# Custom Props

Add fully custom props to use instead of, or alongside, pre-made prop packs. This allows you to bring branded elements, event-specific themes, or unique accessories to the experience.

### How to Create Custom Props

{% stepper %}
{% step %}

#### Design Your Props

Import your files after they’re already designed. Custom props are not created or edited within Simple Booth.

* **Format:** PNG with transparency (required).
* **Suggested size:** \~800 × 800 px.
* **Max file size:** 1 MB.
  {% endstep %}

{% step %}

#### Create a Prop Pack

Keep custom props organized by grouping them into prop packs.

1. Open the [**Prop Manager**](https://www.simplebooth.com/manage-content/packs).
2. Tap the blue **+ icon** to create a new pack.
3. **Name your pack** to begin the uploading process.
   {% endstep %}

{% step %}

#### Upload Props

Add graphics to your custom prop pack.

1. Open the specific prop pack you want to add to.
2. Click **Choose files** to upload your graphics.
3. Uploaded files appear under **Pending** until they’re sized and placed.

{% hint style="warning" %}
Pending props are not saved until they are fully configured in the next step.
{% endhint %}
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

#### Configure Props

Size and position each prop before saving it so the face detection knows where to place it.

1. Select a pending prop and click **Next**.
2. **Name the prop** and **choose a type** (e.g., eyes, head, or mouth). The type determines where the prop is anchored (Glasses → eyes, Beard → mouth).
3. **Adjust the scale** to ensure a proper fit on the face.
4. **Set the layer order** to determine if the item sits in front of or behind other props.
5. Click **Save**. You can click the **X** next to any prop to remove it from the pack.
   {% endstep %}

{% step %}

#### Test

To ensure you are happy with the sizing and placement of your custom props, be sure to test them and adjust as needed before your event. 
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}

### Using Custom Props

Once your custom pack is created and configured, you can use it just like any built-in [prop pack](/copy-of-halo-app/experience-designer/post-capture/edit-tools/digital-props.md):

1. **Toggle Enable:** Use the switch in the **Props** edit tool settings to turn the tool on for your guests.
2. In the props editor, your custom packs will appear alongside Simple Booth’s pre-made options.
3. Select your custom pack (or specific items within it) to make them available for your event.

{% hint style="info" %}
**Management Tip** 

You can manage your packs from the [Prop Manager](https://www.simplebooth.com/manage-content/packs) at any time to rename packs, set a default icon, copy, archive, or delete them.
