📸 Building Snap Picker — A Beautiful Animated Image Picker for Flutter

Most Flutter image picker packages work…

But let’s be honest — most of them look outdated, basic, and boring.

So I decided to build something modern.

Introducing Snap Picker ✨

A beautiful animated image picker for Flutter with:

• custom gallery UI
• multi image selection
• camera support
• full screen image preview
• upload flow
• smooth interactions
• modern premium design

🚀 Why I Built Snap Picker

I wanted an image picker that felt like:

• Instagram
• Snapchat
• modern social apps

Instead of:

• plain system UI
• outdated design
• poor UX

So I built a custom image picker experience completely in Flutter.

✨ Features

✅ Custom Gallery Picker
✅ Multi Image Selection
✅ Camera Support
✅ Full Screen Image Preview
✅ Swipe Between Images
✅ Zoom Support
✅ Upload Progress UI
✅ Remove Selected Images
✅ Draggable Bottom Sheet
✅ Smooth Animations
✅ Modern UI Design

📦 Installation

Add this to your pubspec.yaml:

dependencies:
  snap_picker: ^0.0.1

Then run:

flutter pub get

⚡ Usage

Using Snap Picker is simple:

SnapPicker.show(
  context,
  allowMultiple: true,
  maxSelection: 5,
  onImagesSelected: (images) {
    print(images.length);
  },
);

🖼️ Beautiful Preview Grid

SnapPickerPreview(
  images: selectedImages,
  onRemove: removeImage,
)

Users can:

• preview images
• remove images
• tap images for full screen view
• zoom and swipe between images

🎨 The Goal

I didn’t want to create:

“just another image picker”

I wanted to create:

“an image picker developers actually enjoy using.”

🔥 What’s Coming Next

Future updates planned:

• 🎞️ Video Support
• 🫧 Gooey Animations
• 🔄 Reorder Images
• 📂 Album Selector
• 🌈 Glassmorphism UI
• ⚡ Faster Lazy Loading
• 🎨 Full Theme Customization

❤️ Final Thoughts

Building Snap Picker was such a fun experience because it combined:

• Flutter animations
• UI design
• real-world UX

This package started as a small idea…
and slowly became a polished image picker experience.

If you’re building Flutter packages:
start small, focus on UI/UX, and keep improving version by version 🚀
