# Create a Preset

### What is a preset?

Your preset controls how your Virtual Booth looks and behaves during an event.

Every photo your booth captures is created using a **preset** and sent to a connected **gallery**. These two pieces work together, but they serve different roles.

***

#### Presets

Presets control the booth-side experience, including:

* Photo layout and design
* Editing tools available to participants
* Participant data capture (Pro and Select plans only)

***

#### Galleries

[**Galleries**](https://docs.simplebooth.com/gallery-design/) control the online experience after the photo is taken. They manage where photos are saved and how participants view and share them later.

You’ll fully configure galleries in the next step. For now, the important thing to know is that every preset must be paired with a gallery.
