Photo Booth Studio
What is a photo booth template?
A photo booth template is the designed frame your photos drop into: the layout of photo slots (the classic vertical strip, a 2×2 grid, a postcard), plus the decoration around them — event name, date, colors, and graphics. The template is what turns four selfies into a keepsake that says "Ana & Luis, July 2026."
The problem with downloadable templates
Search for "photo strip template" and you'll find Etsy listings selling PSD and PNG overlay files. They work — if you own Photoshop, know the right pixel dimensions, and enjoy compositing photos manually after the party. For a live booth, you need the template inside the capture app, so every session composes and prints itself. That's how Photo Booth Studio works: templates are live — photos flow into the layout the moment they're taken.
Option 1: start from a premade template
Photo Booth Studio ships with dozens of ready-made templates organized by occasion — birthday, wedding, graduation, and more. Pick one, and it's immediately shootable and printable. Most are editable too: swap the name, change the date, keep the design.
Option 2: design your own from scratch
The built-in designer gives you the same pieces the Etsy sellers use, live on your iPad:
- Layouts: classic 4-photo strips, grids, and larger formats — pick how many shots each session takes and how they're arranged.
- Text & fonts: a large font catalog from script to modern; add names, dates, hashtags.
- Hundreds of stickers: florals, balloons, grad caps, hearts, party hats — drag them onto the strip.
- Colors & backgrounds: match the strip to your event palette exactly.
Template ideas by event
- Wedding: names + date in a script font, white or blush background, one floral corner. See the full wedding booth guide.
- Birthday: "NAME turns AGE!" in a chunky font with confetti stickers — ideas in the birthday guide.
- Quinceañera: blush pink + metallic gold, bilingual caption — see quinceañera photo booth ideas.
- Graduation: school colors, "Class of 2026", cap sticker — see the grad party guide.
- Corporate: logo, event hashtag, brand color border. Clean beats clever on prints people pin at their desks.
From template to printed strip
Once the template's set, the pipeline is automatic: guests shoot, the app composes the strip, and it prints over AirPrint or shares by iMessage, WhatsApp, email, or AirDrop. Printing details — paper sizes, the 2×6 double-strip trick, printer picks — are in the photo strip printing guide.
FAQ
Do custom templates cost extra?
The app is free to download and try, with premade templates and the designer built in. The Pro subscription unlocks the full catalog and removes the Booth Studio watermark from your photos and prints — the setup you'd want for a real event.
Can I reuse a template for the next event?
Yes — your designs are saved. Duplicate last year's birthday strip and bump the age.
What size is a classic photo strip?
2×6 inches, four photos stacked. Strip templates print two-up on standard 4×6 photo paper — cut once down the middle.
