Start with the clues a collector can actually see
A useful identification begins with observable evidence: the issuing country, denomination, inscriptions, portrait or subject, dominant color, perforations, cancellation, and overall format. StampSnap reads those clues together and presents a likely result without forcing you to begin with a catalog number you do not know.
The result can include country, approximate issue year, denomination, color, printing method, paper and perforation details where they are visible. Similar-looking stamps can differ in small ways, so the app is designed to give you a practical starting point rather than pretend that one photograph replaces specialist examination.
Move from identification to a record you can use
Once a result looks right, save it to your collection instead of repeating the same search later. Add the stamp to a folder, keep its image with the identification, and build a searchable record for a country, era, topic, inherited album, or dealer lot.
Use AI as a shortlist, then verify important finds
Clear, straight photographs on a plain background produce the most useful results. For look-alike issues, compare perforations, watermark, paper, overprints, and catalog notes. If authenticity or high value matters, ask a qualified philatelic expert to inspect the physical stamp.
Available wherever you sort your collection
StampSnap is available for iPhone and Android. Use the camera at a show or market, import a photograph while researching online, and return to the saved record when you are organizing at home.
