Can I Customize Built-in Templates?

See Duplicating and Editing Built-in Templates for details.

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.
