Need a quick profile picture, a photo for a form or a snapshot to send to someone? Use the camera you already have – laptop webcam, USB camera or phone – right in the browser. A countdown timer gives you time to pose, filters add a finishing touch, and you can take several shots and keep the best.
Common uses
- Take profile photos for work, school and social accounts.
- Snap a quick photo for forms or ID verification drafts.
- Test that your webcam works before a video call.
- Capture pictures of objects, notes or whiteboards.
Tips for best results
- Face a window or lamp for even light on your face.
- Use the 3 or 5 second timer to avoid a shaky click.
- Choose Full HD if your camera supports it for sharper photos.
- Turn off mirroring when photographing documents.
Camera permission and privacy
The browser asks for permission before the camera turns on, and the light next to your webcam shows when it is active. Images are captured from the live video into a canvas on your device; nothing is uploaded or stored, and the camera stops when you leave the page.
Resolution
The tool requests the resolution you choose, and the camera delivers the closest it supports. The status line shows the actual resolution, such as 1280×720, so you know what you will get.

Frequently asked questions
Why does my photo look mirrored
Most people expect a mirror image when they see themselves on screen, so mirroring is on by default. Untick it if you are photographing text or documents so they read correctly.
Can I use an external camera
