Abstract: Systems and methods for the processing of digital files, such as digital images, for use on card devices, such as financial cards, identification cards or smart cards, are provided. In an exemplary method, a system receives a digital image, analyzes the image, re-dimensions or re-sizes the image as necessary, and prompts the user for approval of the altered image. The approved image can be used to produce photo-ID card devices, including sending the approved image to a production facility capable of producing photo-ID card devices. In a further embodiment, the system receives a compressed collection of files, which the system uncompresses before beginning analysis.
