Guests all afternoon.
Photos from every wave.
This page is for the family whose house is the one everyone comes to, and for the cousin who is tired of being the only one who takes photos. The first day of Hari Raya Aidilfitri belongs to the family, the morning prayers and the seeking of forgiveness from the elders. The weekends that follow belong to the open house: guests arriving in waves from noon until night, the rendang and lontong topped up between them, new baju kurung and baju Melayu in matching colours, green packets for the children, and cousins who see each other once a year and photograph it. Everyone leaves with their own photos and nobody has the whole afternoon. One QR code on the table collects it.
One-time. No account needed to buy — about a minute.
The moments guests actually photograph at Hari Raya open houses
Why Hari Raya open houses work better on Picsui
Written for the person hosting this one, and checked against what the product actually does.
Every wave leaves its photos behind
An open house guest arrives, greets the elders, eats, takes a photo on the sofa in their matching colours and leaves for the next house. A card on the table with the code means they upload before they go, at full resolution, with nothing to install, so the family who hosted sees every group that came through, not just the ones they photographed themselves.
One code per house, or one for the whole family
Families visit four or five houses in a day, and each host may want their own gallery. Create one event per house, or one event for the family with each house as a sub-event, so the day from the grandparents' flat to the youngest uncle's place lands in one gallery with each stop kept apart.
The living room TV plays the afternoon
Most open houses have a television on with nobody watching it. Open the slideshow on it and the morning's family photos are playing when the first guests arrive, then each wave's uploads join the loop for the next wave to find themselves in. A phone remote controls it from the kitchen.
No app. No account. One scan.
Guests point their camera at a QR code and are uploading in seconds. Nobody installs anything, nobody creates a login, and the grandparents can do it as easily as the teenagers.
unlimited photo and video uploads
Every guest can send as much as they like: phone photos, iPhone HEICs, short videos, up to a fair-use bound of 25 GB per event. Originals are kept at full resolution.
Several days, one gallery
Multi-day celebrations get sub-events under one code, so the rehearsal, the ceremony and the brunch stay organised but reachable from a single link.
Live photo wall on any screen
Open the slideshow on a TV, projector or laptop and new uploads appear as they arrive. Grid and collage layouts, transition presets, and a phone remote to control it from across the room.
Private by default, never indexed
The gallery is only reachable by the link or code you share. Guest pages are blocked from search engines and named AI crawlers, and you can close the gallery whenever you choose.
Full-resolution downloads
Download any photo, or the whole event as one archive, at original quality. What guests uploaded is what you keep — no compression, no watermark on paid events.
How it works
Set up in a minute. Collect for the whole event.
Create the event for the open house weekend. If the family visits several houses in a day, add each house as a sub-event, or let each host create their own.
Print the QR code on a card for the dining table and one for the coffee table, and send the link in the family group the night before.
Guests upload as they eat and before they leave for the next house. Put the slideshow on the living room TV and each wave sees the last one.
After the last weekend, download the full archive and send the gallery link to every family that visited, so each has the photos they are in.
Try uploading as a guest.
Scan this with your phone the way a guest at your event would. Choose a sample photo and upload it from your browser, then open the demo gallery to see it land. Photos pass a quick AI check first; videos wait for a person.
- Scan the code with your phone camera — it opens straight in the browser.
- Upload a sample photo. Look for the upload confirmation so you know it reached the host.
Use a sample you are comfortable sharing with Picsui. Please keep personal or sensitive photos out of the demo.

This is the same kind of code your guests scan at your event.
Getting the most from Hari Raya open houses
Put the code on the table with the food, because that is the only place open house guests stay still. Guests arrive in groups, salam the elders, sit for the rendang and ketupat, and move on to the next house, often within the hour. A card propped against the kueh trays and another on the coffee table where the group photos happen will collect far more than a sign at the door, which guests pass while taking off their shoes. Ask one teenager in the family to point it out to each new wave, and the photos come in the same rhythm as the guests, from noon until the last plate is washed.
Decide before the first weekend whether the family shares one event or each house keeps its own. If the grandparents' place is the main open house and the others are smaller visits, one event with each house as a sub-event gives the family a single gallery of the whole Raya, with each stop in its own section. If aunts and uncles host on different weekends and want their own galleries to send to their own guests, let each create an event; the price is per event and the family will still have every photo, just across several links. Either works, but pick one before the cards are printed.
The open house is one of the few gatherings where three or four generations are in one room dressed in the same colour, so make sure that photo gets taken. Ask whoever is on the code to gather everyone on the sofa at the end of each wave, before the guests leave for the next house, and upload it there and then. Put the slideshow on the living room television so the earlier waves are playing when the later ones sit down; guests who see their cousins on the screen scan the code without being asked. Download the originals after the last weekend, since these are the photos that get printed for the elders.
Common questions about Hari Raya open houses
We visit four houses in one day. Do we need four events?
You can do it either way. One event for the family with each house as a sub-event puts the whole day in one gallery, with each stop kept apart, and every relative uses the same code all day. Or each host creates their own event and prints their own code, which suits families where each house has its own guests and wants its own gallery to send around. The price is per event, so a family that shares one event pays once for the whole Raya. Choose before the cards go on the tables.
Guests come in waves all afternoon. How do we get everyone's photos?
The code on the dining table does most of it. Each wave sits down to eat, and that is when they scan, upload the photos they just took on the sofa, and go. There is nothing to install and no account, so an elderly guest manages it with a nudge from a grandchild. Put the slideshow on the living room television and the later waves see the earlier ones, which prompts them to add their own. The link works from home too, for the guests who only remember in the car to the next house.
Is the gallery private? We do not want the house photos public.
The gallery is only reachable by the link or code you share. It is never listed publicly, and guest pages are blocked from search engines and named AI crawlers. Anyone with the link can open it, so send it in the family group rather than posting it anywhere. If you want to approve photos before the wider family sees them, turn on host review and uploads wait in your queue. You can close the gallery to new uploads once the last weekend is over and keep the archive privately after the 365 days of hosting.
Can the family in Malaysia or Indonesia who could not come see the open house?
Yes, two ways. The gallery link shows them the photos as guests upload through the afternoon, with no app and no account. And Live Broadcast is included with the Event Pass: up to 90 minutes with sound on a private link for as many as 100 viewers, which most families use for the salam with the grandparents on the first morning rather than for the open house itself. Send the link in the family group the night before with the time, and the relatives open it in any phone's browser.
What does it cost for an open house with a hundred guests over two weekends?
An Event Pass is $29 one time for the event, with sub-events for as many houses and weekends as the family needs under that one code. It includes unlimited uploads with a 25 GB fair-use bound, the slideshow for the living room television, host review, full-resolution downloads and 365 days of hosting, and Live Broadcast is included for the relatives abroad. There is no subscription and no per-guest fee, which matters when the guest list is whoever turns up.
