Sparkbooth Photo Booth Software News

We’re excited to announce new enhancements to QR Code Photo, making it even easier for guests to access and share their photo booth memories! If you're using Sparkbooth with QR Code Photo service, these updates will help create a more engaging and seamless experience for your event attendees.

🎯 What’s New?

📊 Photo View & Download Counts

Now, you can see how many times each photo has been viewed and downloaded. This feature gives valuable insights into guest engagement and helps you measure the impact of your photo booth experience.

🔗 Social Media Sharing Links

Each photo page now includes Facebook and Twitter sharing buttons, allowing guests to share their memories with just a click!

📂 View All Event Photos in One Place

Event hosts can enable an option that lets guests browse all uploaded photos from an event. This creates a fun way for attendees to relive the night and see photos from their friends!

📞 Contact & Social Media Links

Event hosts can now display contact information and social media links directly on the photo and event pickup pages. This makes it easier for guests to connect with your brand or business.

🎟️ How Does QR Code Photo Pickup Work?

QR Code Photo Pickup is a simple and effective way to deliver digital photo booth images to guests:

  1. Unique QR codes are placed on photo booth layouts pointing guests to the online pickup page.
  2. Guests can scan the QR code immediately or access their photos later.
  3. The system works offline—photos can be uploaded later when an internet connection is available.

💡 Perfect for events, weddings, parties, and brand activations!

As of March 31, 2025, Google Photos will no longer be available as an upload option in Sparkbooth. This change is due to updates in Google’s integration requirements, which have made the process more restrictive.

We recommend using Google Drive as an alternative for uploading and sharing your photos. Google Drive offers greater reliability and the ability to link directly to individual photos, making it a seamless experience for your needs.


Counter screen overlay demo

We're thrilled to announce a brand new feature in Sparkbooth that enhances the way you track your photo booth sessions and prints — the Counter Screen Overlay! This new feature is exclusively available in the Sparkbooth 7.2 Beta, and it makes keeping tabs on your sessions, prints, and uploads easier than ever.

We’ve revamped the Counter Dialog UI to ensure all the crucial information is always at your fingertips. Here’s what’s new:


📊 Counters in the Lower Left Corner

No need to keep the counter dialog open while running your booth. With the new overlay feature, you can now display all your counters directly on the screen in the lower-left corner. This keeps your session information visible without disrupting the photo-taking experience.

👁️ Easy Toggle with the Display Button

Want to show or hide the overlay? We've added an eye icon button next to each counter in the Counter Dialog. Just click the eye icon to quickly toggle the display of each counter. Customize which counters are visible on the overlay based on what matters most to you during your events.

🖥️ Simplified Counter Dialog UI

We’ve streamlined the Counter Dialog interface to make it cleaner and more user-friendly. You can easily reset counters, see your print limits, and track session numbers with just a glance. No more clutter — just the essential info when you need it.


🚀 Why You'll Love This Update

  • Stay Informed: Always know how many sessions you've run, prints you've completed, and uploads processed — right on your screen.
  • Flexibility: Choose which counters you want to see and hide the ones you don’t need.
  • Efficiency: Spend less time clicking through menus and more time creating memorable moments for your guests.

🔧 How to Use It

  1. Upgrade to Sparkbooth 7.2 Beta to access this feature.
  2. Open the Counters Dialog.
  3. Next to each counter, you'll see an eye icon.
  4. Click the eye icon to toggle visibility for that specific counter.
  5. When enabled, the counter will display in the lower-left corner of the screen.

This enhancement helps keep your photo booth sessions running smoothly while giving you full control of your counters at a glance. We can't wait to see how this feature helps streamline your events!
