Once you are done, you can click on Save.

How Does AI-FX Work?

AI-FX applies AI-powered image generation techniques to modify guest photos taken at a Snappic-powered photo booth. Here’s how it works:

Guest Takes a Photo at the Booth – The guest captures an image using the photo booth.
Photo is Sent for AI Processing – The image is not rendered instantly at the booth but instead uploaded to Snappic’s cloud servers, where the AI generates the effect.
Guest Receives the AI-Generated Image – The final AI-enhanced image is delivered via the sharing method selected by the guest (email or text message).
AI-FX Image is Available at the Share Station (if set up) – The AI-generated image will also be available on the Share Station, allowing guests to view, share and print their creations further.

This seamless cloud-based process ensures that guests receive high-quality AI-enhanced images without slowing down the photo booth experience.

Where to find the AI-FX Experience on the app

When your event is set up, you can start your photo booth. You will notice that AI-FX has no "experience button." You will find the AI effects under the 'Still' section.

You will have the option to select between the general still photo frame or an AI photo frame.

You will notice a small AI text box in the top corner of the template. This indicates the difference between the AI Photo Frame and the Still Photo frame.

AI-FX Credits & Pricing

AI-FX requires AI credits to generate images. Each AI effect uses credits as follows:

1 AI credit per AI-generated image sent to a guest.
0.25 AI credits per test image (for testing effects on the event dashboard).

Credits must be purchased in advance through the Snappic platform, allowing operators to manage their AI usage based on event needs.

Where to purchase AI-FX Credits

To Purchase/Top Up AI-FX credits, we will go to the Account tab and select Top Up.

Then, we can select the credit amount required and press Next on the bottom right.
