## Can I Customize Built-in Templates?

## Tips for Choosing

* **Match the paper** — Make sure the template size matches your printer's paper size
* **Consider photo count** — More slots means more photos per session, which takes more time
* **Think about your audience** — Strips are nostalgic and fun. Cards feel more premium. Single photos are clean and modern.

| If you're just starting out, pick a classic 2x6 strip template. It's the most recognized photo booth format and guests love taking them home.
