Using and printing

Photo booth guide

This guide walks through the whole booth: choosing a layout, taking or uploading photos, refining the composition, and saving a PNG that matches the paper size or screen shape you have in mind.

How it works

  1. Pick a layout. The layout is chosen first because it decides how many photos the session takes: one, two, three, four, or six, depending on the template.
  2. Shoot or upload. Capture with the camera after a short countdown, or select existing JPEG, PNG, or WebP files from the device. Camera shots and uploads can be mixed in one session.
  3. Refine. Switch the style, tune the film filter, add stickers, and replace or clear any single photo slot that did not turn out.
  4. Download the PNG. The finished composition is rendered in the browser and saved straight to the device, ready for print or posting.

After shooting, layouts that use the same number of photos can be swapped freely — moving from Classic Four Strip to Hero 1+3 keeps every captured photo in place, for example. Switching to a layout with a different photo count means starting a new session.

Print guide

Layouts marked as print templates are drawn at 300 DPI, the resolution photo printers commonly use. Pixel sizes translate to paper with simple division: divide each side by 300, and a 600 × 1800 px image becomes a 2 × 6 in strip.

For printing, use photo paper at home or hand the PNG to a photo printing service and ask for the matching paper size. Paper choice, printer settings, and viewing distance all affect the result, so a small test print is a sensible first step for an important keepsake.

Screen layouts carry no print size. They are sized in pixels for screens:

These match the shapes social platforms commonly use for posts and stories, so the files upload as they are. Printing a screen layout is possible, but its size on paper depends entirely on the print settings chosen.

Browser compatibility

The booth targets current browsers on the devices most people already have:

The live camera needs two things: a secure HTTPS page and an explicit permission grant. Access is requested only after “Use camera” is pressed, and in-app browsers inside other apps usually block it — if that happens, open the site directly in Safari or Chrome. Uploading photos does not depend on the camera, so layouts, styling, and export all work without camera permission.

Sharing uses the browser’s built-in share sheet, which varies by browser and operating system. Where it is unavailable, Download PNG is the reliable fallback everywhere.

Saving on a phone: on iPhone, choose Download PNG and then pick “Save to Photos” (or save to Files) from the download or share menu — what appears depends on your iOS version. On Android, the PNG lands in your Downloads folder like any other download.

Opened from a social app? If you opened ClickHug inside a social app and the camera or download is unavailable, open this page in Safari on iPhone or Chrome on Android.

Camera permission denied by mistake? Click the padlock or camera icon at the left end of the address bar, set Camera to Allow, reload the page, and press “Use camera” again.
