Fire up your webcam and capture a classic 4-frame photo strip with a live countdown, B&W or Sepia filters, and a one-click PNG download — entirely in your browser.
Use Cases
How to make a photo strip online
Click "Start camera" and allow browser access — your video preview appears instantly, live and mirrored.
Choose None, B&W, or Sepia for the live preview, and White or Black for the strip border.
Click "Take photo strip." A 3-2-1 countdown fires four times in a row, capturing one frame per countdown.
The four shots are composited into a vertical strip with a date stamp — download it as a PNG or hit Retake to try again.
Frequently Asked Questions
- Are my files uploaded?
- No. Your camera stream, every captured frame, and the final strip are processed entirely in your browser using getUserMedia and canvas. Nothing ever leaves your device.
- Does this tool ever see or store my camera feed on a server?
- No server is involved at any point — there is no upload endpoint, no backend processing, and no server that ever receives your video stream. Everything happens client-side in JavaScript.
- How many photos are in the strip?
- Four. The tool runs the 3-second countdown four times in a row and stacks all four shots vertically into one classic photo-booth strip.
- What filters are available?
- None (original), Black & White, and Sepia. The filter you pick applies live to the preview and is baked into the captured frames.
- Can I choose the strip border color?
- Yes — pick White or Black before you start capturing. The border and the date stamp text color adjust together for readability.
- Does it work on iPhone/Safari?
- Yes. The video preview uses the playsInline attribute so it stays inline instead of forcing fullscreen on iOS Safari.
Photo booth strip specs and what to set before the countdown
A booth strip is a fixed format, not a free-form collage — four shots stacked vertically with a consistent border. Because the countdown runs unattended, everything below has to be chosen before you start rather than fixed afterward.
| Setting | Options here | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Shots per strip | 4, taken automatically in sequence | The classic booth layout; all four fire without you touching anything |
| Countdown | 3 seconds between shots | Enough time to change pose, short enough that the sequence feels like a booth |
| Filter | None, B&W, Sepia | Applied live before capture, so the preview is what you get |
| Border | White or black | White reads as classic mall-booth; black suits high-contrast and B&W strips |
- Filters are applied at capture, so pick one before starting — the strip is composited immediately after the fourth shot.
- Front-facing cameras mirror the preview. Text and logos in frame will read backward on the saved strip.
- Lighting matters more than any filter: face a window and keep the light source in front of you, not behind, or the sensor will expose for the background and silhouette you.
