The firm operates from a headquarters in Gaibandha, Rangpur (Bangladesh) with a secondary office in Daya Nueva, Spain, and serves customers worldwide through a direct-to-consumer website (photoretouchingltd.com), WhatsApp, and Microsoft Teams channels. Its self-positioned identity is that of a top-10 global photo retoucher that explicitly avoids AI shortcuts in favor of 100% handmade Adobe Photoshop-based editing.

Underlying technology is Adobe Photoshop executed manually by a team of photo editors and image processing specialists using advanced techniques such as frequency separation, dodge & burn, layer masking, and channel masking. Customer acquisition is supported by an instant quote engine, a free trial offer, content marketing via an SEO-oriented blog, and social profiles on Facebook, LinkedIn, Instagram, and Behance.

The business model is unit-based pricing per image, ranging from $0.29 (shadow service) to $1.50 (jewelry retouching), with bulk discounts of up to 25% and no subscription fees disclosed. The company claims 3,000+ business and photographer customers and 8M+ photos processed, with a publicly displayed enterprise logo set that includes LVMH, Dior, Merck, Dassault Systèmes, Straumann, Air Liquide, British Council, Jurlique, Gameloft, Roquette, and others. The firm is bootstrapped and founder-led by Sagor Ahammad, with no institutional investors, no funding rounds, no acquisitions, and no public listing. Headcount is stated at 51-100 with approximately 14 individuals named across management, marketing, and image processing functions.
