This one's pretty obvious. It's called “Social Booth” for a reason, right.  If you want to upload to social media from your photo booth, you've come to the right place.  Email, Facebook, Twitter, SMS & Pinterest are all built in and users can upload and share right from the booth. There's also FTP and Smugmug background uploaders for you, the operator to user to send photos to your website or gallery in real time.  No Internet at your event? No problem.  Uploads can be queued offline and sent when your are back online.  Worried about the lines backing up at your booth?  Social Booth integrates seamlessly with Photo Booth Connected to allow you to setup social media kiosks on touchscreen PCs, Windows tablets, iPads or Android tablets.

9. Animated GIF Photo Booth

Social Booth has your standard, Color, Black & White and Sepia as well as Vintage Instagram style filters.  But check out some of these advanced filters like Cartoon, Sketch, Night Vision, Cross Process, Comic Book, Thermography, Pixel Art, Mosaic, Lite Brite and the always popular Warhol filter.  These filters let you create truly unique photo booth template styles and can even be applied to Animated GIFs

7. Host Photos on Your Website with Photo Booth Cloud

 
Photo Booth Cloud is the easiest way to host Photos, Videos and Animated GIFs directly on your website.  Each photo will have a unique access code or QR code that guests can enter when they visit your site.  From there they can share to social media as well as purchase prints directly from your site!  

6. Run a Photo Booth Contest

 
Social Booth's Contest mode allows you to randomly print photos with a special template to create a “Golden Ticket” or winning photo at a probability that you define.  Use it for brand giveaways or even self promotion.
