Local capture
Turn any camera
into a photo booth.
Press a key. A numbered, timestamped JPEG lands in your own folder.
Straight to your disk. Nothing is uploaded and no picture reaches this site.
Built for a stack. One key per shot, numbered in order, two hundred without stopping.
Nothing to install. A web page that works offline, using a camera you own.
How it works
Four steps once, then one key per shot.
- Choose a folder. The browser asks once. Everything is written straight into it.
- Name an album. A dated subfolder. Switch between them and each keeps its own numbering.
- Shoot. Hit Space — or clap, say a word, or set the timer and walk into frame.
- Straighten anything crooked. Press R to open the album. Rotation is written back over the same file.
What is in it
Every camera you own
Built-in, USB, handheld. Plug one in mid-session and it appears without a reload.
Document rendering
Drop colour, lift contrast, sharpen the strokes. Paper goes white and the letters carry the page.
Hands-free triggers
A clap, a keyword, or a twelve-second timer that counts down out loud.
Review without leaving
Fitted to the window to check the framing, zoomed to real pixels to check the text.
Strips and stop motion
Four shots to one strip. Onion skin over the preview, and playback at any rate.
Files you can use
Plain numbered JPEGs in plain folders. Nothing proprietary, nothing to export.
What people use it for
Two shapes, really: a stack under a fixed camera, or a camera pointed at people. Everything below is one of those two with a different thing in front of the lens.
Books and long documents
Both hands stay on the book — clap or say a word and it fires. Document mode turns a grey photograph of paper into something much closer to a scan.
Document mode · sharpening · clap and keyword triggers · straighten in review
Receipts and paperwork
One album a month and the pile is filed by the time you have finished sorting it. Nothing passes through a cloud inbox on the way.
Document mode · one key per shot · plain JPEGs in a plain folder
Products, parts and materials
Fifty items that will end up side by side in a listing or a catalogue. A camera that does not move and a key that does the same thing every time is what makes them match.
Fixed framing · alignment guides · consistent tone and sharpening
People and events
Set the self-timer and it counts down out loud, so everyone knows when to hold still. Nobody has to touch the machine, and the pictures land on your laptop rather than a stranger’s server.
Self-timer to 12s · spoken countdown · screen as a fill light · four shots to a strip
Stop motion
The last frame sits ghosted over the live preview, so you can see how far the puppet actually moved instead of moving it and hoping. Play it back to find out whether it reads.
Onion skin · playback at any rate · numbered frames any editor takes as a sequence
Anything OBS can composite
OBS Virtual Camera appears here as an ordinary camera, so whatever OBS builds is what the shutter sees: a real camera through a capture card, a green screen already replaced, a logo or timestamp burned in, or a window that is not in front of a lens at all.
A DSLR as the camera · chroma key · overlays baked in · scenes as camera angles
Where your shots go
Into your folder. That is the whole answer. The page runs in your browser and writes files directly to the folder you chose. There is no server holding your images.
One exception, stated where you turn it on: the optional voice-keyword trigger uses the browser's own speech service, so your microphone — never your shots — goes to it.
What you need
Chrome or Edge, because writing straight into a folder needs the File System Access API. Any webcam — its resolution is the real limit on how readable a page comes out. Something to hold it still, if you want a hundred shots to match.
Open it and shoot something.
It asks for a folder and a camera. That is the setup.
Already used it? The booth remembers your folder and your last album.
