How it differs
Why pick it
- Everything a regular session needs: shoot with a Canon camera or a USB webcam, and produce one to four images per session, each built from up to four shots.
- Layouts and screens in your brand: design your own layouts with a logo and QR code, and swap the buttons, backgrounds and rotating ads.
- Print or QR delivery: most printers with a system driver work, guests can scan for a digital copy, and prints can carry a Live Photo that moves.
- Run every unit remotely: shut down, restart and push updates from the PepeFoto console, and copy an existing unit's settings to a new one.
Compared with
- vsPro
Pro includes everything in Standard and adds the AI layer: 1,000+ AI styles, AI video, AR holographic photos, custom style training, later pick-up by subscription and paid sessions. Standard owners can upgrade to Pro for CNY 3,000.
- vsPhoto wall
Standard can show event photos on a big screen. The photo wall is dedicated multi-screen software that adds media from folders or APIs, routing to several screens, timeline animations and 3D scene walls.
- vsAR Mirror Signature
Both use AR, for different jobs. Standard's Live Photo records a short clip during the shot and plays it when the print is scanned. AR Mirror Signature records the signing as native Canon video and adds an intro, outro, frame and music automatically.
Not for, or watch out
- Events that need AI styles: AI-styled photos, AI video, AR holographic photos, later pick-up and paid sessions are all in Pro.
- Lenticular prints, AI cards, mirror signatures or stickers: each has its own standalone edition, and Standard does not include those workflows.
Where it fits
- Weddings, birthday parties and company galas: photo grids and three-shot strips printed on the spot as keepsakes.
- Brand and product promotions: the logo and slogan go into the layout, and the screens take on the brand's look.
- Busy events: several identical printers share one print setup and take turns printing.
- Vintage newspaper prints: photos set in an A4 newspaper design, with a Live Photo that moves when scanned.
- Venues with no room for a green screen: AI cutout places people in a background you design.
How it runs on site
- Licence and bind
With the licence bought, install the software on the booth PC and bind it to the PepeFoto console.
- Design the look
Copy an official layout and screen scheme, swap in the event's logo, backgrounds and ads, and push it to the unit.
- Connect and test
Connect the camera and printer, shoot and print a test, then scan with a phone to check the photo comes through.
- Guests shoot
Guests pick a session on screen, shoot and confirm, and can add stickers and a signature.
- Print or scan
Photos print on the spot or go to phones by QR code; with Live Photo on, scanning the print plays the clip.
- Wrap up
Check that every upload and print has finished, and back up the event photos separately.
