About imgbooth

imgbooth turns your photo booth into a live online gallery. It watches the folder your booth software saves photos to, and uploads each shot to a shareable event gallery within seconds of it being taken.

Who it's for

imgbooth is built for mobile photo booth owners, DJs, and event pros who already have a booth setup they like and just want a gallery on top of it.

It doesn't replace your booth software. It sits alongside whatever you already run and adds the part your clients keep asking for.

How it works

  • Point it at a folder. Tell imgbooth where your booth software saves finished photos. Any software, any camera rig — if it writes files to disk, imgbooth can watch it.
  • Run your event as normal. Nothing changes for you or your guests. No new workflow to learn on a Saturday night.
  • Photos upload instantly. The moment a new file lands in the folder, imgbooth picks it up and sends it to a private event gallery.
  • Guests browse and download. Share a link or QR code. Guests watch the gallery fill up live and grab photos from their phones.

See Creating Your First Gallery to get set up.

What you get with each event

Every event gets its own gallery with:

  • A shareable link and QR code
  • Live updates as photos come in — guests see new shots appear
  • Downloads straight to a guest's phone
  • A slideshow mode for a TV or projector at the venue
  • One year of hosting (even if you cancel!)

Built for real venues

Venue Wi-Fi is unreliable and imgbooth is built expecting that. If the connection drops, photos queue up locally on your laptop and upload automatically the moment you're back online. You don't have to watch it or retry anything — nothing gets lost.

Making it yours

Galleries can carry a couple's names, your company logo, or a client's brand colors, so the gallery reads as part of the experience you're selling rather than a third-party tool. See Branding & Themes.

Branding options depend on your plan — see Plans & Billing.
