For schools, companies and clubs

Portrait photos by link, not at a photo shoot

A link by SMS or email, the photo taken on the phone, checked and cropped, back to you as a ZIP.

Hosted in Switzerland. No account for the person in front of the camera, no trackers, no generative alteration of faces.

Who it is for

For every organisation that needs photos

The process is the same everywhere. You set the formats and the text of the invitation yourself.

  • Schools

    Photos for student ID, class list and Microsoft 365.

  • Companies

    Photos for badges, Microsoft 365 and the team page.

  • Clubs and sport

    Photos for membership cards, licences and team pages.

How it works

Three steps, one link

  1. Invite

    Paste a list from Excel or add people one by one. Each person gets their link by SMS or email.

    Reminder after a set period, resend at any time.

  2. Capture

    The person opens the link on their phone. The live check says what to change before they take the photo.

    No account, no app. A photo from the gallery works too.

  3. Collect

    You see who has submitted and download the photos as a ZIP: one folder per format, each file named after the person's number.

    Photos and personal data are deleted after a set period.

Check

Every hint says what to do

Measured to ISO/IEC 29794-5, with the same thresholds in the browser and on the server.

Checked, among other things

  • Image quality
  • Lighting
  • Head position
  • Gaze direction
  • Framing
  • Background
  • Headwear
  • Glasses or reflections
  • Headphones
  • Filter or editing

Add-on: PortraitBridge

Checked photos for Microsoft 365

For every organisation with Microsoft 365: switch on PortraitBridge and the checked photo becomes the profile picture in Outlook, Teams and SharePoint. Only what passed the check reaches Microsoft 365.

  • The right to one's own image stays. Each person takes their profile picture themselves and confirms it. Only the profile picture of the person who signed in is set.
  • Only checked photos. PortraitBridge takes what passed the check and, if you require it, was approved. A blocked photo never becomes a profile picture.
  • No swapping at will. A new profile picture goes through the same check as the first. Whether people may also upload their own pictures in Teams or Outlook is set by your IT in Microsoft 365.
  • One click in the intranet. “Update my profile picture” in the intranet, SharePoint or Teams, signed in with the organisation's account. No other account is needed.
  • Switched on in the console. One click creates the access for PortraitBridge; your IT approves the app in Microsoft 365.

Privacy

What happens to the photos

  • No account, no app. People only need the link.
  • Faces stay real. Crop, tones, sharpness. At most a single colour replaces the background; no generative image model.
  • No face embeddings. The check measures quality; it recognises no one.
  • Deleted after a set period. The original shortly after collection, the finished photos 30 days later. There is no archive.
  • Photos and data in Switzerland. Servers, image store, backup and the additional check at Infomaniak in Switzerland; emails via Mailomat in Switzerland. Only text messages go through Twilio in Ireland: number and text, never a photo.
  • Each organisation on its own. Its own tenant, separated down to the database.
