Photo Booth Upload uses our sharing software, Photo Party Upload, to send your photos to email, text, social media, or a printer.
There are three parts to Photo Party Upload.
1. EVENT MANAGER
The Event Manager website helps you configure your event settings and options for your upcoming event.
2. The Helper App
The Helper App lives on your photo booth and syncs with the Event Manager settings you have created. Then it monitors the photo booth output folder and allows your images to be shared on a nearby tablet.
3. The kiosk App
The Kiosk App lives on your Windows or Apple Tablet and receives the images from the Helper App on your photo booth and builds an interactive gallery. This gallery allows you to print or share to email, text, or social media.
Photo Party upload and Photo booth Upload
The diagram below illustrates how Photo Party Upload works with Photo Booth Upload.
Photo Booth Upload requires a compatible Windows computer and a capture device such as a Canon DSLR, webcam, or slow-motion camera, depending on the experience. For best performance, use Windows 10 or 11, at least 8 GB RAM, and stronger specs for more demanding workflows.
Photo Booth Upload is Windows-based software and is not compatible with Apple/iMac computers. iPad sharing can still be supported through Photo Party Upload Kiosk, but the core PBU capture workflow should be planned around a Windows system that meets the recommended hardware and operating system requirements.
Yes. Photo Booth Upload supports A.I. features, including Generative A.I. and Face Swap workflows. A.I. is added to a specific PBU license through Event Manager, and operators can test A.I. before purchasing the add-on, though trial outputs may include watermarks.
Photo Booth Upload supports Generative A.I. transformations and Face Swap filters. Operators can use preset filters, create custom A.I. prompts, or build Face Swap effects from target artwork. That makes PBU useful for themed events, branded activations, stylized portraits, trading cards, and guest transformations that feel more custom than a standard photo booth capture.
Most A.I. images process in about 30 seconds, though timing can vary based on image resolution, internet connection, capture volume, server load, and how many renderings are created from each photo. PBU can also allow guests to share while processing, then deliver the A.I. image once rendering is complete.
Yes. A.I. filters can be used with Page Designer, so branded overlays and custom layouts can be applied to A.I.-generated content the same way they are applied to non-A.I. photos. This is especially useful for branded activations, sponsor moments, trading cards, photo strips, and event takeaways.
Photo Booth Upload creates the photos, GIFs, videos, and other event media. Photo Party Upload handles sharing, delivery, and distribution. Together, they let operators capture content in PBU and send it through PPU workflows for email, text, social sharing, printing, tablet galleries, and guest-facing delivery.
Yes. Photo Booth Upload uses Photo Party Upload for sharing and print delivery workflows. PBU creates the content, while PPU manages event settings, watched folders, Kiosk sharing, email, text, social media, and print delivery. That pairing is what turns the capture software into a full event sharing workflow.
Photo Booth Upload offers flexible license options, including weekly, annual, and lifetime plans. Operators can choose the license length that fits their business, whether they need software for a single event, a season of bookings, or long-term use across a photo booth fleet. A.I. features are available as a separate add-on.
Updates are included for the duration of the license purchased. That means update access follows the license term, whether an operator chooses a weekly, annual, or lifetime license. For photo booth businesses, this helps keep the software current while matching the way they prefer to buy and use PBU.
License duration depends on the plan purchased. Photo Booth Upload offers flexible license lengths, including weekly, annual, and lifetime options, so operators can choose the right fit for their booking volume and business model. A short-term license can work for a specific event, while lifetime licensing supports long-term booth ownership.
Yes. LA Photo Party provides tech support by phone and email, with tutorials and documentation also available through the support portal. Support should stay visible on the PBU page because reliability matters when operators are running live events, managing clients, and troubleshooting booth workflows under real production pressure.
Yes. If a photo booth computer breaks down or needs to be replaced, a Photo Booth Upload license can be transferred to another computer within the current license policy. License transfers are available within defined policy limits, including transfer limits over time.
Photo Party Upload is event sharing software from LA Photo Party for photo booths, photographers, and brand activations. It helps move photos, GIFs, and videos from a booth or watched folder into guest-facing sharing options like email, text, social media, printing, tablet galleries, and branded delivery workflows.
Photo Party Upload works through a connected system made up of the Event Manager website, the Helper tool, the Kiosk app, and the media being shared. Event Manager controls the event settings, Helper manages the watched folder and distribution, and Kiosk gives guests a simple interface for selecting and sharing their media.
Event Manager is the web-based portal where event settings and sharing options are configured. Helper runs on a Windows PC, watches the output folder, and manages distribution. Kiosk is the guest-facing app on iPad, Windows tablets, or PCs where guests choose images and share, print, or interact with their event media.
Yes. Photo Party Upload can work with other content creation tools when media is saved into a watched folder. Media from compatible tools can be picked up from that folder and distributed through the Photo Party Upload system.
Photo Party Upload uses different components on different devices. Helper runs on a Windows PC. Kiosk is available for iPads, Windows tablets, and Windows PCs. Event Manager is web-based and can be accessed through a browser.
Yes. Photo Party Upload can support branded guest-facing experiences through customizable Kiosk backgrounds, buttons, overlays, digital props, surveys, disclaimers, and microsites. This makes it useful for corporate events, brand activations, sponsor programs, and photo booth businesses that need guest delivery to match the event’s look and campaign goals.
Yes. Photo Party Upload includes event reporting and data capture tools. The PPU page references statistics, email collection, social media shares, user credentials, surveys, disclaimers, and event reports, making it useful for operators and marketing teams that need more than simple photo delivery.
Yes. Photo Party Upload supports QR code sharing through the Windows Kiosk when Unique URL sharing is enabled for the event. Guests can select their media, scan the QR code on the screen, and receive a unique URL for their photo or set of photos without entering an email address or phone number.
Photo Party Upload offers several pricing options after the free trial, including per-upload, per-event, monthly, and annual plans. Plan options include basic per-upload pricing, a pro per-event plan, an advanced monthly plan, and a business annual plan, with some extras billed separately.
No. Photo Party Upload can support photos, videos, and GIFs, depending on the media being created and saved into the watched folder. The system is designed around distributing event media, so it can support photo booth outputs, video clips, GIFs, and branded sharing workflows from compatible capture tools.
