If this is your first time using the Plnar Snap app, take a moment to watch the video below that walks through the basic flow for room capture.
Getting Started with the Plnar Snap App
Before you begin capturing your space with the Plnar Snap app, here are a few quick tips to help you get the best results:
Let in the light: Bright spaces make for better photos. Open blinds or curtains to maximize natural light.
Stay relaxed: Just like taking regular photos—let the camera focus before snapping.
Keep it smooth: A steady hand helps reduce blur and ensures high-quality photos.
Starting Your Capture
Tap the orange (+) button to begin.
Choose one of the following options:
Capture Interior | Room
Capture Exterior | Area
Add Extra Photos
Important: Every project must include at least one Interior or Exterior capture. The Add Extra Photos option is only meant to supplement those core captures with additional context—it cannot replace them.
Interior Capture Flow
The app will guide you through capturing all the key parts of the room:
Start by photographing the floor corners (also called the floor perimeter)
Capture important room details, any visible damage, and the ceiling
Wrap up with a 360° video of the room
Repeat this process in each affected room.
Exterior Capture Flow
When capturing an exterior area:
Select the exterior area you’ll be documenting (e.g., Deck, Fences, Yard, Siding etc.)
Take at least 2 photos of that area to complete the capture
The Front of Property area is the only exception—it requires only 1 photo to submit.
Repeat for any additional exterior areas as needed.
Adding Extra Photos
Once you’ve completed at least one Interior or Exterior capture, you can add any additional photos from your device’s gallery:
Tap the orange (+) again
Select “Add Extra Photos”
Upload any supporting images to provide extra context
This is especially helpful for showing detailed damage, materials, or surrounding conditions.
Submitting Your Project
When you're finished:
Tap the orange “Submit Project” button
Stick around to view the confirmation screen—this ensures your project was successfully submitted
