Exceed expectations with a best-in-class capture experience

Our Smart Capture SDK is built with conversion in mind. All a customer needs to do is take a photo of their ID. Our image enhancement technology captures a short video and automatically selects the best available image of a customer and their document. This reduces image rejection due to blur, glare, and camera positioning by up to 70%.

If NFC is supported by the document, we guide customers to tap it against their phone to further improve conversion and security.

Our web, Android and iOS SDKs are simple to integrate thanks to our clear developer documentation and single API.

How it works

Document capture

A customer is directed to capture a document by taking a photo of it using their smartphone or webcam. If using an NFC-enabled smartphone and document, we direct them to tap their document on their phone so we can authenticate the document using additional security features.

AI-powered analysis

Atlas AI assesses the legitimacy of the document captures, analyzing datapoints including images, machine-readable zones, barcodes, QR codes, and NFC chips.

Actionable results

We return results via our API or dashboard with a topline result of clear or consider. We also provide 38 result breakdowns so you know why decisions have been made, and can configure custom logic to automate appropriate actions.
