BUILT BY A PHOTOGRAPHER · RUNNING BOOTHS SINCE 2013

Your iPad. Your printer.
Nothing in between.

Patifot sends each print from the iPad straight to a DNP QW410 over one USB cable. The booth needs no laptop and no print server, and a guest goes from pose to print in under a minute.

EXAMPLES · FOUR EVENTS

Four kinds of events, one booth

Illustrations of four typical events, generated for this page. The people and events are made up: these are not client photos, testimonials or screenshots of the app.

TWO WAYS TO RUN IT

Use just an iPad, or put it into a modern ultra-compact photo booth

Patifot is the app. It runs on an iPad and prints to a DNP QW410. What goes around them is your choice.

Just an iPad

The iPad on a stand next to the printer. This is everything Patifot needs.

Illustration: two guests at an evening wedding reception pose in front of a white glossy ultra-compact photo booth whose whole front glows, with an iPad inside and a print coming out of the side slot.
Illustration: a white glossy ultra-compact photo booth on four slim legs in a bright event space, its front glowing, with an iPad inside and a small print at the side slot.

Ultra-compact photo booth

A white glossy body on slim legs. The whole front is a softly glowing light panel with the iPad set into it, and the prints come out at the side.

The booth is an optional enclosure. The app and the DNP QW410 work the same way with or without it. All images in this section are generated illustrations with fictional people.

CLASSIC MODE · FOUR PRINT FORMATS

One booth, four ways to leave with a print

Every photo gets your event frame, and the guest sees the framed result before it prints. You pick the print format for each event in the dashboard, and the booth follows the version you publish.

10×15 full sheet

Your frame fills the whole sheet, with one shot or several.

Three 5×10 strips

The printer cuts one sheet into three identical strips, so three guests each keep a copy.

10×10 square with a 5×10 strip

A square photo, plus a strip you can fill with your client's logo or message.

Two 7.5×10 halves

One shot, two identical prints. The printer cuts the sheet in half and two guests each keep one.

DIRECT USB PRINTING

The iPad talks to the QW410 directly.

The app drives the DNP QW410 over one USB-C cable, with no computer in between. It sends each job itself and tells the printer where to cut strips and halves.

DNP QW410

Prints the full 10×15 sheet, three 5×10 strips, a 10×10 square with a 5×10 strip, or two 7.5×10 halves.

iPad with an M chip

Any iPad with an Apple M-series chip and iPadOS 17 or later. The app needs it to drive the printer over USB.

WORKS OFFLINE

Bad venue Wi-Fi is not your problem

Before the doors open, while it is online, the iPad downloads the event setup and its permission to run the event. From then on, capture, framing and printing run on the iPad: when the connection drops, the booth keeps shooting and printing, and photos upload once the network comes back.

WEB DASHBOARD

Prepare the whole event from your desk

Upload the frame and the idle screen, pick the print format and publish. Booths pick up the published version on their own, and you can see which version each iPad runs. Every iPad working at the same time uses one booth seat.

THE IDLE SCREEN CAN SHOW YOUR CLIENT'S IMAGE OR VIDEO. THE PATIFOT PRIVACY NOTICE STAYS VISIBLE.

GUEST PRIVACY

The event keeps its photos. Nobody builds a face index.

Closed event archive

Photos go into a closed archive in the EU for the operator or the event host. There is no public gallery, and guests do not get photos by QR code or PIN.

Deleted on a fixed date

We delete event photos from our servers 90 days after the later of two dates: the end of the event day in local time and the last confirmed upload.

Notice before the camera starts

The camera starts only after the guest has seen the privacy notice and pressed Start shooting.

WHY IT WORKS

Built by a photographer who ran the booths himself

Each feature comes from a real event, from a living-room birthday to a corporate night for 1,000 guests. Thirteen years of setting up booths, and of fixing printer drivers at the worst possible moment, went into this app.
