Frequently asked questions

Is the photo uploaded?

No. Capture happens via getUserMedia API (browser native) and Canvas. The photo never touches the network.

Why does it ask permission?

Browsers require explicit consent before any site can access camera/microphone. You can revoke permission via the lock icon in the address bar.

No camera detected?

Click "Start" first to trigger the permission prompt — the camera list populates only after grant. If still empty, check OS-level camera privacy settings (especially macOS, which adds a second permission layer).

Works on phone?

Yes. iOS Safari and Android Chrome both support getUserMedia. By default, mobile opens the front-facing camera.

Output format?

PNG (lossless). For JPG, capture then convert via the Base64 tool or any image converter.
