Shoti started from a very simple frustration: getting a proper ID photo is still unnecessarily hard. You either go to a studio, overpay for something basic, or struggle with templates that never quite match official requirements. We wanted to make this process instant, accurate, and accessible from anywhere. The initial idea was just “generate a passport photo from home,” but quickly evolved into something more robust. Different countries, different formats, strict compliance rules — this pushed us to build a system that doesn’t just crop a photo, but understands requirements and produces ready-to-print outputs. Today, Shoti lets you take a photo, process it, and print studio-grade ID photos at home in minutes. No waiting, no guesswork, no studio visits. Still early, and there’s a lot to improve — especially around edge cases and country-specific rules. Feedback is very welcome.
