The Privacy Problem with Online Passport Makers

Most online passport photo tools require you to upload your portrait to their servers. This means your biometric data—your face—is sitting on a random database. In 2026, privacy is non-negotiable.

Why 'Local AI' is the Future

Using Local AI, you can now process your ID photos entirely in your browser. The background removal happens on your device's GPU or CPU. Your photo never touches the cloud, keeping your identity safe from data breaches.
