About Boothstrip

Every online photo booth we tried wanted something first. An app install. An account. A watermark across the finished strip. Or worst of all, a copy of the photos on somebody else’s server.

A photo booth is a small, silly, personal thing. It should not cost you your privacy to use one. So we built the opposite: open a link, allow the camera, take four shots. Nothing to install, nothing to sign up for, and nothing that leaves your device.

The booth is one client-side component, not a service. Press Start Camera and the browser hands the page a video stream. Each of the four shots is grabbed from that stream, drawn onto a temporary canvas, and kept as image data in the page’s memory. Nothing is written to disk and nothing is sent anywhere.

The live camera preview uses CSS filters, which are fast enough to keep up with a moving video. The exported strip is different: it is filtered pixel by pixel as it is composed, so the downloaded file renders identically on every browser — including iOS Safari, where canvas filters are unreliable.

The strip is composed at 1,200 pixels wide for sharing, or 600 pixels for printing, which is 2 × 6 inches at 300 DPI. None of that involves a server, because there is no server to send it to. That is not a policy we could quietly change later — it is how the tool is built.

For completeness: the one request the site makes to an outside service is to Fontshare, which serves the two typefaces. That request carries the usual metadata a browser sends (IP address, browser version) and nothing at all about your photos. Everything else is served from our own domain.

No accounts. No tracking cookies. No third-party analytics. No advertising. No watermark on your download. And no copy of your photos, because they never leave your browser.

The tools are free and stay free. If any of the above ever changes, this page will be updated before the change ships.

Start the camera booth if you want to take shots now, or open the photo strip maker if you already have photos on your phone.
