1. Client-Side Architecture & Data Hosting

PhotoBooth is built with a zero-upload, client-side privacy architecture. Camera frames, multi-pose photos, frame colors, and vintage filters are rendered directly on your local device GPU via HTML5 Canvas.

Important Note: We do NOT host or store private webcam photo strips on our servers. Private captures exist only in the user's browser session. The only public content hosted by PhotoBooth consists of photos voluntarily submitted by users to our public Weekly Spotlight Gallery or editorial assets published in our blog.
