Can I run my wedding on the free plan and pay only if I like the photos?

Yes. Free Preview shows the first 60 uploads and saves everything past that in a locked, blurred state, so you can run the whole event and upgrade afterward to reveal it all.

Buy Event Pass — $29

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

Short answer

Yes. You can create the event, print the QR code, and let guests upload all night on Free Preview at no cost, then decide afterward whether to buy a pass. Guests are never turned away: every photo is captured, and the ones past the first 60 are saved but shown blurred until you upgrade.

How it works

You create the event and get a QR code and gallery link. Guests scan with their phone browser — no app, no account — and upload photos and short videos. The first 60 appear in the real-time gallery and the venue slideshow; later uploads are stored and locked. When you buy Event Pass at $29, every original is unlocked and the gallery moves to a 12-month hosting window with bulk ZIP download.

The honest limits

Free Preview gives watermarked previews, 60 uploads shown, 5 full-resolution originals, no bulk ZIP download, and a 5-minute live test for 2 viewers. Two clocks run: the gallery locks 7 days after the event, and photos are permanently deleted 30 days after upload. Upgrading before day 30 recovers everything; after that, they are gone. Reminder emails are sent before anything expires.

Which pass fits

Start on Free Preview if you want to see real uploads before paying. Buy Event Pass at $29 once you want the originals, the ZIP, AI moderation, and 12 months of hosting. If you also want a private live video broadcast of the ceremony, Picsui Complete at $49 bundles both.

How to do it

  1. Create the event and get your QR code and gallery link.
  2. Display the QR code at the venue and let guests upload from their phones.
  3. Watch the first 60 appear live; the rest are saved and locked.
  4. Upgrade to Event Pass within 30 days of upload to unlock every original.
  5. Download everything as a ZIP during your 12-month window.

Does the free plan include ZIP download?
