    How it works

    1. 1

      Create the event

      Name the event and get a short code plus a printable QR poster. Add your own branding on a venue plan.

    2. 2

      Guests scan and shoot

      The QR opens the booth on their phone. No app, no login, and no per-guest setup.

    3. 3

      Everything lands in one gallery

      Photos collect in a private event gallery you can share or download after the night.

    Why it beats a rented booth

    A traditional photo booth costs several hundred pounds or dollars for the night, needs floor space and an attendant, and produces a queue. This runs on the phones your guests already brought. The Pro event pass is a one-off $29 for unlimited unwatermarked photos across the event, and the gallery stays available afterwards so nobody has to airdrop anything.

    Y2K party theme ideas that photograph well

    Low-rise everything, butterfly clips, frosted eyeshadow, tinted sunglasses indoors, chunky highlights, and anything metallic. Practically: pick a bright wall, put a mirror somewhere guests can find, and keep an overhead light on. The booth reproduces a direct camera flash, and that reads best when the source photo is evenly lit rather than shot in a dark corner.

    Frequently asked questions

    How much does a Y2K photo booth cost?
    A Pro event pass is $29 one-off and covers unlimited unwatermarked photos for a single event. Venues running recurring events can license a branded booth instead.
    Do guests need to download an app or sign up?
    No. Guests scan the QR code, open the booth in their phone browser, and upload — no account and no install.
    Does it work without wifi?
    Guests need a data or wifi connection because generation happens server-side. Mobile data is normally enough; a venue with poor signal should provide guest wifi.
    Who can see the event gallery?
    The gallery is private to the event. Images are served through short-lived signed links, and you control whether the gallery is shared with guests.
