📸Online photobooth · make a four-shot strip in your browser

What it does

• Four-shot layout — Shoot or upload, three-second countdown, mirrored preview, non-mirrored output
• 4×6 print format — 1200×1800 at 300 DPI JPG, the same format photo printers take
• Three layouts — Full 4×6 / two 2×6 vertical strips (the classic photobooth shape) / a 4×3 horizontal cut
• Runs in your browser, keeps nothing by default — Photos are processed in your browser and are not sent to a server by default, and no sign-up is needed. Only when you press “Save to my photos” is the finished image stored in your account
• PWA — Add it to your home screen; the app shell opens offline

How it works

• No app to install — Just open the URL in a browser. Phone, tablet or computer works the same way, and no account is needed.
• Shoot or upload, either is fine — Take four selfies on the spot, or upload four photos already on your device.
• Choose the layout yourself — Full 4×6, two 2×6 vertical strips (the classic photobooth shape), or a 4×3 horizontal cut.
• Download and print — The file is a 1200×1800, 300 DPI JPG, which a print shop or a home photo printer can both handle.
• Frames are already available — You can apply one of the built-in site frames, or upload your own PNG frame design. Style filters are still in development — no overstating it here.

About the name “Life4Cuts”

“人生四格 / Life4Cuts” is both the name of a Korean photobooth chain and, for many people, a general way of saying “four-shot photo strip”. This tool is our own online four-shot tool. It is not affiliated with that brand and is not an online version of it.

Common questions

• Can I make a photo strip online without installing an app?
  Yes. This tool runs inside the browser, so opening the URL on a phone, tablet or computer is all it takes — no app to install and no account to create. Take four photos or upload four, and they are composed into a four-shot strip sized for 4×6 printing. The photos are processed in your browser from start to finish and are not sent to a server by default; only when you press “Save to my photos” yourself (which needs a joelin.cc sign-in) is the finished image stored in your account.
• How do I make that kind of four-shot photo strip?
  You line four photos up and export them as a printable file. With this tool the steps are: press start → take or upload four photos → choose a layout → download. There are three layouts: the full 4×6, two 2×6 vertical strips (the long shape of a traditional photobooth), and a 4×3 horizontal cut. The downloaded file is a 1200×1800, 300 DPI JPG, so a print shop or your own photo printer can print it.
• Is this the same thing as the “Life4Cuts” brand?
  No. “人生四格 / Life4Cuts” is the name of a Korean photobooth chain, and it has also come to be used generally for “four-shot photo strips”. This tool is our own online four-shot photo tool. It has no relationship with that brand and is not an online version of it. To find that brand’s physical stores, see our brand page and the location listings for each country.
• Can I make my own template or my own frame?
  Two separate things. (1) Layout — how the four shots are arranged and whether they are cut into strips: three are built in, so you just pick one. (2) Frame — the layer with borders, illustrations and text: frames are already available. You can apply one of the built-in site frames, or upload your own PNG frame design (it needs to match the transparent window positions for the layout you picked). Style filters are still in development. On top of that, a frame that appears in the menu of a physical machine has to go through the route that machine’s brand offers, and they set the size and bleed specification. It is not something you finish here and put on a machine.
• Is it free? Are there watermarks or ads?
  It is free, with no watermark and no ads, and no sign-up. The photos are composed inside your own browser and are not sent to a server by default. They are gone when you close the tab, so download before you close it.
