FMShare for iPad: Overview

Updated Last week · 2 min readBeginner
FMShare turns an iPad into a live sharing station for your event. It shows a continuously updating gallery of the event's photos, videos, and GIFs, and lets guests send items to themselves by Email, SMS, QR code, or AirDrop. You can also print photos with FMPrint or AirPrint.

FMShare is designed for events where guests should be able to browse recent media quickly, choose a favorite, and share it in just a few taps.

How FMShare Works

  1. Sign in with your Foto Master Cloud account.
  2. Select the event you want to run on this iPad.
  3. Sync the event's settings from the cloud.
  4. Open the gallery and hand the iPad to guests.
  5. New photos, videos, and GIFs appear automatically as they become available.
FMShare keeps the experience focused on the event itself, so guests can start sharing right away without extra setup on the iPad.

Key Features

Live Event Gallery

FMShare shows a gallery of the current event's media in a polished, full-screen
view. You can choose between different layouts and visual styles for the event,
so the gallery matches the look and feel you want.

Guest Sharing Options

Guests can share media using the methods you enable for the event:
  • Email - send the selected item to an email address.
  • SMS - text the selected item to a phone number.
  • QR code - let guests scan a code to open the item on their phone.
  • AirDrop - share quickly to nearby Apple devices.

Photo Printing

FMShare supports photo printing for events that use print workflows.
  • FMPrint - send photos to your FMPrint station.
  • AirPrint - use a nearby AirPrint-compatible printer.


Event-Based Customization

Each event can have its own gallery look, branding, and sharing options. That means you can use different styles for different events without changing the iPad setup every time.

Easy Event Switching

If you run multiple events, you can switch between them from the dashboard. Once an event is selected, FMShare uses that event's saved settings.

Offline-Friendly Experience

If the network is temporarily unavailable, FMShare keeps the app usable so the event can continue running. Any new activity resumes once the connection is restored.

Getting Started

  1. Install FMShare on an iPad.
  2. Sign in with your Foto Master Cloud account.
  3. Select the event you want to use.
  4. Tap Sync Event to bring in the latest settings.
  5. Open the gallery and start sharing.
