At 25: “All that remains are photos”

The short answer

my4cut started from the saying “all that remains are photos.” Anyone can download the app and shoot a four-cut strip, and for events we are also building a booth you can set up on site. The goal is that nobody has to worry about price when they want a photo booth.

All that remains are photos

“All that remains are photos.” It’s a phrase I carry every day.

That’s why I built an app anyone can download to capture 4-cut memories.

I wanted an experience that works at home and at events without hassle.

Building the booth too

Beyond the app, we’re building portable booths that can be set up on-site.

Still rough around the edges, but we’re iterating fast and driving costs down.

Fast setup and a simple UI are core goals for every revision.

This is a real on-site print result.

Frames and logos are reflected as-is for higher event satisfaction.

We care about both speed and print quality so guests get great results.

Why lower the cost?

If the cost is too high, people give up before they even try.

So we focus on keeping the price reasonable without sacrificing experience.

The goal is to make memory-making accessible to everyone.

One clear goal

The goal: anyone, anywhere, can use a photo booth without worrying about price.

We’ll keep improving so more people can capture memories easily.

We’ll keep shipping updates that make the experience smoother.

Where has my4cut been used?

The app is free to download on iOS and Android, and it runs on ordinary phones and tablets. Guests take four photos, pick the four they like, and get a framed strip.

So far it has been used at churches, universities, hackathons, pop-up stores, a wedding, Venture Café Tokyo and events in San Francisco. Each place got its own frame, so the strip only existed for that event.

What do you need to run it at an event?

For events, one iPad is enough to start. The steps look like this.

  • Install the app and make an event frame with your name or logo using the custom frame feature.
  • After each shoot a QR code appears. Guests scan it with their phones, so no printer is required.
  • If you want paper strips, connect an AirPrint printer.
  • If you need something to hold the iPad, there is a mini booth. Rental is 50,000 KRW a day plus 5,000 KRW shipping, and the iPad is separate. Details are on the rental page.
