Big country, scattered family.
One gallery for all of it.
For couples marrying on the coast, the mum running a 21st in a backyard marquee, and whoever owns the barbecue on grand final weekend. Australian celebrations have a particular shape: half the guests flew in from interstate, the grandparents are in Leeds or Auckland or Chennai, and the day runs long in hard light. The photos are taken on everyone's phone and leave with them. One QR code on the welcome sign or the esky keeps them in a single private gallery, nobody installs anything, and the family overseas watch the vows or the speeches live, then catch the replay when they wake up.
One-time. No account needed to buy — about a minute.
$29 once, about $44 in AUD. Checkout shows the exact total in your currency where Stripe offers it.

Something else? Every occasion Picsui is written for
Scan the code, upload, done.
A guest points a phone camera at the code and the upload page opens in the browser. Nothing to install, no account, and the guest pages are in English, Español, Français for the relatives who read one better than another. Photos and short videos land in the same private gallery at full resolution, HEICs from iPhones included, in the order they happened.
The broadcast for the family who could not fly
The private live broadcast included with the Event Pass sends the ceremony or the speeches to the UK, New Zealand, India, the Philippines, Lebanon and wherever else the family is, on one private link with sound. Time zones are unkind, so the replay is available afterwards as the Broadcast Recording add-on for the relatives who could not be awake at five.
Private, reviewed if you want, yours to delete
The gallery is reachable only by the link or code you share, and guest pages are blocked from search engines and named AI crawlers. Turn on host review and nothing appears until you approve it, which matters for a work Cup Day lunch or a 21st that ran late. Remove any photo, close uploads, or delete the event, and download every original in one ZIP first.
The year in Australia
- Late January
Australia Day long weekend
Beach, barbecue and a house full of people from noon; one code on the fridge collects the whole long weekend.
- March or April
Easter long weekend
Four days away with the extended family; add each day as a sub-event so the camping photos stay in order.
- Late September and early October
AFL and NRL grand finals
Two Saturdays, two barbecues, and the photos of the half-time kick that usually leave with whoever took them.
- First Tuesday of November
Melbourne Cup
The office sweep and the long lunch; host review keeps the gallery fit for the whole company on Wednesday.
- November
School formals
Pre-formal photos in a parent's garden and the arrivals; one code so the parents get the photos the kids took.
- December
Christmas in summer
Prawns, cricket in the yard and the relatives from overseas; the family in the UK watches lunch live at two in the morning.
For the grandparents in Leeds and the cousins in Auckland
Australian families are scattered by design: the parents in the UK or New Zealand, the aunties in Manila, Chennai, Beirut or Ho Chi Minh City, the cousins in Milan and Athens, and the brother who moved to Perth, a five-hour flight from Sydney. Every Event Pass includes a private live broadcast, up to 90 minutes for 100 viewers on one link, with no account needed on their side. A four o'clock ceremony in Sydney is around six in the morning in London, so the replay matters as much as the stream; it is available afterwards as the Broadcast Recording add-on, and everyone sees the same gallery from the same link.
How the broadcast worksWhat it costs in Australia
One-time Event Pass, $29, about $44. No subscription, no per-guest fee. Prices are in USD; where Stripe offers it, checkout lets you pay in AUD and shows the exact total, including its conversion fee, before you confirm.
Your guests' data and the Australian Privacy Principles
Picsui is operated from the United States, and your guests' photos and details are stored there, so their personal information leaves Australia. The Australian Privacy Principles under the Privacy Act 1988 expect you to know that before you collect it, so here it is plainly. Galleries are private by default, guests upload without creating an account, the host can delete any photo or the whole event, and our Data Processing Agreement sets out the safeguards for the overseas storage. If your workplace or venue needs the DPA signed, ask.
Questions hosts in Australia ask
Does anyone need an app, and does it work for the grandparents?
No app and no account. A guest points the phone camera at the QR code on the table or the esky and the upload page opens in the browser, in English, Español, Français according to the phone's settings. Grandparents manage it because there is nothing to install and nothing to remember. The code keeps working after the event for anyone who forgot on the day, and interstate guests use the same link from home once they have flown back.
What does it cost in Australian dollars?
The Event Pass is $29, paid once per event, with no subscription and nothing charged per guest, per table or per day of a wedding weekend. Prices are set in US dollars. Where Stripe offers it, checkout can present the total in Australian dollars, including any conversion fee, before you confirm, so the figure you see is the figure charged. The estimate on this page is a guide only, and Free Preview lets you try everything before paying.
The wedding is at four in Sydney. Can family in the UK and New Zealand watch?
Yes. A private live broadcast is included with every Event Pass: up to 90 minutes and 100 viewers on one link, with sound, watched from a phone or TV browser with no account. Four o'clock in Sydney is early evening in Auckland, which is easy, and around six in the morning in London, which is not. Send each family the link with their local time. Whoever sleeps through it can watch the replay, available afterwards as the Broadcast Recording add-on, and the finished gallery sits on the same link.
Half the guests are flying in from Perth. How do they get the code?
Send it before they fly. The QR code and the link are the same thing, so put the link in the message with the RSVP and the accommodation details and Perth guests are set up before the five-hour flight. If you use the guest list, each guest gets a personal invite link that opens the same upload page, and you can see who has replied and check people in at the welcome drinks from your phone. Interstate guests keep uploading from home afterwards.
The reception is on a property with bad mobile signal. Do uploads fail?
They wait. An upload queues on the guest's phone and completes when the phone next finds signal or Wi-Fi, so a photo taken in the paddock arrives once the guest is back near the house, a little late rather than lost. If the venue has Wi-Fi, print the network name and password on the same sign as the QR code. Because uploads go straight to storage, a whole marquee sending photos at once when the signal returns does not slow anyone down.
Is the gallery private, and who is responsible for the photos?
The gallery is private by default: reachable only by the link or code you share, never listed publicly, and blocked from search engines and named AI crawlers. The host is in charge of it. Turn on host review to approve photos before anyone sees them, remove any photo a guest asks to have taken down, close uploads when the weekend is over, and delete the event entirely if you choose. Download every original in one ZIP before the 365-day hosting ends.
