns.
