GIF Photo Booth Software

Included with every Sparkbooth Premium and Sparkbooth DSLR license — not a paid add-on.

GIF rewind photo booth example

Sparkbooth Premium and DSLR include GIF Booth mode for creating animated GIFs from a burst of photos. Add static or animated overlays to brand each clip, and switch on boomerang or rewind to make loops that play forward and then backwards. Guests get the finished GIF on their phone through email, SMS and QR code sharing.

System requirements: Windows 10 or later, or macOS 13.7 or later, a webcam, 4GB or more RAM, and an i3 processor or better (2.0 GHz or faster) recommended. Using a Canon, Nikon or Sony camera?

A GIF Booth Is Still a Full Sparkbooth

GIF Booth is a mode, not a separate app. Everything else you run at an event — touchscreen signing, green screen, custom layouts and email, SMS and QR code sharing — works alongside it.

Simple and Easy

Simple and Easy

Install Sparkbooth on any Windows or Mac computer with a webcam, pick GIF Booth mode, and you are ready to go. Add some props and a backdrop and the party runs itself.

Touchscreen Enabled

Guests sign, draw and drag virtual props onto their photos with a touchscreen or mouse. Use your own image files as stickers.

Green Screen

Green Screen

Swap the backdrop for a scene from Sparkbooth's library or the client's own artwork, so one physical setup covers every theme you sell.

Drag-and-Drop Layout Editor

Sparkbooth layout editor

Design the printed strip or 4″ × 6″ keepsake that goes with the GIF in the visual layout editor, with the client's logo in the corner.

Email your photos

Guests type in their address on the booth screen and Sparkbooth sends the GIF through your own email service or SMTP server. Sharing queues up when the venue Wi-Fi drops.

Text Photos to Mobile Devices

Send the GIF straight to a guest's phone by SMS through your messaging provider, or show a QR code on screen that they scan to pick it up — no typing at all.

GIF Booth Is Included in Both Licenses

GIF Booth mode is part of Sparkbooth Premium and Sparkbooth DSLR — a one-time, non-expiring license with three activations and commercial use included. There is no GIF upcharge, no monthly fee and no charge per event.

GIF Photo Booth Questions

Which license includes the GIF booth?

Both. Premium ($149 USD) covers webcams; DSLR ($189 USD) adds Canon, Nikon and Sony cameras. GIF Booth mode is included either way — it is not a paid add-on.

Can I add overlays and branding to GIFs?

Yes. Place a static overlay or an animated overlay on top of every frame — a logo, an event hashtag, a sponsor frame or the couple's names — so each GIF carries the client's branding when it is shared.

Can guests get their GIF by text, email or QR code?

Yes. Email, SMS and QR code sharing all work for GIFs just as they do for photos. Guests enter an email address or mobile number on the booth screen, or scan a QR code shown on screen to open the GIF on their phone. SMS goes through your own messaging provider.
