Hi Tim,
I plan to use this app for an event next week to encourage social media engagement. Is there any way to make the photo shareable on Instagram? When I email the photo to myself the image is too large for instagram and the logo is cut off.

Instagram images need to be 640px by 640px including the logo at the top/bottom?

How do I do this?

Hi there,
To do this, set up the paper size as 6" by 6", at 300 DPI.
That will ensure that your collages are square (with a resolution of 1800px by 1800px).
Unfortunately there's no way to automatically share to the Instagram app (assuming it's also installed on the same device as wifibooth) - I may add this in the future.
There's built-in twitter support for tweeting your photos directly to your event's #hashtag.
There's also built-in Dropbox support for uploading your photos to a shared folder, and email support for sending the link.

You're welcome.
In the event settings screen (it's the first screen you see after selecting which type of camera you have), scroll down until you see the printing section. If printing is not enabled, enable it now. Then, touch the paper size that's currently selected (probably 4x6") and in the popover dialog, hit the + sign to add a new paper size. Enter 6 and 6 in the two fields to create a paper size of 6" by 6". Finally, if you enabled printing just now, turn it back off again.
All set!
