Webcam Snapper

Instant webcam photo uploads for your website

80% of Facebook users have a webcam installed

Webcams have become an essential tool in almost all laptops with popular messaging and communication applications like Skype and MSN Messenger featuring webcam video chat. They are also a cheap accessory for desktop computer users to add to their system, and very simple to install.

Online Trust

Is user verification an essential part of your business?

Many websites rely on their users' identity to be verified in order to create trust, especially when it comes to the exchange of money or even to ensure physical safety. Snapper is ideal for helping you build trust that your users are who they say they are.

A webcam photo taken whilst the user is logged into their account is far more likely to be authentic. Combined with other forms of verification it can be used to build up a comprehensive user trust profile. For examples of how this can be done take a look at the airbnb trust and safety center

Some of our customers take this even further using Snapper to verify ID cards, driving licenses, and passport details as required by law. For this particular use case we have developed a special version of Snapper Pro that captures multiple high resolution snaps. These can then be merged and enhanced using advanced server side image processing. Get in touch to find out more about how we can help your business.

User Profiles

Bored of seeing placeholder images on user profiles?

When you are creating a new profile on a site you don't always have access to your digital photos or they may not be appropriate to the context. With Snapper you can create a profile picture immediately and move on to interacting with the community you are joining. There should be no reason for incomplete profiles anymore.

Minimising the chances of drop-off during the sign-up process should be one of the highest priorities for website owners. Why risk the chance that a user will give up on registering if they don't have a photo? Eliminate, "I'll come back to this next week" and implement Snapper today!

Dating Websites

How can you ensure authenticity when everyone flatters to deceive?

One of the biggest problems facing dating sites is that people often upload outdated or fake photos. It's misleading, disappointing and ultimately reflects badly on the website. Snapper can be used to help improve the authenticity of dating profiles by date stamping the images the moment they are created.

In addition, how many people have a photo of themselves that is ideal for online dating? Namely, not in a group situation, facing the front, clearly in focus and with a nice expression. Think about it. How often have you had that kind of photo taken? Graduation? First day at work? Passport? Snapper gives you the perfect chance to take a great photo and you can try it as many times as you like to get it just right.

PS: The effects and filters in the widget can be easily turned off if you don't require them.

Competitions & Marketing

How do you capture the user the moment you first engage them?

Photo competitions or User Generated Contests are a popular and fun way for brands to engage with their target audience. Snapper works because users don't need to deal with digital cameras. They can take a snap in an instant and join the competition, zero fuss. More engagement and less drop off leads to more effective campaigns, and ultimately, more ROI for you.

Inspiring your audience to create content around your brand massively increases the likelihood of them advocating your message to their own community by sharing and promoting the fruits of their labour, especially if they need votes to win! Use Snapper in your campaigns to bolster viral activity and help spread the word.

Social Networks & Photo Sharing

How can you capture a visual moment or mood in real time?

People love sharing photos, so much that almost 2.5 billion photos are uploaded to facebook each month. Many of those are taken using webcams, yet most sites don't offer the ability for users to use their webcams to take photos.

The webcam is the modern day Photobooth. It's a fun way to capture and communicate moments in time. Just take a look at Dailybooth (a Snapper client) to see what we mean! Users have developed new, inventive ways of conveying messages and emotions with their webcams. We built (optional) filters and effects into the widget to expand the possibilities of what people can create. Add Snapper to your social network and unleash the creativity of your audience!
