Clear limits make a better research tool. Here is what StampSnap is designed to do — and when a physical expert still matters.
What details can StampSnap identify?
A result may include country, issue year, denomination, color, printing method, paper, size, perforations, theme, rarity, and an informational estimated market value, depending on what is visible in the photo.
Are estimated values official appraisals?
No. Values are informational estimates. Condition, authenticity, demand, and physical characteristics can change the market result, so important items should be inspected by a qualified philatelic expert.
Can I organize and export my collection?
Yes. Save stamps in folders, review collection insights, and export records as PDF or CSV for your own research, sharing, or backup workflow.
Is StampSnap available on iPhone and Android?
Yes. StampSnap is available from the Apple App Store and Google Play.
