We missed the mall photo booth. So we rebuilt it.
CTRL + Q started as a weekend project to bring the strip-of-four-photos ritual back — minus the coin slot, plus a decade of filters it never had. What stuck was the idea that a booth doesn't need a physical box: it needs a countdown, a mirror, and something silly to wear.
The short version
A booth for browsers
No app to install, no booth to rent — CTRL + Q runs entirely in the tab you already have open.
Filters that move
We got tired of filters that were just a tint. Liquid Glass and Aurora actually shift while you pose.
Yours, not ours
Everything you shoot renders and downloads locally. We don't want your face in our database.
Three things we won't compromise on.
Privacy by default
Your camera feed and photos are processed in your browser. Nothing uploads unless you explicitly choose to share it.
Playful over polished
A crooked sticker and a mistimed countdown are half the charm — we design for delight, not perfection.
Fast on any device
The booth is built to feel instant on a five-year-old phone, not just the newest laptop.
