Select your Event
After successfully creating your event, now you can Start the experience. This is where you will begin generating images for the event you’ve set up.
First step:
-
You will be presented with a list of events that you have created.
-
Each event will be displayed with its preview image, name and basic details like the date, user email & an question mark icon (on click it opens a modal with all event information).
How to Select an Event:
-
Simply click on the event for which you want to create images.
-
If you have multiple events, carefully select the one for which the image generation process will apply
Once you’ve chosen the event, you’ll move on to the photobooth loop flow where you can capture images, apply filters, and proceed with the steps you configured earlier in the event setup.
Select Camera
At this point, the web app will search for all available webcams on your device. Please follow the instructions below to ensure everything works smoothly:
Instructions:
-
Wait for Detection:
-
Our web app will automatically search for all available cameras. This may take a few seconds.
2. Allow Camera Access:
-
You’ll see a browser pop-up requesting permission for the web app to access your camera. Click "Allow" to grant access. This step is essential for continuing with the photobooth experience.
3. Check Camera Availability:
-
If your camera appears in the list, select it.
-
If your camera is not visible, please make sure that:
-
Your camera is connected and functioning properly.
-
It is recognized as a webcam by your browser.
-
Troubleshooting:
-
If your camera (or DSLR) is not detected, visit our troubleshooting guide to resolve common issues.
-
You can also check if other applications or browser tabs are using the camera, as the web app requires exclusive access to it.

-
Exclusive Access Needed: Our web app requires full control over the camera to ensure smooth operation.
Privacy Policy
Before you can proceed with the photobooth loop, you must review and agree to our Privacy Policy.
Select Capture Mode
In this step, you'll select the capture mode for your image creation. The capture mode defines how many people will be in the image and ensures the best experience for each scenario.
1. Capture Mode Options:
-
Single Person: Perfect for solo images.
-
Two Persons: Designed for capturing photos with two people in front of the camera.
-
Group: Ideal for larger groups.
2. Tips for Two-Person Photos:
-
Avoid Overlapping: The two people in front of the camera should be clearly separated and not overlap.
-
Separation: Make sure there’s enough space between the two people to avoid touching each other.
-
Flawless Performance: This separation ensures that the system can process the image without any issues.
-
Error Message: If the people overlap, you’ll receive an error message, and the photo process will need to be restarted.
Once you’ve selected the desired capture mode, the app will move on to the next step!
Select Filter
Now it's time to select the filter you'd like to use for generating your image. Here's how this step works:
1. Display of Available Filters:
-
The filters that are displayed here are the ones you previously selected during the event creation process.
-
You'll see a grid showcasing each available filter, making it easy to choose one.
2. Select a Filter:
-
Simply click on the filter.
-
Once selected, the filter will be applied, and you'll be automatically moved to the next step.
Select Gender
This step appears when you’ve selected the Single Capture Mode or Two-Person Mode. You’ll be asked to identify the gender for the individual(s) being photographed.
For Single Capture Mode:
-
Manual Gender Selection: You’ll need to manually select the gender for the person in front of the camera.
-
Controlled-Capture Mode Bypass: If the Controlled-Capture-Mode is enabled, this step is bypassed because gender is automatically identified using Deep Vision algorithms.
For Two-Person Mode:
-
You’ll be prompted to select the gender for each person, one by one.
-
Gender options will be available for both adults and children, allowing you to adjust based on the subjects.

1. Delivery option Buttons:
-
You’ll see the delivery options you selected during the event creation process, allowing users to share their images easily.
2. Randomize Filter Button:
-
If enabled during event creation, this button allows you to apply a random filter to the generated image. This will give the photo a new look, selected from the filters configured for the event.
3. Reapply Filter Button:
-
This button lets you reapply the filter that was originally used on the image. Ideal for those who want to recreate the same effect without making any changes.
4. Restart Experience Button:
-
If you wish to start the entire photo-taking experience from the beginning, you can click the Restart Experience button. This will take you back to the Privacy Policy step and allow you to go through the entire process again.
With all these options, users can fully customize their image and even restart the experience to take another photo or change settings.
Before starting the Photo loop experience, it's essential to have an event created.
Step 1: Click on the button Event Manager
To begin, you’ll need to navigate to the Event Manager. Click on it, and it will take you to the event management page.
Step 2: Create a New Event
Once inside the Event Manager, you’ll see the option to "Create Event." Click this button to start the event creation process.
Event Name
Before starting the photoloop experience, it's essential to have an event created.
Step 1: Click on the button Event Manager
To begin, you’ll need to navigate to the Event Manager. Click on it, and it will take you to the event management page.
Step 2: Create a New Event
Once inside the Event Manager, you’ll see the option to "Create Event." Click this button to start the event creation process.
Capture Modes
In this step, you’ll decide how participants can interact with the photobooth by selecting the available capture modes. There are two options to choose from, and you can enable one or both depending on the type of experience you want to offer:
1. Two Persons Mode
This mode allows two people to be photographed together in a single shot. It’s perfect for pairs, such as friends, couples, or colleagues who want to capture a moment together at your event.
2. Group Mode
If your event has larger groups or teams, this mode is ideal. It allows multiple people to pose together, making it great for parties, celebrations, or any event where group photos are a must.
Default Selection:
By default, Single Person Mode is pre-selected. This mode is designed for individual portraits, where one person is in focus per shot.
Customization:
You can select one or both modes depending on your event’s needs. The options you choose here will appear in the photobooth, giving participants the flexibility to select their preferred capture mode during their session.
For example, if you enable both Two Persons Mode and Group Mode, attendees will be able to choose between these options (including Single Person Mode) when they start using the photobooth.
Make your selection, and once you’re satisfied, move on to the next step!
Select Gender
In this step, you’ll define the gender options that will be available for participants to choose from during their photobooth session. There are several default options, as well as specific selections you can enable:
Default Options:
-
Male
-
Female
-
Prefer Not to Say
These are pre-selected by default, allowing participants to identify themselves comfortably.
Additional Options:
-
Boy
-
Girl
You can select one or both of these options based on the context of your event. This allows for more flexible gender selection, especially in events where younger participants might be involved.
How It Works:
The gender options you select here will be displayed in the photobooth loop, where participants will be asked to choose their gender before capturing their photos. It’s important to offer the right mix of options to make everyone feel included and comfortable.
Select Image Quality
Here, you’ll choose the output quality for your images. We offer three different quality modes, each with varying render times:
1. Quick
-
Creation Time: 6-9 seconds
-
This mode is perfect for fast results. It generates images quickly with a slightly lower resolution, ideal if you're looking for speed over high-detail images.
2. HD
-
Creation Time: 10-12 seconds
-
HD mode offers a good balance between quality and speed. The images are sharper with more detail, but the render time is slightly longer compared to Quick mode.
3. 4K
-
Creation Time: 16-20 seconds
-
For the highest level of detail and clarity, 4K mode is the best option. It provides ultra-high resolution images, but the creation time is the longest of the three.
Once selected, your chosen quality mode will be applied to all images generated in the photobooth for this event!
Select AI Filter
In this step, you’ll choose the AI-filters to use during your event from our extensive library of over 200 unique filters. These filters will add creative and dynamic effects to the images captured in your photobooth.
How to Select Filters:
-
You can select up to 8 filters per event. Take your time to explore the options and find the ones that best suit the vibe of your event.
Preview Filters:

Quick Mode:
-
Landscape: 3:2 | 1200x800 pixels
