How long do my event photos stay online?

On Free Preview the gallery locks 7 days after the event and photos are permanently deleted 365 days after upload. The Event Pass hosts the gallery for 12.

One-time. No account needed to buy — about a minute.

The short answer

Free Preview runs on two clocks: the gallery locks 7 days after the event, and photos are permanently deleted 365 days after upload. The Event Pass at $39 keeps the gallery up for 12.

How it works

While the event is running, uploads appear in the real-time gallery right away. Afterward the gallery stays open for the hosting window of your pass, and you can download everything as a ZIP with a paid pass. Reminder emails go out before anything expires, so the deletion date is not a surprise.

Because the two free clocks are different, a locked gallery is not a lost gallery. If you upgrade before the deletion date, everything comes back, including the photos past 60 that were saved but blurred.

Honest limits

Free Preview has no bulk ZIP download, previews are watermarked, and only 5 full-resolution originals are included. Legacy purchases keep the storage period printed on their receipt. Paid uploads are unlimited per event, bounded by fair use of 25 GB of media rather than a photo count.

Which pass fits

If you only want to try the QR flow, Free Preview is enough. If people will come back to the gallery months later, or you want the originals on your own drive, the Event Pass gives you 12 of hosting plus the ZIP download.

How to do it

  1. Note your event date — the free gallery lock counts from it.
  2. Note the upload date — the free deletion clock counts from that instead.
  3. Watch for the reminder email before either date.
  4. Buy the Event Pass to extend hosting to 12 and reveal every photo.
  5. Download the full ZIP and keep your own copy.
