Built for Real Events
From intimate weddings to high-traffic corporate activations, ZillaBooth is the photo booth that works while you are busy hosting. Guests walk up, capture four shots as a classic 2×2 grid or 1×4 strip, and receive their collage in seconds — with no operator involvement required.
Set up in minutes on the iPhone or iPad you already own. Integrated email delivery means guests receive their collage directly from your own domain — keeping your brand consistent and your workflow entirely within infrastructure you control.
ZillaBooth is built natively for iPhone and iPad using Apple’s AVFoundation camera framework — the same foundation Apple’s own Camera app uses. That means reliable, high-quality captures, familiar controls, and images that look great shared on social or printed as a 4×6 keepsake.
Perfect for:
- Weddings
- Birthday Parties
- Corporate Events
- School Dances
- Venue Installations
- Brand Activations
- Bars & Restaurants
- Permanent Kiosks
Party Mode: Built for Unattended, Guest-Led Booths
Party Mode handles the experience from the moment a guest walks up to the moment they receive their collage — so you can be fully present at your event, not managing your technology.
- Full-screen kiosk interface — guests always know exactly where to tap, even in a busy venue
- Integrated email delivery — configured with your own SMTP credentials and domain so guests receive photos from an address they recognize
- Custom PNG graphic overlays — your logo, event artwork, or sponsor frame composited directly into every collage
- Auto-print via AirPrint — guests get a physical takeaway instantly, using any compatible printer at your venue
- Auto-restart after each session — the booth resets itself between guests without any staff intervention
- Keep Awake mode — the screen stays on all night for events and permanent installations
- Protected settings with Guided Access compatibility — guests cannot reach your configuration during the event
- Confirmation animation — a celebratory moment after every successful share that guests love
- Flexible secondary delivery — optional follow-up messaging for marketing, promotions, or venue workflows
Customized For Your Event
ZillaBooth Party is built around tools and infrastructure you already own — from the hardware you choose to the email domain you trust.
Because ZillaBooth runs on the iPhone or iPad you already own, you are free to use whatever physical setup works best — a dedicated enclosure, a custom lighting rig, a simple stand, or anything in between. No proprietary accessories to purchase. No hardware lock-in of any kind.
Party Mode’s integrated sharing uses operator-configured SMTP credentials — your Google Workspace account, your corporate mail server, or a transactional provider you choose. Guests receive their collage from an address and domain they recognize, and you retain full control of deliverability, data, and any follow-up messaging.
Supply your own artwork — a logo, event frame, or sponsor graphic — and ZillaBooth composites it directly into every collage. No template library lock-in. No watermarks from a third-party service. No branding on your guests’ photos that isn’t yours.
Auto-print connects to any AirPrint-compatible printer at your venue. No mandatory print partner to sign up with. No additional hardware to rent or subscribe to. Guests receive an instant physical takeaway without any extra steps from staff.
The Right Booth for Any Occasion
Weddings
An elegant, unattended booth your guests can enjoy without instructions. Apply your own overlay art to match the day’s aesthetic, and let integrated email deliver collages so memories arrive before guests leave the venue.
Birthday Parties
From a backyard celebration to a milestone event, setup takes minutes and guests do the rest. Classic 2×2 grids and 1×4 strips look great printed and shared on social.
Corporate Events and Brand Activations
Brand every collage with your logo or campaign artwork, send follow-up messaging from your own domain, and keep your setup completely independent of third-party vendor platforms.
School Events and Fundraisers
Accessible to operate and straightforward to configure. ZillaBooth Core handles everyday use, and Party Mode scales up for events with branding, email delivery, and automation — all without additional hardware requirements.
Bars, Restaurants, and Venues
Keep Awake and auto-restart keep the booth running all evening without staff involvement. Protected settings and Guided Access mean your configuration stays intact even through a full night of guest use.
Permanent Kiosk Installations
Run ZillaBooth as an always-on installation in a lobby, retail space, or entertainment venue. Combine Keep Awake, auto-restart, and Hide Settings for a tamper-resistant, guest-ready kiosk that operates independently.
Photo Booth Rental Operators
Run a polished, branded experience for clients using an iPad you already own. Swap overlay graphics for each event, configure email delivery from a client-branded address, and keep overhead low with no proprietary hardware requirements.
Built on the Full Power of iPhone and iPad
ZillaBooth is a native iOS app built with Swift and SwiftUI on top of Apple’s AVFoundation camera framework — the same foundation Apple’s own Camera app uses. The result is an experience that feels instantly familiar to anyone who picks up a modern iPhone or iPad, with image quality and device integration that a web-based or cross-platform app cannot match.
- High-resolution still capture tuned for portrait and group photography, using the full quality of your device’s camera hardware
- Built-in screen flash support for well-lit shots in any environment — from dark ballrooms to bright outdoor settings
- GPU-accelerated collage compositing via Core Image — fast, high-quality output ready for social sharing or 4×6 printing
- Flexible, private photo delivery — guests receive their collage directly via integrated email from your own domain, with no mandatory third-party gallery or account creation required
- Familiar controls and system-native behaviors that staff can learn in seconds and guests can use without any instructions

What is ZillaBooth?
ZillaBooth is a native iOS app that turns your iPhone or iPad into a full-featured photo booth. Each session captures four photos and automatically composites them into a share-ready collage — either a classic 2×2 grid or a 1×4 strip. Core is free to download.

Party is a monthly subscription with event automation, integrated email delivery, custom overlays, and kiosk tools designed for events and installations.
Do I need special hardware to use ZillaBooth?
No. All you need is an iPhone or iPad you already own. ZillaBooth uses the built-in camera, screen flash, and native iOS sharing — no proprietary hardware accessories required. For events, a stand and any AirPrint-compatible printer you choose are all you need for a complete booth setup.
How does email delivery work in Party Mode?
Party Mode’s Simplified Sharing uses operator-configured SMTP credentials — your Google Workspace account, your corporate mail server, or a transactional email provider you choose. Guests enter their contact information and receive their collage from an email address and domain you control. ZillaBooth does not relay email through a third-party service, so deliverability practices and guest data remain under your management.
Can ZillaBooth run as a permanent kiosk or venue installation?
Yes. Party Mode includes Keep Awake to prevent the display from sleeping, auto-restart to return the booth to the camera after an idle period, and Hide Settings to remove the settings button from the camera UI. Combined with Apple’s built-in Guided Access feature, ZillaBooth can operate reliably as an always-on installation in a bar, lobby, retail space, or entertainment venue.
