System Requirements

Use this page to decide whether your target audience can reliably complete the LIQA capture flow. The requirements focus on the client outcome: a smooth mobile experience, enough camera quality for analysis, and enough device performance for real-time guidance.

LIQA is primarily designed to be utilized on modern smartphone (mobile) devices in web environment. The provided information is valid for the moment of writing - Q2 2026.

For clinic, salon, booth, kiosk, and other physical capture setups, see the On-Site Setup guide.

Requirements for Device

Device Requirements

Requirement	Minimum	Recommended
Operating system	iOS 16.0+ / Android 12+	iOS 16.4+ / Android 13+
Camera	Rear-facing and front-facing cameras (rear with autofocus)	Rear-facing and front-facing cameras (rear with autofocus)
Camera resolution	5 MP+	8 MP+
WebAssembly	WebAssembly support	WebAssembly SIMD support
Graphics	WebGL2 support	WebGL2 support

You can screen participants' phones from your app before showing LIQA with the checkDeviceCapability() method — it reports whether the device is capable together with the reasons for any failed checks. The screen verifies a phone-class device, the operating system version (iOS at the Recommended 16.4+, Android at the Minimum 12+), the browser features LIQA needs (including WebAssembly SIMD and WebGL2), and — where the browser reports it — an approximate device-memory floor. Pass { camera: true } to also verify on Android that the front camera meets the Minimum 5 MP resolution.

Example devices meeting recommended requirements

Manufacturer	Recommended devices
Apple	iPhone 11 and newer
Samsung	Galaxy S21 and newer
Samsung	Galaxy A54 and newer
Xiaomi	Xiaomi 12 and newer
Xiaomi	Redmi Note 12 Pro and newer
Google	Pixel 6 and newer

Desktops

LIQA is not recommended for usage on desktop devices in production because desktop setups often reduce the user success rate and final image quality. There are 2 main reasons:

1. Insufficient resolution of majority of embedded web cameras, see limitations.
2. Usually stationary positioning of the desktop device limiting the end-user capabilities to improve the light and position.

If your setup allows to overcome the problems mentioned above, it might be possible to effectively use LIQA on desktop. For most desktop products, consider Two-Device Flow so users can start on desktop and capture with a phone camera. Please, check the supported browsers list.

Limitations

Here is a list of the investigated limitations that should be taken into account when choosing LIQA for your target audience.

Limitation	Explanation
Insufficient camera resolution	Camera must have min 5 MP resolution for correct texture representation
Required OS version is not supported	iOS 16.0+ and Android 12+ are required. See more details in the list of supported browsers
Insufficient RAM amount	iOS-powered devices must have min 3 GB RAM, Android-powered devices min 6 GB RAM for AI execution
Insufficient performance	CPU+GPU/NPU must have enough computational resources for AI execution

Requirements for Environment

Supported browsers

Here is an upper-level overview of supported popular browsers. Use this table when estimating launch coverage for your users or when triaging capture issues reported from a specific browser.

Browser	Browser Versions	Functionality Status	Known Issues
Safari Mobile	16.3-16.7, 17.0-17.3	✅ Functional	-
Safari Mobile	16.1, 16.2	✅ Functional	🟨 No focus auto-switch feature for back camera
Chrome	last 5 versions	✅ Functional	-
Samsung Internet	21-25	✅ Functional	-
Firefox	last 5 versions	✅ Functional	-
Edge	last 5 versions	✅ Functional	-

Container size

LIQA fills the container it is placed in. For the capture UI to render correctly, give the container a height of at least 600px and the full available width. Embedding LIQA in a smaller container can cause layout issues with the AR guidance and controls.
