PRPL Labs is pumped to be kicking Gifn up another notch, having started as a quick birthday party hack and growing it into full-fledged profitable producthood. On top of this sweet new site we just launched, there's a ton of exciting adventures ahead! So, if you don’t know what Gifn is, it’s time you do.

Tell me, what is it?

Gifn is the smile-powered social photobooth app that takes three photos and stitches them together into a sharable GIF. Created by PRPL Labs last December, it’s since evolved into a gotta-have party machine. Play the video above for more deets.

Oh yeah? Who’s “gotta have” it?

Over the past 10 months, some big names have enjoyed the company of a Gifn (or sometimes a dozen) at their events. From industry conferences to sporting events and even traveling tour buses, we’ve made our way across the country and back.Some recent fun:

What's next?

After recently foraying into the wedding entertainment market and setting up at the Perfect Wedding Guide expo, brides-to-be are champing at the bit to reserve an interactive GIF photobooth of their own to make their big days unforgettable. In fact, our own teammate, Adam DePasqua, was the first to give it a whirl at his wedding, and it was practically the most popular guest there!So check out the poppin' new Gifn site and maybe even book us for your next event. It’s an exciting time for PRPL Labs, and we're loving every second of sharing Gifn with the world, one regrettable derp face pose at a time.
