Solar Snap

Everything you need for the next solar eclipse, all in one app!

Introducing Solar Snap: a camera filter + app combo that can help you take amazing photos of the sun, whether there’s an eclipse, or any other day. Simply attach the filter to your phone, open Solar Snap, and snap away! Solar Snap also includes an interactive, global solar eclipse simulator, with detailed information and times to prepare you for the next eclipse, no matter where you are or where you are going!

Solar Snap can be used with our Solar Snap filter kit available at: https://www.eclipseglasses.com/products/solar-snap-the-eclipse-app. This filter protects your phone camera from damage by the bright sun. You may optionally re-use old eclipse glasses by cutting a pair in half and taping it over your camera lens.

Video instructions by Astronomer Doug Duncan included in the app.

Total solar eclipses are crossing Europe on August 12, 2026 and the Middle East in 2027. Get ready!
