2) GIF (Animated Images)
Graphics Interchange Format (GIF) is a bitmap image format that has turned very popular in recent years, along with the emergence of memes and TikTok. This particular type of photo booth can turn a series of photos taken, into the form of moving images! The GIF images can then be sent through email and social media platforms for your keepsake.

4) Magnet / Flipbook Print
4R/6R photo prints have been a constant for instant photo booths in events. However, there is an increasing trend of having your photos printed in other forms, like magnet photos and flipbooks.
For magnets, the photos do have magnetic sheet backing which allows the photos to be attached to magnetic surfaces like fridges and whiteboards.
While for flipbooks, the guests would be taking a series of photos and using customised software, the photos would generate into a flipbook.

The Infinity Mirror Photo Booth is a creative photo booth that has an innovative interior build of mirror sheets and bright lightings.

11) GIF Boomerang Photo Booth
This is different from the GIF (Animated Images) photo booth that was shared above. Instead of moving images, the photo you receive from this photo booth is in the form of a mini-video that plays forward and backward. If you are a big fan of the Boomerang function on Instagram, we are sure that this option will be a huge hit in your event.

Once the shot is taken, the images will be stitched up by a customised software to create a 3D animated GIF video, and you are also able to see the image from multiple angles as well.
