Snappic can operate without a constant internet connection during your event. However, there are some important details to understand regarding sharing and printing when offline.

Important Notes
Internet is required only for event setup and photo sharing.
You can continue to capture and print photos offline without issue.
Queued uploads will automatically resume once the iPad reconnects.
If sharing instantly is a key feature for your event, ensure a stable WiFi or mobile hotspot connection.
Setting Up Your Event
You will initially need internet access on your iPad to:
Add your event to the Snappic app
Download all required resources (templates, overlays, settings, etc.)
Once your event is fully downloaded and started, an internet connection is no longer mandatory to run your photo booth.
Running Your Event Offline
If your iPad loses internet connectivity during the event:
Snappic will queue all shares and uploads in the background.
Guests will not receive their photos instantly, but Snappic will automatically send them as soon as the iPad reconnects to the internet.
This allows your event to continue running smoothly even without live connectivity.
Printing While Offline
Even if your iPad is offline, you can still print on-site — as long as your iPad and printer are connected to the same local network. See our Printing Guide for more on printing.
Printing does not require internet access, but it does require a network connection (WiFi or LAN).
Your photos will still be queued for online upload and automatically sent once internet access is restored.
