A photo booth that runs on an iPad
Patifot turns an iPad into the brain of an event photo booth. Guests pose, the app shoots, styles the photo with AI when the event calls for it, and prints on a DNP QW410. You prepare everything in advance from a web dashboard.
Patifot is in early access. There is no self-serve sign-up yet: write to us, tell us about your booths, and we will set up your operator account.
Made for people who run booths for a living
Patifot is built for event professionals: wedding and party operators, agencies with several booths, venues with a permanent installation. One dashboard covers the whole fleet. Licenses are tied to devices rather than accounts, so adding a booth means activating one more iPad.
Four capture modes, configured per event
-
Classic print, 10×15 cm
A photo with the frame you designed for the event. The guest sees the framed result before it prints.
-
AI photo, 10×15 cm
The guest photo restyled with the prompt you set for the evening. One style per event, so the output stays consistent.
-
Split pair, 2 × 10×7.5 cm
Two identical prints from one shot. The printer cuts the sheet in half, and both guests leave with a copy.
-
AI split pair
The same half-cut pair, with AI styling applied before printing.
You choose which modes an event offers and lock its print layout in the dashboard before doors open. The booth follows the published configuration.
AI photos without the babysitting
Pick a style before the event. One prompt covers the whole evening, and you can test it on sample photos in the dashboard sandbox until it looks right. During the event the booth applies it to every guest who picks the AI mode.
Generation runs on servers in the EU. If your credits run out in the middle of an event, nothing stops: the balance goes negative and you settle it with the next top-up. A live event is never blocked.
Built around the DNP QW410 direct USB in development
Patifot targets the DNP QW410, the dye-sublimation printer that fits in a booth cabinet and survives a wedding season. It prints 10×15 sheets and 10×7.5 pairs using the printer's own half cut.
We are building a driver that talks to the printer straight over USB from the iPad, with no laptop or print server in the middle. Direct USB printing is in development and will ship as a free app update.
Bad venue Wi-Fi is not your problem
Capture, frames and print composition run locally on the iPad, and the full event configuration is cached in advance. The classic modes work with no connection at all. AI modes need the network, and the rest of the evening keeps going when it drops.
Prepare events from your desk
The dashboard is where an event takes shape: upload the frame (it is checked for resolution, transparency and safe print zones on the spot), write and test the AI prompt, set the idle screen, then publish. Booths pick up the published version on their own, and you see which version each iPad is running.
The idle screen belongs to the event, not to us: the couple's monogram, a client logo, a looping video. Guests never see Patifot branding.
Guest privacy, by design
Guests get their photos through a QR code or a PIN, never through face search, and we store no face embeddings. Photos are deleted 24 to 72 hours after the event; the operator picks the exact window. A consent screen at the booth tells guests what happens with their pictures. The details are in the privacy policy.
Run your next season on Patifot
We are onboarding a first group of operators and shaping the product around their events.
