## Description

**You need two things:** this plugin on your site, and the free [SnapPress app](https://apps.apple.com/app/snappress/id6759512374?ct=wporg-plugin&mt=8)
on your iPhone (iOS 17 or later). The plugin shows a QR code; the app scans it and
you are connected.

**SnapPress Connect** is the official companion plugin for [SnapPress](https://snappress.app)—
the iOS app that lets you **bulk upload photos from your iPhone directly to WordPress**.
This plugin generates a secure QR code so you can pair your WordPress site with 
the SnapPress app in seconds, no typing required.

Perfect for bloggers, photographers, and content creators who take photos on their
iPhone and publish to WordPress.

**Note:** SnapPress the iPhone app is made by 37design (Tokyo). It is not related
to SnapPress Labels or any label printing product.

**Why SnapPress?**

 * **Bulk upload** — Send up to 20 photos per batch with a single tap, and run as
   many batches as you need (vs. one-by-one via the WP admin)
 * **Automatic HEIC  JPEG conversion** — Every photo is converted to JPEG and resized
   on your iPhone (up to 4096px on the High Quality setting), so WordPress accepts
   it and your media library stays lean. [Learn more about HEIC compatibility ](https://snappress.app/blog/heic-photos-wordpress-iphone/)
 * **Location data stays on your phone** — Uploaded JPEGs carry no EXIF metadata
   such as GPS coordinates, so you never publish where a photo was taken
 * **Share Extension** — Upload straight from Photos, Safari, or any app via the
   iOS share sheet
 * **9 languages** — English, 日本語, Español, Deutsch, Português, Français, 한국어,
   Italiano, 繁體中文

**Features of this plugin:**

 * **One-tap setup** — Automatically creates a WordPress Application Password and
   generates a QR code
 * **Manual mode** — Use an existing Application Password to generate a QR code
 * **Secure** — Credential data is only shown on-screen temporarily and can be cleared
   instantly
 * **QR codes stay local** — they are generated entirely in your browser and never
   sent anywhere

**How it works:**

 1. Install and activate the plugin, then click **Connect iPhone** (or go to **Tools
    SnapPress Connect**)
 2. Install the free [SnapPress app](https://apps.apple.com/app/snappress/id6759512374?ct=wporg-plugin&mt=8)
    on your iPhone — scan the App Store QR code on the plugin page, or email yourself
    the link
 3. Click “Generate QR Code with One Tap”
 4. Scan the QR code with the SnapPress app
 5. Done! Start bulk uploading photos from your iPhone to WordPress

 * HTTPS enabled on your site (required for Application Passwords)
 * [SnapPress app](https://apps.apple.com/app/snappress/id6759512374?ct=wporg-plugin&mt=8)
   on your iPhone (iOS 17.0+)

**Privacy:**

This plugin sends nothing in the background. QR codes are generated entirely in 
your browser and never leave it.

The settings screen offers one optional form: if you cannot connect, you can send
us your email address, your site URL, your description of the problem, and the diagnostic
details shown on screen. It is sent only when you press the button, and the screen
shows you the exact text before you send it. We use it only to reply to you.

Read our [Privacy Policy](https://snappress.app/privacy/) for details on how SnapPress
handles your data.

## FAQ

### What is SnapPress?

SnapPress is an iOS app that lets you **bulk upload photos from your iPhone directly
to the WordPress media library**. Instead of uploading photos one at a time via 
the WP admin, you can send up to 20 photos with a single tap, as many times as you
like. It is made by 37design (Tokyo) and is not related to SnapPress Labels (label
printers). [Learn more about SnapPress](https://snappress.app/).

### Is SnapPress free?

The WordPress plugin (SnapPress Connect) is 100% free. The SnapPress iOS app is 
free to download and includes a free tier: 10 photos per month on one site. Standard(
$0.99/month or $4.99 one-time) removes the monthly limit. Pro ($1.99/month or $9.99
one-time) adds unlimited WordPress sites and video upload. Prices vary by country.
See [pricing details](https://snappress.app/#pricing).

### Do I need HTTPS?

Yes. WordPress Application Passwords require HTTPS to be enabled on your site. Most
modern hosts provide free SSL via Let’s Encrypt.

### Is the QR code safe?

The QR code contains your site URL, username, and an Application Password. It is
generated entirely in your browser and is never sent to any external server. Click“
Clear” after scanning to remove the code from the screen.

### Can I revoke access?

Yes. Go to **Users  Profile  Application Passwords** and delete the “SnapPress” 
entry to revoke access at any time.

### Does SnapPress support HEIC photos from iPhone?

Yes. SnapPress automatically converts HEIC (iPhone’s default format) to JPEG before
uploading so WordPress accepts them without issues. [Read the HEIC compatibility guide](https://snappress.app/blog/heic-photos-wordpress-iphone/).

### How many photos can I upload at once?

Up to 20 photos per batch. There is no limit on the number of batches, so 100 photos
is five taps. On the free tier the total is 10 photos per month. Upload speed depends
on your WordPress server and internet connection. [See the bulk upload guide](https://snappress.app/blog/bulk-upload-images-wordpress-phone/).

### Can I use it without Jetpack?

Yes. SnapPress does not require Jetpack. It uses the standard WordPress REST API
with Application Passwords. [See the Jetpack-free workflow](https://snappress.app/blog/upload-photos-wordpress-without-jetpack/).

### Does it work with Elementor, Divi, or other page builders?

Yes. SnapPress uploads to the standard WordPress media library, so uploaded photos
are available in any theme, page builder, or block editor.

### Is an Android version available?

Not yet. SnapPress is currently iPhone-only (iOS 17 or later). Follow [snappress.app](https://snappress.app/)
for updates.

### What languages are supported?

SnapPress supports 9 languages: English, 日本語 ([日本語ブログ](https://snappress.app/ja/blog/)),
Español ([Blog en Español](https://snappress.app/es/blog/)), Deutsch ([Blog auf Deutsch](https://snappress.app/de/blog/)),

## Changelog

#### 1.5.0

 * Added a “Connect iPhone” link next to the plugin in the Plugins list, so the 
   setup screen is one click away
 * Added a one-time setup reminder on the Plugins screen after activation (dismissible;
   it disappears once you open the setup screen)
 * Added “Email me the App Store link” on the setup screen for people who read wp-

 * Added banner and screenshots to the WordPress.org listing

#### 1.4.1

 * Fixed the App Store QR code not appearing on the settings screen. The QR library
   loads in the footer, so the drawing code now waits for the page to finish parsing

 * Added an optional “ask us for help” form for sites that cannot connect. It shows
   you the exact diagnostic text before sending and transmits only when you press
   the button
 * Nothing is sent in the background, and the form is never shown as a dashboard-
   wide notice

#### 1.3.0

 * Added a scannable QR code that opens the SnapPress App Store page, so you can
   install the iPhone app without typing a URL

   the site
 * Replaced the remotely hosted App Store badge with a locally generated QR code
   and a plain link (no third-party requests from wp-admin)
 * Corrected the free tier description: it allows 10 photos per month, not 10 upload
   sessions

#### 1.2.3

 * Added diagnostic notice when Application Passwords are unavailable — now shows
   the specific plugin or theme causing the issue and actionable steps to fix it

#### 1.2.2

 * Updated plugin description and FAQ with additional setup guides
