All features
Immersive full-screen iPad booth UI, with an optional attention-grabbing shutter. Requires ZillaBooth Pro.
📱 iPad Event Layout
A purpose-built iPad interface for event and kiosk use. The camera preview expands to fill the screen with controls overlaid — creating an immersive, full-screen experience that’s easy for guests to understand and use on their own.
How it works: When you’re using ZillaBooth on an iPad with a Pro subscription active, the app automatically switches to the iPad Event Layout. The camera preview expands to fill a larger portion of the screen, all controls are displayed as overlays on top of the camera feed, and the shutter button is always positioned at the bottom for easy, consistent access.
Setup: No configuration required. Subscribe to ZillaBooth Pro, open the app on your iPad, and the Event Layout activates automatically. All other Pro features (Simplified Sharing, Auto-Print, etc.) work seamlessly alongside this layout.
Best for: Any event deployment where iPad is your device of choice. The larger screen is ideal for groups, the immersive layout feels premium, and the prominent shutter button means guests need zero guidance to get started.
✨ Attention-Grabbing Shutter
Draw guests’ eyes to the shutter button with a subtle animated effect — no instruction needed. Choose from three styles to match your event vibe.
Style options:
- Off: Standard shutter button with no animation.
- Particles: A soft particle halo pulses around the shutter button — elegant and eye-catching without being distracting.
- Emoji: Your chosen emoji swirls around the shutter button. Tap Configure to pick any single emoji (default 🎉).
How to configure: Open ZillaBooth Settings → Pro → Attention-Grabbing Shutter. Select Off, Particles, or Emoji. This feature is available when iPad Event Layout is active.
