Photo booth overlay templates for sharing
A BoothLab share overlay is a 9:16 PNG, 1080 × 1920 pixels, with transparent openings for the photos. It is the version of your print design made for phones, so what guests post matches what they take home.

A print design does not fit a phone
A 4×6 print or a 2×6 strip is the wrong shape for a phone screen or a story. Cropping one leaves the names cut off or the photos tiny. The share overlay is laid out again at 9:16, with the same flowers, lettering and colours placed for that shape.
How it is made from your print
Every extra layout in a pack is a new layout of the original design, not a stretched copy. The share overlay goes through the same steps as a print: its pieces are drawn at their final size and placed for the new shape, and each one stays a separate layer you can move in the Studio.
Loading it in your booth software
Use it wherever your software asks for the overlay on digital copies: the image guests receive by text, email or QR code. The file is a standard PNG, so it loads the same way as any overlay you already use.
