Do guests need an app or account to upload photos?
No. Guests scan your QR code and upload from their phone browser, with no app to install and no signup.
One-time. No account needed to buy — about a minute.
The short answer
No app, no account. A guest points their phone camera at your QR code, taps the link, and the upload page opens in their browser — photos and short videos go straight to your gallery.
How it works
You create the event and get a unique QR code and gallery link. Print the code for tables, the bar, or the entry, or put it on a screen. Guests scan, pick photos, and upload in seconds. Everything lands in the real-time gallery, and the live photo slideshow at the venue updates as it arrives.
The guest page is available in 4 languages (English, Spanish, French, and Russian), so people can use it in the language they read.
Honest limits
Guests still need a working internet connection on their phone; a weak venue signal makes uploads slow. On Free Preview the gallery shows 60 uploads and holds the rest until you buy a pass — guests are never turned away, and the extra photos are saved but blurred. A free gallery locks 7 days after the event, and photos are permanently deleted 365 days after upload, so upgrading before that second clock runs out still recovers everything. Free Preview also includes 5 full-resolution originals, watermarked previews, and no bulk ZIP download.
Which pass fits
Start on Free Preview to see the QR flow with your own guests. If you want every original, bulk ZIP download, AI moderation, and a gallery that stays up for 12, the Event Pass at $39 covers one event and includes one private Live Stream.
