What is Next To You?

Next To You is an online photo booth for long-distance couples. Two people in different locations can join the same booth, share a countdown, take four photos together and keep the same photo strip.

It runs in the browser, so there is nothing to download. Read how a long-distance photo booth works, or browse the FAQ.

How it works

Five steps to one shared strip

  1. 01

    Open a booth

    Start a private booth on your phone.

  2. 02

    Invite your partner

    Send one link. They join from anywhere.

  3. 03

    Pick your frame

    The host chooses a frame you both see.

  4. 04

    Count down together

    Same 3, 2, 1. Four shots, one pose each.

  5. 05

    Download the same strip

    You both keep the same photo strip.

Inside the booth

One photo booth, two places

This is what you both see: not a video call, a booth built for four photos together.

  • Side by side, live

    Two cameras in one frame, so you see each other as you pose.

  • One countdown for both

    The same 3, 2, 1 on both screens, with a pause between shots to swap poses.

  • A frame you pick together

    The host chooses the frame and your partner sees it change instantly.

The result

The ritual

A tiny ritual, not a video call

Next To You is made for one small moment you share, then keep.

  • One shared countdown

    You both see the same 3, 2, 1, so you smile on the same second.

  • Four shots

    Four photos, one pose each, with ten seconds between to swap.

  • No endless retakes

    No do-overs until it is perfect. The goofy one is usually the keeper.

  • The same strip for both

    You each download the same photo strip, a little proof you were together.
