When a photo booth still works
Photo booths are still great for certain things.
- Printed keepsakes on the spot
Guests love walking away with a physical print. Photo booths deliver instant tangible memories.
- Themed props and backdrops
Silly hats, mustaches, and custom backdrops create a dedicated photo experience guests love.
- Dedicated photo experience
A photo booth is an activity in itself. It gives guests something fun to do and a reason to gather.
You can use both — a photo booth for posed fun, Picsui for everything else.
The booth handles the posed shots; Picsui collects the candid photos and videos from every guest.
Common questions
Can I use Picsui AND a photo booth?
Yes. A photo booth gives you posed, prop-filled shots; Picsui collects candid photos and videos from every guest throughout the event. The two work side by side.
Do guests need an app?
No. Guests simply scan a QR code and upload photos directly from their mobile browser. No app download, no account creation required.
What about photo quality?
Guests upload the full-resolution original from their own phone, and you download every original — ready for your own prints or sharing.
Is there a free trial?
There's no trial, but there is a Free Preview: the first 60 uploads are shown, with 5 full-resolution originals and watermarked previews. The gallery locks 7 days after the event and photos are deleted 30 days after upload. When you're ready, the $39 Event Pass is one payment for one event, with no subscription.
