Snap Decoder
No more fumbling with clumsy calipers and scraps of papers, let Snap Decoder take all the hassle out of decoding keys for you.
Snap Decoder integrates directly with InstaCode Live for Android! Simply open the Find Bitting interface in InstaCode Live for Android, and the SnapDecoder logo will appear in the top right of the menu-bar if the series can be decoded! This allows InstaCode Live for Android users to decode up to 6500 key series!
The app also come pre-loaded with a sample of common key series for non-InstaCode Live for Android users to use, including various single sided, double sided keys, track, channel and laser keys! Key blank references provided for Keyline, Silca, Ilco and JMA key blanks. No need to search for equivalent key blanks online!
Select the key blank of your key, take a quick snap and read the bitting in record time.
Snap Decoder is programmed with proprietary key edge detection algorithms. If your photo is on a plain, white background and in focus, the app will detect all the features of the key and calculate the bitting in seconds.
Sometimes, shadows cause false edges or a locksmith may have filed down the tip of the key. Snap Decoder provides you the tools to rapidly account for these discrepancies and have your key decoded accurately every time.
Then, send the bitting to InstaCode Live for Android to convert the bitting into the code and cut the key in a flash (on one of the InstaCode Live for Android supported key machines).

This acurately enough decoded my Kwikset and Schlage keys. I wish there were more key types! Also please allow loading pictures from storage. Many times I don't have a chance to go theough the wholw process.
Not bad but with no ability to use photos from gallery or messages, you need to have the key there and take a photo each time so basically useless. But fun.
Fairly good. There are only three things that are missing: select photo from gallery, save the combination and most importantly: add custom series. Please.
Was a useful field tool. The Current version keeps crashing and won't open. We'll have to go back to other decoding tools. TX C licensed locksmith.
UPDATE! IT WORKS WITH ANDROID 12! GREAT JOB 👍
Would rate 5 if ability to load existing image was added. Otherwise it's a great app, very convenient and straight forward.
What is the point of this app if it cannot upload photos to decode? If I have the key at hand, I might as well go ahead and duplicate it without snap decoder
This app saved me from having to throw out a $50 lock cylinder since I didn't have the key code! Thank you so very much to the maker(s) of this app!
Crashes on opening camera. Pixel 3a, running the most recent version of android. C'mon, people have been leaving similar reviews for three months...
**Don't intsall** After installing this application, the only response I ever got from it was that it failed to load. I've never seen the apps interface.
Not compatible with current android software. App will not open at all.
Crashes on launch. Couldn't even try it.. "Snap Decoder keeps stopping"
Needs gallery load. Barely useable as you have to send the picture to another device and screenshot it to get the picture.
Used to work, not opening anymore on note20 ultra 5g, happy to help devs with compatability troubleshooting, reach out to me
The app keeps crashing as soon as I try and open it.
App will not even open for me at all. Absolutely 0 usage so I have no idea how useful it would have been.
Crashes, doesn't open. S21 Ultra on Android 12.
App automatically crashes in android version 12 on Galaxy S21. The app worked perfectly on my S9
App keeps crashing since 2 Android updates ago.
Not bad for a free decoder! I wish it included 7 cut Corbin's and Best keys.
Crashed after installing I think it's a bug
Amazing idea however crashes whenever I try to open the camera to take a picture of a key
Crashes as soon as the camera attempts to open.
Please allow the use of pictures on camera roll!
Awful don't waste your time, just constantly freezes
Can't find pictures taken in app. Had to take pics with Camera app, then snap random object in Snap Decoder then use pic from Gallery. Could not figure out how to orient key image. Bow to left or right? Cuts up or down? Not worth the trouble.
