Built for Live Events and Permanent Kiosks
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. With ZillaBooth Pro, add USB external cameras and Bluetooth remote shutters for professional booth setups, integrated SMTP email from your own domain, and kiosk tools that keep the experience going all night.
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

Customized For Your Event
ZillaBooth Pro 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 — with optional USB cameras on iPad — 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.
ZillaBooth Pro’s Simplified 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 ZillaBooth Pro 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 optionally connect USB cameras for pro-quality capture. See the ZillaBooth features blog for setup ideas.
Built on the Full Power of iPhone and iPad
ZillaBooth is a native iOS app for iPhone and iPad (iOS 26+) 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.

What is ZillaBooth?
ZillaBooth is a native iOS photo booth app that turns your iPhone or iPad into a full-featured booth. Each session captures four photos and composites them into a share-ready collage — either a classic 2×2 grid or a 1×4 strip. Core is free. Pocket adds creative capture controls for a one-time purchase. Pro is a subscription with event automation, integrated email delivery, custom overlays, USB camera support, and kiosk tools.
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 ZillaBooth Pro?
ZillaBooth Pro’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. ZillaBooth Pro 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.
Can I use an external USB camera with ZillaBooth?
Yes, with ZillaBooth Pro on iPad. Connect a UVC-compatible USB camera for professional booth setups. ZillaBooth supports hot-plug UVC webcams — not PTP/DSLR bodies in this release. See the USB External Camera setup guide for supported hardware, cables, and troubleshooting.
