We've made a video to walk you through customizing your online gallery.


To customize how your gallery looks on Shared.Gallery & the iPad App, you edit the event on Booth.Events:

  1. Open the event on Booth.Events, and hit the "Edit Event" button on the right (use the action arrow at the top-right if you're on a smaller screen device

  2. Go to the either the "Gallery" tab or "iPad"

In the Gallery Settings you can change the following:

  • Event Logo Below you can see the event brand image in the Shared.Gallery gallery, on the right side of the photo. You can also change the image at the top left: that's your user profile image, which you change by editing your profile (click your account at the top-right on Booth.Events)

  • Colors. You can see what each color changes in the description on the right: these affect both the Shared.Gallery gallery and the iPad App.

  • Hide aspects of your Gallery: You can customize what can be seen when guests view you gallery

  • Add Content and a call to action button. You can customize a message for guests who are viewing the gallery and have a call to action to take them to a specific place. (You can have either or both!)

  • Custom HTML - Power users have been asking for it, now you can use custom HTML where your message would appear.

When you save your changes they take effect immediately on the gallery of this event on Shared.Gallery. The information will also save when switching tabs in the editor.


iPad Branding:

by default you can edit some basic color features as well as the Capture message/event hashtag.

Advanced iPad Customization

Depending on your plan, you can completely change the appearance of the iPad app's capture screen (the screen the guest experience starts on), as well as changing the background of the screens after the capture screen.

By default the background of the iPad home screen is the live view feed from your camera. You can choose an Attract Screen for the home screen background. This can be the same as the Attract Screen the event is using for the screensaver, or a different one.

If you choose an Attract Screen for the home screen background then your Attract Screen can have a video playing, image elements, and/or live view too, blended with the alpha (opacity) you choose.

Change the capture buttons

By default the iPad App shows the capture buttons (photo, slow-mo, boomerang) in a white container. If you want to change the appearance of the buttons, you can upload your own images; when you do this, the white container is not shown. Some things to keep in mind:

  • Use PNGs to get transparency

  • The dimensions of the images determines the button size: make sure your images all have the same height

  • We recommend a height of 200 pixels

  • If your buttons are too wide, they'll scroll left/right

  • Changes take effect immediately upon setting the image and are immediately synchronized & updated in the iPad App, so don't change these while an event is live if you don't want the button appearance to change in the middle of the event

Change the background of the screens after the capture screen

By default, after the capture screen the guests see a background that's blue with confetti. You can change this, here:

You should choose a JPG or PNG image that is the same size as the iPad screen it'll be shown on, in the orientation you plan to use. For example on an iPad 9.7" in portrait orientation you'd want to upload an image that is 768 x 1024 pixels.
