There are five types of photo booth you can rent in India: an AI photo booth, a selfie booth, a mirror photo booth, a 360 video booth and a classic print or strip booth. If guests should take home a printed photo or a photo strip, rent an AI or print booth; the Pikcha AI photo booth prints both. If the goal is short videos for social media, a 360 booth fits better. Bamigos.com rents the Pikcha AI photo booth for ₹55,000 for a day of up to 10 hours, with unlimited prints and an attendant from our team. Travel outside Delhi NCR is quoted per city.
We make and rent one of these, the AI photo booth, so we have tried to describe the other four fairly: what each one gives your guests, what space it needs and which events it suits. Use this to decide what to ask for before you compare quotes.
The five types at a glance
| Type | What guests get | Space | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| AI photo booth | A real or AI photo in a chosen look, printed on the spot as a 4x6 inch photo or a 2x6 inch strip, plus a digital copy | Small, one cabinet | Weddings, corporate events, brand activations, birthdays |
| Selfie booth | Photos, GIFs or boomerangs on a screen, usually shared digitally | Smallest, a stand or kiosk | Parties and launches where digital sharing is enough |
| Mirror photo booth | Full-length photos taken through a tall touchscreen mirror with animations, often printed | Medium, needs depth for full-body shots | Receptions and galas with a dress code |
| 360 video booth | A short slow-motion video from a camera arm that circles guests on a platform; no print | Largest, platform plus a clear safety circle | Sangeets, after-parties, influencer-heavy launches |
| Print or strip booth | Classic photos or a 2x6 inch strip of poses, printed in seconds | Small to medium | Weddings, college events, any event where a keepsake matters |
AI photo booth
An AI photo booth takes a normal photo and then redraws it in a look the guest chooses on the touchscreen: a royal portrait, a Bollywood film poster, a 1920s gala, a space mission. The guest's face stays recognisable; the clothes, setting and lighting change. The result prints on the spot and also reaches the guest's phone.
The Pikcha AI photo booth has more than 200 looks and can also take classic photos with no AI at all, so one booth covers both. Prints come as a full 4x6 inch photo or a 2x6 inch strip, and the frame, welcome screen and even the looks can carry your brand or wedding monogram.
- Good at: getting every age group to take part, a printed keepsake, branding on the screen and print, queues that move.
- Watch for: the AI needs a few seconds per photo, and WhatsApp delivery needs internet at the venue. Ask how the booth handles a weak signal.
Selfie booth
A selfie booth is usually a tablet or a screen on a stand with a ring light. Guests take photos, GIFs or boomerangs and share them by QR code, email or SMS. Some selfie booths add a small printer; many do not print at all.
- Good at: fitting into tight spaces, quick digital sharing, low set-up effort.
- Watch for: the photo looks like a phone photo, and without prints guests leave with nothing in hand. Ask whether printing is included or extra.

Mirror photo booth
A mirror photo booth, often called a magic mirror, is a tall mirror with a touchscreen and camera behind the glass. Guests see themselves full length, follow on-screen animations, and sometimes sign or draw on their photo before it prints.
- Good at: full-length outfit photos, an elegant look in a reception hall.
- Watch for: it needs more depth in front so the camera can fit people head to toe, and it is heavy to move up stairs. Ask about the frame and how many prints are included.

360 video booth
A 360 booth is a raised round platform with a rotating arm that holds a phone or camera. Guests stand on the platform while the arm circles them, and the booth produces a short slow-motion video with music and effects for social media.
- Good at: dramatic videos, especially of dance moves and outfits, at sangeets and after-parties.
- Watch for: it needs the most floor space, a clear circle around the arm for safety and an operator at all times. Usually there is no print, so guests leave with a video file only. Ask about the platform size and the safety barrier.
We do not rent 360 booths. For the full comparison, read 360 photo booth vs AI photo booth.
Print or strip booth
The classic format: a booth that takes three or four poses and prints them as a strip, or a single photo with a frame. The Korean 4-cut strip has made this style popular again with younger guests.
You do not need a separate booth for strips. The Pikcha AI photo booth prints 2x6 inch strips as well as 4x6 inch photos, with AI looks or as classic photos, so one booth gives you both.
- Good at: a keepsake every guest understands, fast prints, nostalgia.
- Watch for: classic booths with props and a backdrop depend on the operator for energy, and the photos all look alike. Ask how many prints are included and what happens when they run out.
Which photo booth should you rent for your event?
Weddings and receptions
Guests at an Indian wedding range from grandparents to college cousins, and most of them want something to take home. An AI booth or a print booth gives every guest a print; an AI booth adds royal and Bollywood looks that older relatives enjoy as much as the young ones. If the sangeet is the big dance night and the couple want reels, a 360 booth can work for that one function.

Corporate events and award nights
Pick a booth that carries your brand through the screen and the print. An AI photo booth with your logo on the frame, and looks like Awards Night or Red Carpet Premiere, gives each employee a branded keepsake.
Brand activations and exhibitions
The booth has to pull people to the stand and send them away with your brand in their hand. Branded prints do that better than a video file. At Rendezvous 2026 in IIT Delhi, the booth on Ambrane's stall had a queue all four days, and more than 1,000 guests walked away with Ambrane-branded prints.
Birthdays and family parties
Children and grandparents both need to manage it alone, so the simplest journey wins: tap a look, pose, take the print. See our birthday photo booth ideas.
College fests
Students want something they can post. An AI booth with anime, K-pop and film-poster looks and WhatsApp delivery covers both the print and the post.
Questions to ask before you book any type
- Is an operator or attendant included for the whole event?
- Are prints included, and how many? What happens if they run out?
- What exactly goes on the screen and the print frame, and when do I approve the designs?
- How much floor space, power and internet does it need?
- Is travel included for my city, and what are the event hours?
