System Requirements

Before you dive in, let's make sure your setup is ready to roll. ALIVE Photobooth currently runs on iOS — with Android and PC support on the way.

Supported Devices

iPad (Recommended for Events)

OS: iOS 14.5 or later
Storage: At least 500MB free space (more is better — photos and videos add up fast)
Camera: Built-in front or rear camera
Network: Wi-Fi connection required for cloud features, AI effects, and sharing

iPhone

ALIVE works on iPhone too, though iPad is recommended for the larger screen — your guests will thank you.

Required Permissions

When you first launch ALIVE, you'll be asked to grant a few permissions. Here's what they do and why we need them:

Permission	Why We Need It
Camera	To capture photos and videos (obviously!)
Microphone	For video recording with the ALIVE Effect
Photo Library	To save captured media to your device
Local Network	To discover and connect to printers on your network

All permissions can be managed later in your iPad's Settings app under ALIVE Photobooth.

Internet Connection

ALIVE needs an active internet connection for:

AI effect processing
Cloud gallery uploads
SMS and email sharing
Account and subscription management
Receiving push notifications

Offline mode is limited. Photo capture and local printing work without internet, but AI effects, sharing, and cloud features require a connection.

What About Android and PC?

We hear you! Android and PC support are coming soon. Stay tuned for updates.

For now, if you need to print from a PC, check out the ALIVE Magic Print app — it connects to your photobooth and handles printing from your Windows computer.
