Need a quick profile picture or a silly four-shot strip? Start your webcam, pick a filter from the live preview, and press Space. Photos are taken at the camera’s full resolution, collected in a gallery and saved to your device without a single frame leaving it.

Overview
A browser photo booth starts with a live camera feed from getUserMedia. Taking a picture copies the current frame onto a canvas at the camera’s native resolution, usually 1280×720 for built-in laptop webcams and 1920×1080 for many external ones. You can ask for 720p or 1080p, pick between several cameras, and choose whether the image is mirrored like a mirror or kept in true orientation. The mirror setting applies to both the preview and the saved photo, so what you see is what you get.
The twelve filters are calculated as pixel math rather than CSS effects: black and white, a punchy noir with a vignette, sepia, a faded vintage look, vivid, warm, cool, dreamy, pop art (boosted saturation posterized to four levels per channel), blueprint and an X-ray negative. Each one is a colour matrix plus optional posterize and vignette steps. Because the same code runs on the live preview and the full-size capture, the result looks identical in every browser.
Photo strip mode takes three or four shots with a countdown before each one and lays them out on a single canvas: a classic vertical strip or a 2×2 grid, on a frame colour of your choice, with an optional caption such as the date printed underneath in a contrasting colour. A brief on-screen flash and a synthetic shutter click confirm each shot. Strips are built at up to 960 pixels per frame, so a four-shot strip from a 16:9 camera comes out at roughly 1076×2600 pixels, a tall image that looks great on a phone screen.
Every photo is kept as a lossless PNG in the gallery. When you download, you choose PNG or JPG with a quality slider; a 1080p photo is typically a few hundred kilobytes as JPG at quality 90 and two to four times larger as PNG. Download photos one at a time or everything together as a ZIP. Nothing is stored after you close the tab, so save the shots you want to keep.
| Filter | Look | Good for |
|---|---|---|
| Original / Warm | Natural, slightly warmer skin | Profile pictures |
| B&W / Noir | Monochrome, noir adds contrast and vignette | Dim rooms, dramatic portraits |
| Sepia / Vintage | Brown tones, faded blacks | Retro party strips |
| Vivid / Pop art | Saturated, pop art posterized | Fun strips and stickers |
| Cool / Blueprint / X-ray | Blue tints and negatives | Playful effects |
Click Start camera and allow access; choose a camera and 720p or 1080p if you have options.
Pick a filter from the row under the preview and turn mirroring on or off.
Choose Single photo or Photo strip, set the countdown, frame colour and caption.
Press Take photo or the Space bar and hold your pose.
Select shots in the gallery and download them as PNG or JPG, or all at once as a ZIP.
Use cases
Take a clean, well-lit headshot for a work chat, forum or conference badge without hunting for a phone or moving files between devices. Use Original or a gentle warm filter and download as PNG for further editing.
Set up a laptop at a birthday or office party and let guests make filtered photo strips with a custom frame colour and the event name as the caption, then send the ZIP to everyone afterwards.
Hold an item or a signed page up to the webcam and capture a still when your phone isn’t handy. Turn mirroring off so any text reads the right way round.
Pro tips
Answers to common questions about the photo booth.
They are captured at whatever the camera actually delivers, which is shown under the resolution setting. Many built-in webcams deliver 1280×720 (about 0.9 megapixels) even when 1080p is requested; external webcams commonly reach 1920×1080.
Colour filters such as warm, cool or black and white don’t change the resolution. Pop art deliberately reduces each colour channel to four levels, and vintage and noir darken the corners. Download as PNG to avoid any extra compression.
The booth takes three or four photos with a countdown before each one, three seconds apart after the first, then places them on one canvas with your frame colour and caption. The strip appears in the gallery as a single image.
Webcam sensors are small, so in dim light the camera raises its gain, which adds noise. More light in front of you is the most effective fix; black and white filters also make noise less noticeable.
