I built this photobooth to be a fun, creative tool that respects your digital footprint. Because this is a client-side application, all the "magic" happens right in your browser.
Unlike traditional apps that upload your media to a cloud server, this project uses your browser's local capabilities.
When you take a photo, the image data stays in your computer's temporary memory (RAM). When you click "Download," the file is generated locally. I have zero access to your camera feed or the resulting images.
Your browser will ask for camera permission. This is used solely to render the live preview on your screen. No video data is ever recorded or transmitted to an external server.
I believe in a clean web experience. That means:
If you choose to share your photos on social media, that happens through your own accounts and is subject to their privacy policies. This site won't do it for you.
