About Recreto
A photo studio born from a simple frustration — why is getting a decent photo still so hard?
What does Recreto mean?
Recreto comes from "Recreate" + "Photo." Recreate means to create again — to take something and transform it into something new. That's exactly what we do: take one ordinary photo and recreate it into a professional portrait.
Recreate Photo — Recreto. We transform your everyday selfie into studio-quality headshots, passport photos, and professional portraits. One photo in, endless possibilities out.
Why I built Recreto
It started with a LinkedIn profile photo. I needed a professional headshot, but my options were: spend $100+ at a studio and block out half a day, or use that blurry selfie from two years ago. Neither felt right.
Then I needed a passport photo. Drove to a studio, waited 20 minutes for a 5-second snap, paid $15 for something I could have taken with my phone. And the photo? Honestly, I looked terrible. We've all been there.
I kept thinking — with AI this advanced, why do I still need to write a 3-paragraph prompt just to get a decent photo? Why not just upload a selfie and have it work? Something fast, prompt-free, and actually good. So I built it myself.
Recreto is the service I wished existed. No prompts, no appointments, no awkward posing, no overpriced prints. Just upload one selfie — your face stays yours, just studio-clean. Built in Seoul, for everyone.
