A traditional photo booth typically costs £300–800 and often sits in one spot — many guests never reach it. Fest-appen is the guest page for your event — with a digital photo booth via phone/iPad, plus schedule, menu, practical info and live TV. Software, not hardware.
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.
Want a classic booth feel too? Open the dedicated photo booth view on an iPad or tablet on a stand — live camera, countdown and direct upload to the gallery. You provide the device; we supply the software, not the hardware.
After the event 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 rented 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.
Put an iPad or tablet on a stand and open the photo booth link. Live camera, countdown and photos straight into the gallery. You need your own dedicated device — we supply the software, not the hardware.
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.
The day after the party there's an email with one link: all originals and the guestbook ready to print. Full resolution — no USB stick, no compression.
Add the schedule, menu and practical info — guests find it themselves via the same QR code. Everything in one place.
We create your page and send login — typically within 24 hours. You fill in content and print QR codes. No setup or collection on the day of the event.
You book a free demo via the 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. After the event 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. You can also use fest-appen's own photo booth view on a dedicated iPad or tablet that you provide.
If you want the dedicated photo booth view (live camera, countdown and direct upload to the gallery), you need to provide an iPad or tablet yourselves — we supply the software, not the hardware. Regular photo upload from guests' own phones needs no extra device.
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.
