Creating Your Foto Master Cloud Account
Your Foto Master Cloud account is the starting point for everything you do with the platform. It takes just a few minutes to set up, and once you are in, you can start creating events, managing your software, and exploring AI features right away.
Step 1: Go to Foto Master Cloud
Open your browser and navigate to cloud.fotomaster.com. This is the central hub where you will manage your entire Foto Master operation.
Step 2: Sign Up
Click the Sign Up button on the login page and provide the following information:
- Email address -- This will be your login and the primary contact for your account
- Password -- Choose a strong password to secure your account
- Company name -- Your business name as it will appear across the platform
- Country/Region -- Used for billing and localization settings
After filling out the form, submit your registration. You may receive a verification email -- follow the link in that email to confirm your account.
Step 3: Choose Your Plan
Once your account is verified, you will be prompted to choose a subscription plan:
- Basic -- $39/month (billed annually) with galleries, AI discounts, and full Cloud features
- Pro -- $79/month (billed annually) with everything in Basic plus custom domains and white-label branding

Tip: If you purchased Foto Master hardware, your first year of cloud service is included. Enter the activation code that came with your hardware during this step to apply your complimentary subscription.
Step 4: Complete Your Company Profile
After selecting your plan, take a moment to fill in your company profile. This information is used across the platform, including in online galleries and guest-facing communications:
- Company logo -- Displayed on galleries and branded materials
- Contact information -- Phone number and support email for your business
- Social media links -- Optional links to your business profiles
- Gallery branding -- Default colors and styling for your online galleries
You can update these settings at any time from the Settings section of the dashboard.
Step 5: Connect Your Software
All Foto Master software products connect to your Cloud account using the same credentials. The steps vary slightly depending on which software you use:
- FMX for Windows or FMX for iPad -- Open FMX and log in with your Cloud email and password. FMX will register the device automatically, and it will appear in the Devices section of your dashboard.
- Selfie Wi-Fi -- Launch the Selfie Wi-Fi app, sign in with your Cloud credentials, and select your event to start syncing.
- AI Hot Folder -- Open AI Hot Folder, sign in with your Cloud credentials, and connect it to the relevant event or output folder.
- Draw Me Bot (DMBot) -- Log in with your Cloud credentials inside the DMBot software.
- Other Foto Master software -- All products follow the same pattern: open the app and log in with your Foto Master Cloud email and password.
Tip: You can link multiple devices and software installations to a single account. Your subscription covers unlimited devices, so you can run as many booths or stations as you need.
