Template Editor

The template editor is where you design what your guests' photo actually looks like — the frame, the branding, the text around their capture.

How to open it

1. Go to Events and open your event.

2. Click the Flow tab.

3. Open the Choose Experience stage.

4. Click Add template, or click an existing template to edit it.

There is no menu for the editor. You reach it from Choose Experience.

Pick a size first

The canvas size sets your output's dimensions and shape, so choose it before you design anything.

"Pick the size of your photobooth layout — the canvas everything else is arranged on."

Others available: 8x6, 6x2, 3x4, 4x3, 7x5, 5x7, 16x9.

ImportantCustom requires a Premium licence on the event. If you can use a preset, use one.

The canvas size decides the shape of everything your guests receive.

The workspace

Tip - If something has vanished, it is usually behind something else. Open Layers and drag it up rather than rebuilding it.

Tools on the left, canvas in the middle, layers on the right.

Add a capture

The capture is where the guest's photo lands. Every template needs one.

Add text

Click Text, then Add a text, or start from Add a heading, add a subtitle or add a little bit of body text.

You can set the font, weight (Regular, Italic, Bold, Bold Italic, Light, Medium, Semi Bold), size, colour, alignment and case (Auto, Uppercase, Lowercase).

Note - Start from Add a heading, add a subtitle or add a little bit of body text for a sensible starting style.

Note - Using a saved text preset, or putting a {{token}} in your text, changes the licence your event needs — Pro for a preset, Premium for a token.

Add images

Browse library / Upload for your own files, Search Unsplash for stock, or Add from URL.

TipUse high-resolution PNGs for logos and frames. Anything low-resolution will look worse once printed.

Effects

Select an element, then open its Settings and use Effect → Add effect.

Note - The Effects tool in the left rail is a different thing — it sets which filters guests can apply to their own photo. Do not go there to add an effect to your design.

Important - Only one AI effect — AI Filter, AI Video or AI Effect — is allowed per element.

Important - Cutout, Green Screen and the AI effects only work on a still Image capture.

Important - The three AI effects are not on the same plan. AI Filter runs on Basic. AI Effect and AI Video both make the event Premium.

Note - AI Filter is called AI Image in Simple Mode. Same feature, two names depending on where you are.

Important - Filters and Cutout need a Pro licence. Audio and video elements need Premium.

Effects apply to whichever element you have selected.

Save

1. Type a name in Template Name.

2. Click Save Changes, or Save as to keep the original and create a copy.

Important - Saving the template is not enough on its own. Save the event too, or your change will not reach the booth.

Tip - Reset Canvas clears everything. Undo and Redo are next to it.

Before the event

Run a Simulation test from the Launchpad and look at a real output. A frame that looks right on the canvas can still crop awkwardly around a real person.

TipLeave room around the edges if you are printing. Printers trim.
