The new Snappic Uploader app will allow you to upload media from external sessions directly to your Snappic event gallery (or microsite).

These external sessions can be from a Windows Photo Booth software, Photo Array, 360 booth software, etc.

Now, you can utilize Snappic's microsite, AI Sharing, analytics, etc., with different photo booth software options.


How to Setup Uploader app

Download and Install the Photo Booth Uploader App. It can be found on the resources tab on your dashboard.

Once the uploader is installed, log in to your Snappic account using the exact details as the dashboard.

Once logged in, select an event. Note that only live events will fill out the Photo Booth Uploader App.

Now click "Add new folder."

Select "Click to browse on your device" under "Browse." This will allow you to select a folder on your dashboard that the Snappic Uploader App will watch for new media. If you want it to pull photos/GIFs/Videos from Dropbox, select a Dropbox folder.

For this example, we are making sure we have "Include sub-folder" as we select the folder type "VIDEO" and the subfolder "Video" found inside the "Watch Folder" on my desktop. See red arrows for context.

Click the "Done" button.

And then the "Start" button.

Excellent, you are all set! All media should be streaming into your Snappic event from that folder. You can re-queue failed uploads by clicking the button at the top right and watching all uploads from the table.


Please note: folder types will not appear if they are inactive on your event.

For example, if Video is not enabled on your event, the Video folder type will not appear.


Photo, GIF, and Burst size limits for the Uploader app:

Still - 6MB

Gif - 10MB

Video - 80MB

Video File Size Limits for Uploader app:

*Due to the video's large size, the app will use a single credit for every 20MB.

<20MB = 1 Credit

<40MB = 2 Credits

<60MB = 3 Credits

<80MB = 4 Credits


Uploader app Credits
