Comparison · Jolti or a photo booth?
The photo booth alternative with zero setup
A photo booth sits in a corner waiting for guests. Jolti collects photos from everywhere in the room – straight from your guests' phones – and plays them as short AI videos live on the TV or projector.

Which one fits?
Jolti fits when …
… you have no space or patience for setup, want every guest to join in wherever they are, and want the photos to play on the big screen for everyone.
A photo booth fits when …
… printed photos to take home matter, you love props and backdrops, or many guests won't have a smartphone with them.
