When Foto Master is still the right choice

Frequently asked questions
Do I need a cloud subscription on top of the license?
No. The Froozbooth license includes sharing, the gallery and sync. Cloud+, at €29 a year, stays optional.
Does Froozbooth run on a Foto Master booth?
If the booth has a Windows 10 or 11 PC inside, yes: Froozbooth installs on it alongside the camera and printer. Check your hardware during the trial.
Does Froozbooth control a Nikon DSLR?
Yes. Nikon DSLRs and Nikon Z mirrorless cameras are controlled natively, like Canons, with no software to install.
Can I try before I buy?
Yes, 15 days with no credit card, on two machines. A watermark marks the photos during the trial.
