How Our Photo Booth Apps Work

HALO and Classic are iPad apps designed to function as open-air photo booths. Every participant follows the same simple steps when interacting with your booth.

As the host, you'll first customize the experience by selecting the picture customizations, editing, and sharing methods available to participants.

Once set up, the booth runs automatically, guiding users through the steps below.



1. Tap To Start

The app will display a "Tap to Start" screen between sessions, making it clear how participants can begin. Depending on your settings, they may also have the option to choose their layout type at this stage.

After a brief countdown, the app captures the photo(s) and moves on to the next step.

💡 Certain plans allow you to customize the start screen!

2. Photo Editing

Once the photo(s) are taken, participants can make edits based on the options you enable. You control which editing tools are available, or you can disable all edits entirely.

A retake button (located in the upper left corner) is always available, ensuring participants can retry if they’re not happy with their image.

3. Sharing & Data Capture

After editing, participants reach the sharing screen, where they can send their photos to themselves via text, email, or QR code. If you enable printing, they can also print a copy.

If your booth is on a Pro or Select plan, you can activate data capture, which collects participant details as part of the sharing process.

4. Finishing A Session

To finish their session, participants simply tap “Done,” returning the app to the "Tap to Start" screen for the next guest.

If someone forgets to tap "Done" but has entered their contact information, the app will still send their photo and automatically time out the session to prepare for the next user.
