Using AI Effects

An AI Effect transforms your guest's photo — a beautified version, a retro treatment, black and white. You choose the look when you build the template, and every guest gets it automatically.

ImportantAn event using an AI Effect needs a Premium licence. You can build the template on any plan, but the booth will not start without one.

Before you start

• You need enough Tokens. Each capture that goes through an AI Effect spends them.

• Check your balance under Billing.

Add an AI Effect to a template

1. Go to Events and open your event.

2. Click the Flow tab and open the Choose Experience stage.

3. Click Add template.

4. Pick a size, then add a Capture.

5. Select the capture, open its Settings, then Effect.

6. Choose AI Effect.

7. Pick the looks you want. You can select more than one.

8. Name the template and click Save Changes.

9. Save the event as well.

Important - The capture must be a still Image. AI effects cannot be applied to a GIF or Video capture.

Important - Do not use the Effects tool in the left rail — that sets which filters guests can apply to their own photo, and selecting it clears your element selection.

AI Effect is applied to the capture element.

Select one or several. Every guest gets the same result.

NoteThe looks here come from prompts tagged as effects, so your list may differ from someone else's.

Important - A prompt you write yourself will not necessarily appear in this picker — there is no control in the Prompt Builder for tagging a prompt as an effect. If you need a custom look, use AI Filter instead, or contact us.

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

Tip - If Premium is the problem, AI Filter does a similar job on a Basic licence. It is the same feature Simple Mode calls AI Image. You cannot combine AI Effect and AI Video on the same capture.

Tip - An AI Effect gives every guest the same treatment, which keeps a set of photos looking consistent.

Note - AI Filter works differently: one prompt produces up to four output variations, and a template is capped at four AI Filter captures. It is not a menu of unrelated looks for guests to browse.

Test it before the event

1. Open the Launchpad.

2. Click Simulation test and take a photo.

3. Wait a few seconds for processing.

4. Check the result under Sessions or the Internal Gallery.

Tip - Always look at a real generated output rather than the canvas preview. AI results vary with the photo, and this is where you find out whether the look suits your lighting.
