Your layouts, designed on the iPad or imported in a tap.
No computer, no design software: draw your print right on the iPad, or bring in the template you already have, wherever it is.
Design it on the iPad

- Repeated photoThe same photo several times on one print, one to keep and one to give away.
- Text that takes shapeNewCurved, slanted or vertical text, with adjustable letter spacing. And photos shaped as a heart, an arch or an instant-print frame.
Import it from anywhere

Born behind a real booth.
Photily runs our own wooden booth, hired out for weddings and parties around Geneva. Every feature goes through real venues before it reaches your iPad.
See our booth for hireFrequently asked questions
Is Photily really free?
Yes: one event, every shooting and printing feature, with no watermark and no time limit. The free version shows ads. Download Photily on the App Store.
Where do ads appear? Will my guests see them?
Never during the photo. On the guest side, a silent image ad shows every 3 sessions, after the photo, just before returning to the welcome screen. On the booth, an ad banner stays at the bottom (or top) of the screen during the event: the guest screen shrinks to fit, nothing is hidden.
On the organiser side: a banner at the bottom of menus and settings, an occasional full-screen ad in the settings (at most every 5 minutes) and an ad when the booth starts.
No ads during the first 15 minutes of use, in the layout editor or during a session. Family-friendly content only (rated “G”), no video with sound. Offline, no ads.
How do I remove the ads?
With a Pass (from €9.99, one-time purchase) or the Pro subscription. Ads disappear as soon as you buy.
Can guests get their photos with the free version?
Yes, by AirDrop and as prints. QR code, email and WhatsApp need a Pass or Pro: photos then go through our server, which has a cost.
Party Pass or Wedding Pass?
The Party Pass lasts 72 hours and keeps photos online for 30 days. The Wedding Pass lasts 30 days and keeps photos online for 6 months. Both start at purchase, so buy your Pass just before the event.
Can I run several events?
With the free version and a Pass, one event at a time: you edit it for the next party. With the Pro subscription, events are unlimited.
Can I try it without any gear?
Yes. On first launch, a demo event works with just the iPad camera, with no camera or printer.
Do I need a camera?
No. You can start with the iPad camera, then plug in a camera over USB (tested with Canon, Nikon and Sony bodies, among others) or connect a Canon over Wi-Fi via CCAPI for better print quality. Brands mentioned belong to their respective owners; Photily is not affiliated with any of these manufacturers.
Which printer should I use?
Any AirPrint photo printer, over Wi-Fi or added by its IP address. Photily has been tested with HiTi, DNP, Citizen, Epson and Canon printers, among others; depending on the model, printing goes through AirPrint or a print server. Photily also works with thermal ticket printers, over Bluetooth or a network. Brands mentioned belong to their respective owners; Photily is not affiliated with any of these manufacturers.
Do guests need to install an app?
No. They leave with their print or get their photo by AirDrop; with a Pass or Pro, also by QR code, email or WhatsApp.
Does Photily work on iPhone?
Yes. An iPhone can be a mobile booth, a sharing station next to the booth, or a way to manage your events.
How many iPads can I use?
With the free version, as many as you like: nothing goes through our server. One iPad with a Pass, up to 3 with the Pro subscription. Beyond that, we offer a custom quote.
Can I get guests' contact details?
Yes, even with the free version: form answers export to CSV from the iPad. With Pro, you also find them on your web management page and can send them automatically to your CRM or to Zapier, Make and n8n.
Can I put my logo on the galleries?
Yes, with the Pro subscription: logo, colours, message and a booking button on the gallery, on every photo and in the email sent to guests. With white label, no mention of Photily on the guest side.
Can I use my own frames?
Yes. Import your PNG overlays: photos drop into the transparent windows on their own. You can also start from a template in the editor.
Does Photily work without internet?
Yes. Everything works: photo, printing, AirDrop. Offline, no ads. With a Pass or Pro, photos reach the online gallery as soon as the network is back.
Which languages do the guest screens use?
French, English, German and Italian.
Do the props recognise guests?
No. Photily only detects where faces are in the image to place the props, directly on the iPad. No face is identified, stored or sent.
Can guests leave the app?
No. The booth runs in Guided Access, and a code is required to leave the booth and open the settings.
Where are photos stored, and for how long?
With the free version, photos stay on the iPad: nothing goes through our servers. With a Pass or Pro, gallery photos are stored in the European Union and deleted automatically on the date shown on each page: 30 days, 60 days or 6 months depending on the plan. Email addresses entered at the booth stay on the organiser's iPad. If automatic sending is on, they go through our servers only to send the photo link and are not kept for that purpose. With the Pro plan, the organiser can also keep a copy of form answers on our servers: 30 days by default, 60 days at most, then deleted automatically. Details are in our privacy policy (in French).
How do I delete my Photily account?
Sign in at galerie.photily.fr/compte and use the “Delete my account” button. If you do not sign in for 400 days, the account is also deleted automatically.
How do I cancel my subscription?
From your Apple Account settings, at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Pro monthly has no commitment. Passes are one-time purchases: nothing to cancel.
