Draw Me Bot V4 is Here
Since V3 launched, we have been listening, building, and refining.
Today, we are introducing Draw Me Bot V4, our biggest release yet.
This release brings new guest experiences, larger drawing formats, smarter AI, improved event workflows, and dozens of refinements throughout the software.
Every update has one goal: helping you create experiences that stand out, run more smoothly, and give you more ways to generate revenue.
Let's explore what's new.
✍️ Turn Every Drawing Into a Live Performance
One guest gets a drawing. Everyone else gets a show.
Live Drawing Strokes mirrors every pen movement on an external display in real time, so guests can follow the drawing as it comes to life. Instead of only the person standing in front of the robot seeing the process, the entire crowd can enjoy it.
For busy events, this changes the dynamic completely. The drawing becomes part of the entertainment, attracting attention, encouraging people to stop, and building curiosity around the experience.
V4 also introduces Next Show Up, allowing guests to see whose drawing is coming next, along with a faster real-time progress bar.
Whether you’re running a trade show, shopping mall, or corporate activation, the drawing itself becomes part of the entertainment.
The result: a bigger crowd. More attention. More guests joining the line.
🤖 Smarter Event Operation
Draw Me Bot V4 includes a collection of workflow improvements that help operators spend less time managing equipment and more time interacting with guests.
New additions include:
👋🏻 Wave robot identification
Managing multiple robots? Click the new Wave icon and the selected robot will perform a small gesture, making it easy to identify on a busy event floor.
🖱️ Drag-and-drop bot ordering
Re-order robots’ index directly from the software.
💃 Dance in Sync speed control
Already using Dance in Sync? You can now choose between Slow, Medium, and Fast to match the energy of your event.
🖥️ More control over external displays
Additional display settings give you greater flexibility when configuring your setup.
Together with improved bot connectivity, a redesigned calibration screen, and a cleaner interface, these updates make Draw Me Bot easier to operate throughout the day.
🎨 Better Portrait Quality Across All Models
V4 includes a quality bump for portrait detail across the board, with sharper facial details, cleaner line work, and stronger resemblance.
Existing prompts and presets continue to work, you'll just see sharper output.
🖼️ A Bigger Canvas for Bigger Experiences
V4 introduces support for A4 Vertical drawings, opening the door to larger, premium artwork.
With nearly three times the drawing area of a standard 4×6 sheet, drawings feel more impressive and provide more space for detail, branding, and creative compositions.
Guests immediately notice the difference when they receive a full-page drawing instead of a traditional size.
📑 4 New Adjustable Paper Platforms
To support these new formats, we’ve completely redesigned the Draw Me Bot paper platform system.
The new adjustable paper holders let you fine-tune the fit for every sheet, helping keep paper perfectly aligned throughout the drawing process.
✔ Better paper stability
✔ Easier setup
✔ More reliable positioning
✔ One base fits all four sizes
✔ Less trial and error before events
Because every platform uses the same mounting system, switching between formats takes just a few minutes.
The new platform lineup includes:
| Paper Size | Best For | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| 4×6 Adjustable | High-volume events, fast throughput | The classic. Keeps the line moving. |
| 6×8 Adjustable | Premium portraits | The natural upsell - bigger output, higher perceived value. |
| A4 Vertical | Large detailed portraits, fine art moments | New flagship for premium events. |
| A4 Horizontal | AI Comics | Multi-panel storytelling. Exclusive to Draw Me Bot. |
💰 Accept Payments through Shopify & Stripe
FMX now supports both Stripe and Shopify payments.
Guests simply scan a QR code → complete payment on their phone → and the workflow continues automatically.
That means you can now charge directly through the iPad for the experience, or premium outputs.
Whether you’re running a shopping mall activation, museum installation, or public event, guests can pay directly from their phone and continue the experience without staff intervention.
The Shopify Store & Stripe integrations are available today for Foto Master Cloud Pro Plan users.
*As we transition to our new Cloud plans, the Shopify Store integration will be included in the Scale plan.
🎵 New AI Image-to-Video Models
We've added three new AI video models: Seedance 2, Seedance 1.5, and Grok.
These models generate animated clips with sound, transforming each sketch into a fun, short video.
For high-end activations, branded experiences, and weddings, this is the upgrade that turns the animation into the takeaway.

Select a preset, sync your iPad, and you are ready. Prompts, layouts, and AI styles are all themed and configured — no building from scratch.
More presets are coming throughout the year.
🛠️ Even More Improvements
V4 also includes dozens of quality-of-life improvements throughout the software, including:
✔ Faster, real-time drawing progress bar
✔ Fixed portrait centering issue
✔ Redesigned calibration setup screen
