Important Notes

  • Use a transparent PNG file, ideally 1200px by 1200px. Final size will vary depending on prop shape.

  • Placement points determine where on the face the prop will appear. These can be manually adjusted after upload.

  • Props are automatically enabled for all experiences once uploaded.

Prop Specifications

  • File format: PNG with transparent background

  • Recommended size: 1200px by 1200px (depending on prop shape)

  • Center your design in the canvas

  • Save with a clear, descriptive filename for easy management

Recommended Placement Points

Snappic uses facial detection to place props based on key points. Use the following placement types for best results. Selected points are displayed in green:

  • Glasses or Eye Masks
    Best suited for placement over the eyes.

  • Hats or Head Props (e.g. Bunny Ears)
    Best placed above the forehead and aligned with head-top reference points.

  • Beards
    Positioned around the jawline and chin.

  • Mustaches
    Best placed between the nose and upper lip.

  • Eyebrows
    Positioned just above the eyes for a natural look.

  • Nose Props
    Centered on the bridge and tip of the nose.

  • Under-Face Props (e.g. Bowties)
    Best placed under the chin.

Uploading Custom Props

  2. Go to Experiences and select or create an experience.

Editing and Positioning

  1. After uploading, use the green placement points to align the prop.

  2. Drag each point to its appropriate facial reference (e.g., eye corners, chin).
