Frequently Asked Questions
Is Picsui really better than a photo booth?
Photo booths capture 50–100 posed shots from one location. Picsui captures hundreds of candid moments from every guest at every moment — plus live slideshow, video uploads, and AI moderation. You get more photos, more variety, and a better guest experience.
What about photo booth props and frames?
Guests take natural, authentic photos with their own phones. Many event planners find these candid shots more memorable than posed booth photos. You can still have a props table if you want — guests will snap those photos and upload them too!
Can I display photos on a big screen like a photo booth?
Yes! Picsui's live slideshow projects guest photos on any screen in real time — it's like a photo wall powered by every guest. Connect any TV, projector, or monitor and photos rotate automatically as guests upload them.
How do guests upload photos?
Guests scan a QR code with their phone camera. It opens a browser page where they upload photos and videos. No app download, no account needed. It works on every iPhone and Android device.
What if I still want a photo booth too?
Use both! Many events have a photo booth AND Picsui. The QR code captures everything the booth misses — candid moments, different angles, the dance floor, getting-ready shots, and more. Think of Picsui as the perfect complement.
