Every Photily feature.
Everything the app does, from the shot to the event report. Everything is included for free, with no watermark, except what goes through the internet: the QR gallery, email and WhatsApp need a Pass or Pro (Pass / Pro), and operator tools need the Pro subscription (Pro). The free version shows ads.
Shooting
- Camera or iPad
- A camera plugged in over USB (tested with Canon, Nikon and Sony, among others), a Canon over Wi-Fi via CCAPI, or the iPad camera.
- Instant start
- The iPad camera starts in under a second, and the image follows the iPad's rotation.
- Automatic reconnection
- The camera reconnects on its own after sleep or power-off. Guests see “The booth is getting ready…” in the meantime.
- iPad camera takeover
- With no camera plugged in, the party carries on with the iPad camera.
- Photo, GIF and boomerang
- Three capture modes, with live filters on screen, including Glam filters.
- Studio filtersNew
- Beauty, Glow, Film and an instant-photo look with a white frame, for photos that look straight out of a studio.
- Video clipsNew
- Slow motion, normal speed or video boomerang (MP4), with a PNG frame in the event's colours and optional microphone sound.
- Hand-wave start
- A wave of the hand in front of the camera starts the session, without touching the screen.
- “One more photo”New
- Guests go again without filling in the form a second time.
- Virtual background
- Guests are cut out automatically, with no green screen and no internet, and the background image can be cropped. A slight background blur is available as an option.
- Live propsNew
- Redrawn props (glasses, hats, crowns, ears, bow tie…) picked while framing. They follow every face in the image. Add your own props as PNGs, in your colours.
- Countdown sounds
- Beeps, a voice saying “3… 2… 1… Smile!” with a custom last word, or your own sounds: a recorded voice, a jingle.
