Question 1

What is a virtual photo booth?

Accepted Answer

A virtual photo booth replaces a rented kiosk with a QR code your guests scan on their own phone. The camera opens in the browser, they snap their shot, and every photo lands instantly in your shared live gallery — no app, no equipment.

Question 2

How do I create a virtual photo booth for an event?

Accepted Answer

Sign up, name your event, print the QR sign, and your virtual photo booth is live in about 60 seconds. Guests scan to join — there's nothing to install on your side or theirs.

Question 3

Do guests need an app to use a QR code photo booth?

Accepted Answer

No. SnapWave's QR code photo booth runs entirely in the phone browser — iOS Safari and Android Chrome both work out of the box.

Question 4

What is SnapWave Booth?

Accepted Answer

One QR code that turns every guest's phone into a photobooth. No app, no setup, no awkward kiosk in the corner.

Question 5

How do guests join?

Accepted Answer

They scan the QR code you print, project, or share. It opens straight to the camera in their browser.

Question 6

Do guests need to download anything?

Accepted Answer

No. SnapWave runs in any modern phone browser — iOS Safari and Android Chrome both work out of the box.

Question 7

Do I need any hardware?

Accepted Answer

Just something to display the QR code — a printed sign, a tablet, or a TV. No camera or computer required.

Question 8

Which camera does it use?

Accepted Answer

The front camera, so guests can see themselves while they pose.

Question 9

Does it work offline?

Accepted Answer

No — guests need an internet connection to capture and submit. Taking the photo happens in the browser, but submitting uploads it straight to your gallery, so guests should stay on the page with signal until they see the confirmation. If the connection drops mid-upload, ask them to retake the shot.

Question 10

Can I customise the booth?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Set your event name, choose an AI Filter style, and tweak booth options from your event manage page.

Question 11

What are AI Filters?

Accepted Answer

One-tap restyles of guest photos — watercolor, cartoon, and more. Available with limits on Standard, unlimited on Pro.

Question 12

Is there a guest limit?

Accepted Answer

No. Unlimited guests can join the same booth from the same QR code.

Question 13

Where do photos go?

Accepted Answer

Straight into your live gallery dashboard the moment they're taken — no syncing or uploading on your end.

Question 14

How long are photos kept?

Accepted Answer

30 days in your photo vault. Browse, share, or bulk-download anytime in that window.

Question 15

Do guests keep their photo?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Photos auto-save to the guest's phone after capture, so they walk away with their shot.

Question 16

Can I download everything at once?

Accepted Answer

Yes — bulk download the full gallery from your dashboard whenever you like.

Question 17

How much does it cost?

Accepted Answer

$29 per event for Standard, or $59 per event for Pro with unlimited AI Filters. See the pricing page for the full breakdown.

Question 18

Is it really one-time per event?

Accepted Answer

Yes. One flat fee per event you create. No subscription, no recurring charges.

Question 19

Can I upgrade from Standard to Pro?

Accepted Answer

Yes — switch tier from your event manage page any time before the booth goes live.

Question 20

When do I pay?

Accepted Answer

At checkout, right after you create your event. Your booth goes live once payment is confirmed.
