About Us

Real edits. Real care. Since 2007.

It all started with a small favor

In 2007, our founder Howard came across a college forum post from a lady asking for help retouching a few engagement photos. He offered to help.

That small favor led to more requests, and soon, what started as a side project turned into a quiet, self-funded editing service — built on word of mouth, not marketing.

Since then, Tucia has worked with over 120,000 clients worldwide, handling everything from personal portraits to professional campaigns — always with the same care that started it all.

Built by humans, not just tools

While most editing tools today rely on presets and automation to scale quickly, we don't.

We actively research and test the latest tools — and probably understand their limits better than anyone. It's still far too early to expect them to finish a job from start to finish. Without human involvement, most photos simply wouldn't even come close to the quality our clients expect.

At Tucia, it's our editors — not the tools — who lead the process. Every photo is handled by a skilled professional who makes the key decisions, from start to finish. Tools help where they can, but it's the editor who brings everything together and ensures the image looks right.

Small team, consistent results

Tucia is operated by a small, full-time team and legally registered under Next Element Inc., a Canadian company based in British Columbia.

No call centers. No automated replies. Just direct communication and careful work by people who know what they're doing.

This level of care doesn't scale easily — but it matters. Real quality doesn't come from shortcuts. We take that complexity off your plate, so you can focus on what actually matters.

Being the biggest is never the goal. Being the most reliable is, always.
