Best Memories

For photo-booth operators

Your booth makes the night. We make the gallery they remember you by.

You don't have to shoot a thing. Keep the booth you run — iPad, 360, your overlay and props — and Best Memories takes over everything after the shutter: it culls the misfires, retouches every capture, and hands each guest a finished gallery in minutes, not a QR to a raw album that's gone in 90 days. Free, clean retouch on every shot; AI styling free to try; your own brand on it when you're ready. No monthly bill before your first event.

Already signed up? Download the iOS app — runs in booth mode on the iPad you already use.

On autopilot

Nothing changes on the floor. We run everything after it.

Set up the booth exactly like you do today. The second a capture lands, Best Memories takes over on its own — no laptop, no after-midnight editing, no second app for guests to install.

01Automatic

Capture like you already do

Your iPad booth, your overlay, your props. Guests tap and snap. Same routine on the floor.

02Automatic

We finish it the second it lands

Cull the blinks and dupes, retouch every face — clean, free, no watermark. Add an AI style if you want one.

03Automatic

Guests leave with the gallery

On their phone in minutes by SMS, email, or the booth QR — theirs to keep, not a link that expires.

04Automatic

You leave with the lead list

Every guest who claimed a photo, plus a gallery worth sharing — the follow-up that books the next event.

Finished, not raw

Not a QR to an album that expires. A finished gallery that stays.

Most booth apps dump raw captures into a gallery that expires in a few months — blinks, blur and all. Best Memories hands back a culled, retouched gallery in minutes, kept for about a year, branded as yours. That's the difference between a link guests forget by Monday and a gallery they share all week — the kind of follow-up that wins the next booking and lets you charge a premium for this one.

Why operators switch

You're in the referral business. An expired link wins zero referrals and justifies no premium. A beautiful, retouched, on-brand gallery does both.

The gallery is your next booking

A gallery worth sharing is how the next host finds you — and why you can charge more for this one. The deliverable becomes the marketing.

A single standout keeper from a burst

Culled + retouched, automatically

Every capture comes back with the blinks and dupes gone and every face retouched — clean skin, balanced color, real texture kept. No laptop, no editing night.

Start for $0

Free, clean retouch on every shot — no watermark. AI styling free to try. No monthly floor before event one, the way Snappic and Simple Booth charge.

More than the booth, if you want it

Most operators run the booth — but the same account lets you roam the room with a phone or stream a DSLR over wifi. Every camera feeds the same gallery, with the same retouch and look.

The booth on its stand

Your iPad booth as you run it now — guests tap, pick a look, snap a burst. Their finished gallery hits their phone in seconds.

Straight off your camera, over wifi

Add coverage with a DSLR — Canon, Nikon, Sony or Fujifilm streams every frame to us as you shoot, retouched and styled in parallel.

Capturing a candid moment on a phone at an event

Roam the room

Pull out a phone for the line-jumpers, the candids, the dance floor — same gallery, same look. No second booth, no second app.

Find your photos with a selfie

Guests find themselves — you field fewer DMs.

In a busy shared gallery, every guest snaps one selfie and instantly sees just the shots they're in — no scrolling hundreds of frames, no “can you find mine?” messages the next morning. More guests reach their photos, more guests share them, and your name rides along on every one. Their selfie is only used to match — it's never saved, and it's off unless you turn it on.

Only the keepers

The booth fires bursts; we publish one keeper per moment. Guests get a clean gallery — not ten near-identical frames and a blink — and you never sort a thing.

A group of guests laughing, all eyes open

Skips the blinks

Per-face detection drops closed-eye frames, so the group shot doesn't get scrapped because one person blinked.

A tack-sharp, well-exposed booth moment

Drops blur & bad exposure

Soft, motion-blurred and blown-out frames are kept on file but never clutter the guest gallery.

A single standout portrait — the keeper of the burst

One keeper per burst

Near-identical frames are grouped and only the strongest publishes — the gallery fills with keepers, not copies.

Before · After

Every face, gently finished.

Every booth shot is retouched before it reaches a phone — blemishes and shine cleared, skin tone evened, color balanced — while keeping real texture and the person intact. No filter to tap, nothing overdone. It runs on every capture automatically, and it's free.

Styles · live gallery

A look across the whole night.

Offer guests a deep catalog of curated looks — editorial, film, fashion, festive — or build your own and brand the booth around it. Every pick is applied per guest automatically, and the styled frames stream into the gallery in seconds. AI styling is free to try with our mark; put your own brand on it when you upgrade.

The whole night, up on the wall

An upsell that runs itself.

Drop the live gallery on any TV or projector and the newest styled shot lands on the big screen seconds after the shutter — a built-in wow moment you can charge for. The on-screen QR funnels every guest straight into your branded gallery. No extra gear, no slideshow app — it's just a web page.

What changes after the shutter

The booth experience is table-stakes — everyone has one. The difference is what the guest holds the next morning, and whether it brings you the next gig.

Honest about the overlap: Snappic and friends run a great booth with real-time AI-FX (face swap, outfit swap). We're not selling a flashier filter — we're selling the finished, delivered gallery and what it does for your bookings. Their AI is a one-frame party trick metered in credits from event one; ours is free clean retouch plus a styled look across the whole set, with no monthly floor to begin.

New to the booth business?

The whole booth is an iPad

You don't need a van of gear to start. A tablet, a stand, and a ring light is a working photo booth — Best Memories is the software that turns it into one. Already shoot with a DSLR? Add wifi coverage on the same account.

A tablet, a tripod or stand, and a ring light. Lock the iPad in booth mode and guests run it themselves all night.

Or a phone rig to roam

A phone on a grip with a light becomes a roaming booth you carry — great for cocktail hour and the dance floor.

What's actually free

Free, clean retouch

Professional retouch on every photo — no watermark, no charge, every shot. This is the deliverable that beats a raw album.

AI styling, free to try

Apply an AI look at no cost — it carries a small 'bestmemories.ai' mark, within a fair-use allowance. Free to wow your guests.

Your brand, on upgrade

Upgrade to put your own brand on the AI shots (white-label, no mark) and scale volume — per-photo or a monthly Pro/Studio plan.

Straight answer: the only thing free and unwatermarked is the regular retouch. Free AI styling carries our mark — white-label (your brand or no mark) is the paid upgrade. No surprises.
