Adjust your photo booth experience with custom visuals, interaction settings, and flow modifications from your Preset settings.

⚠️ Not all features are available on all plans—see notes throughout or feature comparison chart at the end for details on availability.


App Appearance

These settings control the overall visual aesthetic of your booth interface.

Start Screen Colors

  • Adjust the font and background color for your start screen. Use a hex code or our color picker.

📍Note: Start screen colors will be disabled if you’ve uploaded a custom start screen or applied a theme.

App Backgrounds

  • Add full-screen custom background images to enhance branding or match your event’s theme

Custom Start Screen

  • Replace the default start screen with your own custom graphic

  • Include clear instructions like “Tap to Start” for usability

  • Video start screens are also supported

📍Note: A custom start screen will override any theme in use

Themes

  • Use pre-made themes to apply a stylized start screen and overlay to your booth

📍Note: Themes will be disabled if a custom start screen is uploaded

Booth Color Scheme

  • Choose between light mode or dark mode

  • This theme will apply to transition pages within the app


Gallery Styling

While not technically part of the booth itself, the online gallery (where participants view and share their photos) can also be customized for a cohesive experience.


App Interactions

These settings affect how participants interact with the booth and move through each session.

Touchless Mode

📍Note: Some features (like edit tools and data capture) are disabled in Touchless Mode

Camera & Countdown Settings

  • Camera: choose from the front or rear camera.

    Front camera is recommended so participants can see themselves and navigate more easily

  • Countdown Seconds: A visible countdown between each frame to help participants prepare

  • Delay Seconds: Hidden countdown that runs only before the first frame, giving participants extra setup time

  • Get Ready Prompt: Displays the layout type before the delay, helping participants understand how to pose


Data Capture

Add a participant info form at the final step of the session.

  • Automatically sends an email or text when those fields are enabled

  • ⚠️ Available on Pro & Select plans


Age Gate

Add a custom age verification step before participants can use the booth.

  • Set the minimum age requirement

  • Participants enter their birthdate before proceeding


Send Options

Customize which sharing methods are available at the end of the session:
