Make a photo booth strip at home

You need a browser, decent light, and about ten minutes. Online Photo Booth handles countdown capture, template framing, and export— including a print sheet when you want physical copies.

Before you open the tool

Pick a spot with one main light source—a window during the day or a floor lamp at night. Clear clutter from the background; plain walls beat busy shelves.

If this is a group event, decide whether everyone uses the webcam or whether some people will upload phone photos later. Both paths live in the same tool.

1

Open Online Photo Booth

Allow camera access when prompted. On phones, use front camera for self-facing poses; on a laptop, raise the screen to eye level.

2

Select a template and optional title or date

Browse Simple, Decor, Birthday, or Travel categories. Read the slot count—three or four frames are easiest for first-time groups.

Run the capture sequence

Follow the countdown. Use retake on the last frame if needed, or Shoot again for a full new set without losing your template.

Adjust slots and download

Drag inside each slot to reframe faces. Download the strip, share locally if your browser supports it, or export a print sheet for 4×6 or A4.

Optional: compress for messaging

Large PNGs are fine for print; for group chats, run the finished strip through Image Compressor only if the file is slow to send.

Print or digital only?

Print sheet from the booth

You want two or four identical strips on one photo paper run—party favors, scrapbooks, or fridge magnets.

Digital share only

You post to stories or send in chat—export JPG or PNG and skip the printer.
