Frequently Asked Questions

What is SnapSign?

SnapSign is an all-in-one digital signature app created specifically for models, photographers, filmmakers, and agencies. It simplifies and automates the process of creating, signing, managing, and sharing legally binding Model Releases and Property Releases.

Whether you're working with stock photos, stock videos, or managing freelance shoots, SnapSign ensures your documents are always professional, accurate, and compliant with the strict standards of top stock agencies - including Getty Images, Shutterstock, and Adobe Stock.

SnapSign is purpose-built for handling model and property releases, making it the perfect tool for anyone needing quick, reliable, and industry-approved legal documents in creative production workflows.

What types of document templates are available in SnapSign?

SnapSign comes with a comprehensive library of ready-made contract templates covering common use cases like:

  • Simple model release
  • Standard Model Releases
  • Advanced model release
  • Getty Images model release
  • Minor Model Releases (with guardian signature)
  • NFT model release
  • Property releases
  • Getty Images property release
  • Free text contact
  • Custom model release

These templates are available in 9 different languages, making them perfect for international productions. Each template is tailored to meet the legal and technical standards of major stock agencies like Getty Images, Adobe Stock, and Shutterstock. You can use them immediately or personalize them to suit specific projects.

Can I create my own contract?

Yes! SnapSign gives you full flexibility to:

  • Customize any of the provided templates to match your brand or legal preferences;
  • Create contracts from scratch using your own wording and structure;
  • Save your custom versions as new templates to reuse in future sessions.

This feature is especially useful for professionals working with unique agreements, recurring collaborators, or agency-specific terms.

Is the signed document secure and tamper-proof?

Yes. Once a contract is signed in SnapSign, it becomes locked and tamper-proof - meaning no one can alter it after the signature has been applied.

To ensure full transparency and trust, we’ve developed a built-in PDF Contract Validator. This tool allows you (or any third party) to verify the authenticity and integrity of a signed document, confirming that:

  • It was created and signed in SnapSign;
  • It has not been modified in any way since the signature;
  • All data remains exactly as it was at the time of signing.

You can validate documents directly within the SnapSign app or use our web-based tool.

This feature is essential for legal clarity, agency submissions, and professional documentation.

Does SnapSign include a model database?

Yes! In SnapSign, you can easily create and maintain your own model database directly in the app.

You can:

  • Add and store model profiles (including name, birthdate, contact details, guardian information for minors, etc.);
  • Instantly autofill contracts with saved model data;
  • Keep a full history of signed documents linked to each model;
  • Quickly search, edit, and manage your models whenever needed.

This gives photographers, modeling agencies, and creatives full control over their talent records, making recurring shoots and contract signing much faster and easier.

How are contracts signed?

Contracts are signed using a secure digital signature system that works both:

  • In-app (on the mobile version of SnapSign);
  • Online, through a web link sent to the signer via email - perfect for remote signings.

The signer is guided through a simple and intuitive interface. Before signing, they can review the entire document and update any personal data (name, email, address, etc.) to ensure accuracy and compliance.

How can I share a signed document?

Once a contract is signed:

  • It is instantly converted to a PDF, stored in your SnapSign archive;
  • You can download the PDF to your device;
  • Or share it via email, messaging apps (like WhatsApp or Telegram), or save it to cloud storage platforms like Google Drive or Dropbox.

This ensures fast and secure delivery to clients, agencies, or platforms.

Is SnapSign compatible with stock agency requirements?

Absolutely. SnapSign’s templates and output files are designed to meet the strict submission requirements of:

  • Getty Images
  • iStock
  • Adobe Stock
  • Shutterstock
  • And other major content platforms

In fact, Getty Images has officially confirmed that SnapSign’s model and property releases are fully acceptable (including Enhanced Releases) when properly completed. This saves you from rejected submissions and ensures smooth licensing of your creative work.

Does SnapSign support NFT model releases?

Yes. SnapSign is ahead of the curve by supporting NFT model releases - helping protect model rights in the Web3 and digital art space.

If you're minting photos or videos as NFTs, SnapSign ensures that your releases are legally binding and future-proof, especially for use on platforms like Exchange.Art, Foundation, and Zora.

Can participants sign remotely?

Yes, and it's extremely convenient. With SnapSign:

  • You can send a secure signing link to any participant via email;
  • The signer can open the document in their browser - no account or app installation needed;
  • The signature is legally binding and timestamped;
  • You’ll receive a notification once it’s signed.

This makes SnapSign ideal for remote teams, international collaborations, and last-minute agreements.

Can signers edit their personal info before signing?

Yes. Whether signing in the app or via the web version, signers have the option to:

  • Review their personal information (like name, date of birth, contact details);
  • Make real-time edits before applying their signature;
  • Ensure the final signed PDF reflects the correct and up-to-date data.

This prevents typos, mismatches, and potential contract rejections from agencies or clients.

Which platforms support SnapSign?

SnapSign supports both iOS and Android devices.

You can download the app from the Apple App Store and the Google Play Store, making it easy to use across iPhones, iPads, and Android phones or tablets.

Additionally, SnapSign offers a web version for remote signers.
