What body measurements does the scan produce?+
The scan produces a 10,000-point 3D body model, so any circumference or length between any points on the body can be generated. Standard outputs include chest, waist, hips, thighs, biceps, forearms, calves, neck, shoulder width, inseam, and full torso lengths. Each platform defines the measurement set its product needs: build a custom measurement profile in the live demo, export it as JSON, and send it to us — every scan through your integration then returns those measurements.
How do apparel brands use body scanning to reduce returns?+
Size and fit are the leading reason clothing bought online is sent back. Apparel brands and e-commerce platforms integrate SnapMeasureAI so customers can capture precise body measurements from two smartphone photos in about 10 seconds, inside the brand's own site or app. Those measurements drive size recommendations and made-to-measure orders, cutting size-related returns and the cost of processing them.
How does remote uniform sizing work?+
Uniform suppliers, rental programs, and employers send staff a scan link or embed the scan in their ordering portal. Each wearer takes two smartphone photos in their everyday work clothes, and the supplier receives 100+ measurements and a 3D body model, ready to map to their size chart or made-to-measure patterns. No fitting days, no travelling fitters, and fewer remakes and exchanges.
How does SnapMeasureAI help GLP-1 and weight-loss programs?+
GLP-1 medications change waist, hips, and proportions in ways a scale never shows. Telehealth platforms and weight-loss programs integrate the scan so patients take two photos at home and receive a 3D body model and 100+ measurements, compared scan-to-scan over months. The visible change gives patients a reason to stay on the program, and photos are deleted after processing — the measurement history stays in the program's own system.
How does SnapMeasureAI integrate with our platform?+
Through one REST API: your platform sends two photos and a height, and receives the 3D body model plus the measurement set you specify, as structured data. You can embed the capture flow and the interactive 3D viewer in your own app or website, fully white-labelled, or call the endpoint from your own front end. Dedicated cloud and on-premise deployment are available for enterprise agreements.
How accurate is the body scan compared to tape measurements?+
Average accuracy is 97% in everyday clothing, across 18 standard measurements, tested on people photographed in varied clothing and compared with 3D body scans. For context, reliability studies of trained measurers using a tape report waist measurement errors of 1.3–6.5 cm, and the body itself changes through the day. Results are best in fitted clothing, with arms slightly away from the body, and every scan is measured the same way, so results don't depend on who holds the tape. The best test is your own: try the free live demo, or run a pilot that compares scans with your current measurements.
Do users need special equipment or clothing?+
No special equipment — any smartphone camera works. Fitted clothing gives the best results, but users don't need to change: jeans, shorts, T-shirts and other everyday clothes work too (take off coats and bulky layers). For the best accuracy, stand in an A-pose, arms slightly away from the body, for both the front and side photos. Raising the arms lifts the shirt at the waist and chest, which can make the chest measure larger, and blocks the head in the side photo. The technology handles any body type, skin tone, and background — no controlled environment is required.
How is user data and privacy handled?+
Photos submitted for scanning are processed immediately and deleted — they are not stored or retained. No personally identifiable information is linked to the scan data. Enterprise customers can discuss custom data handling agreements, including on-premise or dedicated cloud deployments.
How can we evaluate it before integrating?+
Run the free live demo at demo.snapmeasureai.com — it is the same scan your users would get. Upload two photos and see the 3D body model and measurements the API returns, in about 10 seconds. For API access, a technical walkthrough, licensing, or a pilot, contact info@snapmeasureai.com.
