01 — How it works

Three taps from
any selfie to submission-ready.

No passport-photo booths. No Photoshop. The whole pipeline — detection, segmentation, crop, validation, export — runs entirely on your phone in under four seconds.

STEP 01

Snap or pick a photo.

Use the in-app camera with live face-framing guides, or import any shot from your library. The app checks framing, pose, eyes, and blur before you export.

Before
After
STEP 02

We auto-correct the frame.

Face detection locates your eyes, head, and chin. Background segmentation cleans to white — or the specific red, blue, or grey your document requires.

Compliant
STEP 03

Export to exact spec.

Save a digital copy for online portals, generate a 4×6-print layout with crop marks, or come back later from local history to re-export or delete a shot.

02 — Specifications

Every spec. Every tolerance.
Audited and kept current.

SpecSnap ships with the exact dimensions, face-height ratios, eye-line positions, file-size caps, and background colour requirements for 57 document types. Swap between them in one tap — the photo revalidates live.

The same checks the authority will run — before you submit.

  • Face height & eye line measured from the pupil midpoint with sub-pixel accuracy, clamped to the tolerance range your authority publishes.
  • Background colour checked across a sampled grid — catches gradients and fringe from poor segmentation (ΔE < 3 against spec).
  • File-size ceiling enforced per-spec — recompressed silently for sub-60 KB e-visa portals, lossless for print.
  • Sharpness & expression guards warn on blur, closed eyes, or non-neutral expressions before you export.
04 — Privacy by default

Your face never leaves
your phone.

SpecSnap runs face detection and background removal locally using on-device ML. No upload. No account required. No server copies. The only network call the app makes is for in-app purchases.

On-device processing

Face detection, background segmentation, and compliance checks all run locally. Nothing about your photo is transmitted.

No account, no email

Open and shoot. SpecSnap doesn't make you sign up. Your local history stays on your device, so you can revisit, re-export, or delete past photos anytime.

Free to download

SpecSnap is free to download and try every spec — no sign-up, no subscription. The preview is watermarked; a clean, watermark-free photo is a one-time in-app purchase per shot on iPhone and Android.

Server uploads

Your image bytes are processed entirely on your device's secure enclave and neural engine.

05 — Questions

Before you download.

Will my photo actually be accepted by the authority?
Availability depends on the document and submission route. Enabled routes check the supported dimensions, framing and file constraints. Singapore Passport / IC and Visa provide original-photo guidance without edited generation or export. No automated check guarantees acceptance; follow the official instructions.
Which documents are supported today?
57 photo presets across 22 regions: Singapore — Passport / IC, Visa, Work Pass, Driving Licence, International Driving Permit (IDP); Malaysia — Passport, eVISA (Social Visit), Employment Pass, Driving Licence (Print); Indonesia — Passport, e-Visa / e-VoA, Visa (35×45 mm), Visa (4×6 cm), KTP (Odd birth year), KTP (Even birth year); Thailand — Passport, Visa, e-Visa (Digital), Work Permit; Philippines — Passport, Visa (2×2 in), General ID (2×2 in), NBI Clearance; Vietnam — e-Visa; Laos — e-Visa; Japan — Passport, Visa, Residence Card / Status; Taiwan — Passport, Visitor Visa (Tourism); Hong Kong — Passport (Print), Passport (Digital upload), Visa / Entry Permit; New Zealand — Passport; United States — Passport, Visa (DS-160), Diversity Visa Lottery; Schengen Area — Visa; Australia — Passport, Citizenship; India — Passport, Visa, e-Visa / e-VoA, OCI, PAN Card; United Kingdom — Passport, Visa / Permission; Mexico — Visa (2×2 in); China — Visa; Saudi Arabia — Tourist eVisa (Visit Saudi); United Arab Emirates — Visa; Canada — Passport, Visa / Permit, Permanent Resident Card; South Korea — Passport, Visa, Residence Card (ARC). Use the country and document filters above to find the exact preset you need.
Does SpecSnap upload my photo anywhere?
No. Face detection and background removal use on-device ML models bundled with the app. Your photo, the extracted face landmarks, and the final crop all stay in app-local storage. The only network calls the app makes are to fetch optional app updates — the photo pipeline itself is 100% local.
Can I use ChatGPT or Gemini to generate my passport photo?
We don't recommend it, and most authorities won't accept it. AI image generators redraw your face — they don't preserve the actual person in the photo. Passport, visa, and ID guidance from ICAO and a growing list of national authorities (including the US, effective 2026) explicitly rejects AI-generated or AI-edited photos for this reason. Generative models also can't reliably honor the exact specifications each document requires — face-height ratios, eye-line positions, background colours, output dimensions, or file-size caps. SpecSnap doesn't generate your face. It detects, removes the background, composites the spec-required colour, and crops to the official ratios — entirely on your device, never uploaded.
What phones does it run on?
SpecSnap is available on iPhone with iOS 15.5 or later, and on Android via Google Play. On supported devices, processing typically takes 2–4s, with older hardware taking a bit longer. All processing is on-device.
How much does SpecSnap cost?
SpecSnap is free to download and try every spec. The on-screen preview is watermarked; to save or share a clean, watermark-free photo, pay a one-time in-app purchase per shot on iPhone or Android. No subscription, no sign-up.
