Pictor MCP server enters closed beta — the first photo booth software with an MCP server.
The Pictor MCP server connects your account to Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor or any client that speaks the Model Context Protocol, so you can build events and run Pictor by asking in plain English. Available on all plans at launch. Closed beta from September 30, 2026; details and access at pictor.pro/mcp.
A new way to run Pictor: from the AI assistant you already use. Closed beta, all plans.

Branching workflows, animated templates & speed ramping, a marketplace, asset library, and a rebuilt workflow builder, template editor and dashboard.
v2.0.0 is a ground-up rebuild, not an incremental update. Events can now branch guests down different paths from a survey answer or template choice — even from pre-registration. Templates gain animated elements and speed ramping, a new marketplace lets operators buy and sell presets, templates and prompts, and the workflow builder, template editor, dashboard, pre-registration and printing have all been rebuilt on a cleaner, faster interface. Uploads now pause, resume and recover safely when the network drops. Read the full announcement: Pictor v2: A Complete Rebuild, Now Live.
The biggest release in Pictor’s history: a from-the-ground-up rebuild — new web app, new mobile app, every core system redesigned.
Your event flow can now split based on a guest’s survey answer or template choice, sending them down a different path with a different template or output. You set the branches; guests never see the decision happen. Branching also works from pre-registration, so a guest’s path can be decided before they reach the booth — great for VIP tracks, themed stations, or personalised experiences.
Elements in the template editor can now be animated, giving your outputs more energy and polish without outside design tools.
Video and capture elements inside a template can speed up or slow down at points you set, right on the template itself — a slick effect for boomerangs and video templates.
Buy and sell presets, templates, and custom prompts with other operators. A new way to save setup time or earn from your best designs.
A single home for all your media and templates, reusable across every event, so you’re not re-uploading the same assets over and over.
A step-by-step setup flow, ideal if you’re new to Pictor or training a team member.
One screen with every link and QR code you need for a live event — handy for kiosk mode or handing off to on-site staff.
9 built-in walkthroughs covering the dashboard, events, workflow builder, template editor, prompt builder, and more.
If you run multilingual events, admins can now edit dynamic translations directly in the product — one change updates both web and app.
Prompt building and rendering has been completely rebuilt for more reliable, higher-quality AI outputs.
Build your event stage-by-stage visually with a live preview. Supports per-stage and global styles, booth behaviour rules, auto-skip logic, and reusable stage and workflow templates — much faster to set up and adjust than before.
Rebuilt with clearly labelled stages on the workflow and full branching support.
A new canvas with filters, a filter creator, effects, a green screen picker, video trimmer, fonts, global text, tokens, audio, aspect ratio control, capture settings, burst, and GIF support all in one place.
DSLR support has been reworked for more reliable handling.
Printing logic has been reworked for more reliable handling.
Reliability fixes for the Mobibooth lighting integration (booth frame and backdrop lighting controllers).
Now shows live events, stats, a calendar, recent captures, and top media at a glance.
Sharing station, slideshow, galleries, email templates, analytics (with CSV/ZIP export), clients, projects, partners, users, permissions, billing, whitelabel, and HTML templates have all been redesigned and rebuilt on the new stack, with UI/UX improvements throughout.
Uploads can now be paused, resumed, and safely discarded. Fixes the v1 issue where losing connectivity (e.g. airplane mode) mid-event could cause lost sessions — your captures are now much safer if the network drops.
Improved crash reporting on web and app, plus product analytics and session replay on web, so issues get caught and fixed faster.

Custom folder & template display, template display names, smarter default sharing, and finer brand controls.
v1.3.14 gives operators finer control over the guest experience without adding complexity. Choose how folders and templates display and give templates custom display names, set a default sharing method when both email and SMS are enabled, tailor email domain suggestions and phone country codes to your guest base, and fine-tune logo spacing in global styles.
More control, less friction — finer control over library organisation, guest sharing, and branding.
Choose how your folders and templates display in your event library, so it looks and feels the way you want it to. Pick the layout that matches your workflow and find the right template faster mid-event.
Give your templates friendlier, more recognisable names for your team — no more guessing which template is which from a generic file name. Label them the way that makes sense for your workflow.
When both email and SMS delivery are enabled for an event, you can now set which one is the default. Speeds up guest checkout and reduces mis-taps at busy events.
Tailor the autocomplete suggestions guests see when typing their email, making entry faster and more accurate for your specific audience.

Printer settings presets per aspect ratio — every print job automatically uses the right settings for its format.
v1.0.4 introduces printer presets by aspect ratio. Save separate printer settings for each print size you run — 4x6, 6x8, square — and every incoming print job automatically applies the matching preset, falling back to your default when no match exists. A meaningful quality-of-life upgrade for operators running multi-format print setups. Download the latest version for Mac or Windows, or see the printing setup guide.
Pictor Print Partner is the desktop companion app that drives on-site printing for Pictor Pro booths.
Save separate printer settings for each aspect ratio you use — 4x6, 6x8, square, and more. When a print job comes in, the app automatically selects the matching preset for that format: no more digging into printer settings to switch between layouts mid-event, and no more reprints because the settings were wrong. If no matching preset exists, it falls back to your default, so you’re always covered. Set it once and run multiple print sizes all night.

New DSLR camera controls — set preview rotation and a location hint right in your settings.
v1.3.13 brings DSLR camera configuration directly into your settings. Set the preview rotation so your live view displays correctly no matter how the camera is mounted, and add a location hint so the app finds your DSLR faster and connects more reliably on-site.
A focused update for physical booth operators running DSLR cameras.
Set the preview orientation for your DSLR camera directly in settings — no more repositioning the camera to get the image right-side up. If your camera is mounted at an angle or upside down, just dial it in from the app. Saves setup time and reduces on-site headaches.
A new location hint setting tells the app exactly where to look for your DSLR camera module, making detection faster and connections more reliable — especially on devices that don’t auto-connect on the first try. Both settings live in the camera section of your workflow configuration: set once, forget about it.

A focused reliability fix so your event always saves after exiting test mode.
v1.3.12 is a focused quality release with no new features — just making sure everything works when it matters most: at setup time, before your event goes live. Events now save correctly every time after you toggle in and out of test mode.
A focused quality release — no new features, just a more reliable setup experience.

On-screen photo delivery, richer prompt survey question types, and virtual booth fixes.

Global variables, live template overlays on virtual booths, and one-click prompt duplication.
v1.3.10 makes multi-event setup dramatically faster: define your client name, event title, or tagline once with Global Text Variables and reuse them everywhere. Virtual booth guests now see your real template overlay live, and the SMS country default extends to the sharing station.
Define reusable text tokens — client name, event title, tagline — once and insert them into any text field across your entire workflow using {{Label}}. Update in one place, change everywhere instantly.

Bring your own Twilio for SMS, default SMS country per workflow, and a major backend performance boost.
