Set it up yourself, brand every detail, and turn your whole event into real, shareable content. Run it as a kiosk on a tablet or let guests join from their own phones. It's the same event camera either way.

The new dashboard puts you in the driver's seat. Build the experience, swap backgrounds, frames, and stickers, and edit your microsite yourself. Customize your digital photo booth and update it in real-time.
This isn't a novelty filter. It's an event camera. Guests capture authentic photos and group shots, and you walk away with content you can actually use in recaps, social, and follow-up.
Set it up as a kiosk on an iPad at your booth, or share a link and let guests use their own phones. It runs in any browser, so it scales from 50 people to 50,000 without extra equipment.
A digital photo booth is a web-based photo experience guests use at an event. They use it like an event camera, capture photos on any device with a browser and a camera (kiosks, phones, tablets, etc), personalize the content, and get the digital outputs instantly. Snapbar's version goes further: you build and run it yourself, and every photo feeds a live gallery and your lead data.
Most photo tools make you choose between control and convenience. This gives you both. From one dashboard you set the backgrounds, frames, stickers, capture flow, and lead fields, then push changes live in seconds.
If you've used an app like Simple Booth or Snappic, this will feel familiar, with two differences: there's nothing to install, and the same experience runs on a booth kiosk or your guests' phones.
A live crowd gallery lets attendees capture candid moments from across the room, and watch them appear in real time on screen.
You get a steady stream of authentic event content, and a per-guest gallery means everyone leaves with their photos while you keep the marketing fuel. It's coverage no single photographer could match, branded and yours to use after the event.
Design and brand the experience in the dashboard. Your assets, your flow, no production queue.
Launch a kiosk on a tablet or share a QR code and link. Any browser, any device.
Every photo lands in your gallery and every interaction captures a lead. Moderate and export from one place.
Running a remote or hybrid event? Our true virtual photo booth is built for that. For everything else, one platform runs it all.
Capture the energy of the whole crowd and build a real-time gallery of candid moments.
A per-guest content gallery doubles as event swag attendees actually keep, and every scan is a qualified lead.
Real, on-brand imagery you can repurpose long after the doors close.
Easy to run yourself, easy for employees to join from any device.
Digital Photo Booth is one of several experiences your team can run on Snapbar without juggling vendors. Want AI portraits instead of real photos, video, collectible cards, or fast headshots? They're all on the same platform.
Transform selfies into custom AI portraits - from realistic headshots to almost anything you can imagine.
Add immersive AI video to any experience, transforming personalized photos into ready-for-social video clips.
Turn attendees into collectibles. Guest data populates custom card layouts with AI-generated portraits, stats, and personalized details.
Professional headshots delivered in minutes. High-volume capture with AI-assisted consistency for conferences, summits, and all-hands events.
Snapbar has built experiential marketing activations since 2012, which is why brands like Dell, Visa, and Paramount trust us with their highest-profile events.
Yes, the Digital Photo Booth is fully embeddable. It integrates seamlessly with major virtual event platforms (like Hopin, Cvent, and Swapcard) via iFrame, allowing guests to engage without leaving your event environment.
Yes. Capture a real photo, then add optional AI touches like upscaling or post-capture effects. You get authentic content with the option to enhance it, all in one activation.
You have some options! Our dashboard allows you to moderate your content in real-time, and also choose whether you want to only send approved content to the live gallery, or display it all and moderate as needed.
Yes. The dashboard is built for self-serve. You control the branding, backgrounds, frames, stickers, capture flow, and lead fields, and you can update any of it yourself, before or during your event, with no vendor in the loop.
We encourage it! The experience is optimized to work on iPads, using email delivery for the content to provide a seamless in-person photo booth experience.
Yes. The live gallery collects candid photos from across your event in real time, turning every guest into an event photographer. When guests participate, they agree to share rights to their content with your brand under our standard terms, so the photos are yours to use as marketing fuel.
No, the Digital Photo Booth requires an active internet connection to function. Since it is a browser-based experience that processes images and uploads them to a live gallery in real-time, guests need cellular data (4G/5G) or WiFi to participate.
By default, it does not, but we reserve the right to charge for overage beyond the originally purchased credits. You can monitor usage in your dashboard, and our team also keeps an eye on usage to let you know if it's getting close - and what your options are.
No app is required. The Snapbar Digital Photo Booth runs entirely in the mobile or desktop browser (Safari, Chrome, etc.), eliminating friction and ensuring high participation rates for your event.
Yes, our Digital Photo Booth is a browser-based solution designed specifically for virtual and hybrid events. Unlike traditional booths, it requires no app downloads or physical hardware. Attendees simply click a link or scan a QR code to take branded photos, GIFs, or bursts directly from their smartphone or computer browser.
There's a few different ways! Foot traffic and participation is a great starting place, with metrics available in your dashboard. We also provide metrics on social sharing and downloads. If you're using a social wall, or integrated social media campaign, we also recommend using 3rd party software to track hashtags and engagement related to the campaign.
Our digital photo booth platform is flexible and designed to work for almost any kind of event. Whether in-person, virtual, or hybrid, there are intuitive ways for your attendees to access the experience and participate. If you want to talk about ideas or get advice on increasing participation, just reach out! We'd love to chat.
You can do this easily in our dashboard - either one at a time, or in bulk.
The microsite is web-based so it can be accessed from anywhere with internet - from phones, desktops, and set up on tablets for in-person engagement. It is also easily embeddable into any digital experience with an iframe. So it can be accessed however you need it to be!
App-based booths like Simple Booth or Snappic run on an iPad you set up and manage on site. Snapbar's digital photo booth runs in any browser, so there's nothing to install, and the same experience works as a kiosk on a tablet or from your guests' own phones. You build and manage the whole thing yourself in the dashboard, and every photo feeds a live gallery and your lead data.
Your Snapbar account isn't deleted unless you request it, so you have long-term access to the dashboard even once the photo booth is no longer active. To reduce server load, we do reserve the right to delete content after roughly 90 days. If you would like it deleted sooner, or later, please reach out and we're happy to help!
We offer extensive branding capabilities. You can customize the landing page, stickers, frames, background removal (AI or Green Screen), and the email gallery delivery to match your event's visual identity perfectly.
The short answer is: it depends! Overall, we suggest booking your activation with us at least 2-3 weeks in advance, but we can, and do, operate on less lead time. Expedition costs may apply if you're operating on more of a last-minute timeline.
Browser-based booths maximize participation by removing friction. App-based solutions often require downloads or specific hardware, which creates a barrier to entry. Snapbar's browser-based platform works instantly on any device (iOS, Android, Desktop) via a simple link or QR code, ensuring higher engagement rates for your activation.
Boost event engagement & brand awareness with user-generated content that turns moments into marketing gold.
