A traditional photo booth costs £300–800 and only half your guests find it. Fest-appen turns every guest's phone into a photo station — photos from all evening, every table, every angle.
A photo booth is fun — but it doesn't solve the real problem: collecting photos from all your guests, from all evening. That's what fest-appen does.

Imagine a photo booth that's available all evening, takes up no space, never has a queue, and that all 80 guests can use from their own table simultaneously. That's exactly what fest-appen is.
You put a QR code on the table cards. Guests scan — no app, no login — and can upload photos directly from their phone. All photos land in a shared gallery and roll live onto the big screen during dinner.
Once things are settled you receive a personal download link by email with one bundled download — hundreds of high-resolution photos from every angle plus guestbook exports. Not just the handful from the queue at a photo booth.
Scan the QR code and upload — no app, no login. Works on all smartphones. Photos from every table, everywhere in the venue, all evening.
New photos roll straight onto the big screen — guests see themselves and each other in real time. Guestbook messages weave in. An experience no photo booth can match.
Guests write messages directly from the page — no paper, no pen. All messages in one place, ready to read again years from now.
Usually after your party and settlement we email a link to one bundled download with originals and guestbook exports — no compression, no USB stick. You can also fetch the same package from admin while the link is active.
Add the schedule, menu and practical info — guests find it themselves via the same QR code. Everything in one place.
No supplier, no setup, no stressful logistics on the day. You book, we send login, and you're ready.
You fill in the contact form. We create your app and send login. You add the schedule, menu and info — typically 15–20 minutes.
We deliver QR codes ready to print as table cards, poster or stickers. Guests scan and are up in ten seconds — no app, no login.
Photos and messages flow onto the big screen in real time. Once things are settled you receive a download link by email with photos and guestbook — save locally before the link expires.
A digital photo booth is an alternative to the traditional booth where guests use their own smartphones instead of a fixed station. With fest-appen, guests scan a QR code and upload photos directly from their phone — no queue, no prop box, and photos from all over the venue.
A traditional photo booth for a party typically costs £300–800 for one evening, depending on the supplier, props and print options. Fest-appen costs significantly less — see pricing here. You also avoid delivery costs and setup on the day.
No. Everything happens directly in the phone browser. Guests scan the QR code on the table card — no app to install, no account to create, no password to remember. Works on iPhone, Android and all other smartphones.
Yes, absolutely. A traditional photo booth as an entertainment element combined with fest-appen as the shared photo gallery from all guests is a great combination. Many hosts choose exactly that. Photos taken at the booth can be uploaded to fest-appen afterwards from the phone gallery.
Yes — weddings are actually the occasion most people use fest-appen for. Guests scan the QR code on the table card and upload photos directly. All photos collect in a shared gallery and roll live on the big screen during dinner. Read more about fest-appen for weddings →
Photos are saved at the resolution guests upload them — typically full camera quality from a modern smartphone. Fest-appen converts to WebP for faster viewing in the gallery and TV slideshow, but the package from email or admin contains the originals at full resolution.
