I needed a simple way to allow users to upload a webcam selfie but was unable to find any straight forward or free option. There are a ton of paid to verify services but I don't need quite that level of security so have been working on this simple PHP, HTML and JS "web app" to upload/send a selfie.

- Frontend: HTML5, CSS3 for layout and styling, JavaScript for webcam access and image capture.
- Backend: PHP for handling image uploads and server-side processing.
- Storage: Images can be saved on the server or processed according to application needs.
