What Sparkbooth is
Sparkbooth turns a Windows or Mac computer with a webcam or compatible camera into a photo booth for capturing, printing, and sharing photos. Guests can receive images by email, text, or QR code, while automatic printing is supported. The app covers webcam, DSLR, mirror, GIF, boomerang, AI photo, and photo-kiosk modes. A drag-and-drop editor, drawing, stickers, green-screen or AI background removal, and AI transformations provide customization. Webcams up to 4K are supported; the DSLR edition supports compatible Canon, Nikon, and Sony cameras. Capture and printing can work offline, queuing uploads until later. The fully functional 30-day trial needs no credit card but watermarks trial photos. Premium costs $149, paid once; DSLR costs $189, paid once. Both include commercial use, lifetime licensing, three activations, Windows and macOS support, and no per-event fee. Optional AI Photos and QR Code Photos services require separate subscriptions.
