Why we built
Penguin Edit
We are Chintu and Mintu. Two developers who experienced a ridiculously frustrating trip to print an ID photo, and decided to fix the system forever.
The 2 Hour Wait.
We needed passport photos urgently. We went to a standard photo studio, but they demanded a 2-hour wait. If we wanted it fast, they would charge double. That wasn't an option.
We rushed to a local Xerox center instead. The owner said he could print them for us quickly. He clicked our photo, and that's when the real struggle started.
Heavy Software on Slow PCs.
He tried to open massive, heavy Photoshop software just to crop and arrange a few images on a 4x6 grid. His basic PC completely froze.
The Better Way.
Thousands of local xerox shops, cyber cafes, and small studios face this exact problem daily. They want to print ID layouts fast to earn an income, but they lack expensive hardware and complex editing skills.
So we built Penguin Edit:
- Upload a photo directly in your browser.
- Auto-crop to strictly defined passport sizes.
- Instantly download a perfectly packed 4x6 grid.
