Free event photo sharing with a QR code

AllSnaps offers free event photo sharing with a QR code. You get one event with up to 100 photos, kept for 7 days, then 14 days to download everything as a ZIP before the photos are deleted. Guests need no app or account, and you need no credit card. Below is what's included, what isn't, and when a pass is worth paying for.

What the free plan includes

The free event runs on the same product as the paid passes.

  • One QR code that guests scan to take or upload photos in the browser.
  • Up to 100 photos, kept for 7 days from the day you create the event.
  • The live wall in all eight display modes.
  • Disposable camera mode, the audio guestbook, and live polls, trivia and Q&A.
  • Printable signs and table tents with your event's code.
  • End-to-end encryption, with US or EU storage chosen at sign-up.

The limits

Free has limits, and it's better to know them before the day than to find them during it.

  • One free event at a time. To create another, upgrade the first one or delete it.
  • When the event reaches 100 photos, guests can't upload more until you upgrade it.
  • The gallery and the live wall show an AllSnaps watermark.
  • The 7 days count from the day you create the event, not from the day of the party, so create it close to the date.
  • No co-hosts and no custom colors.

Compare free and paid

What happens when the time is up

The event locks. Guests can no longer upload, and you have 14 more days to download every photo as one ZIP. The ZIP holds the originals without the watermark, decrypted in your browser. After those 14 days the photos are deleted.

If you'd rather keep the event, buy a pass for it before then. The event opens again with the pass's photo limit and hosting time, and nothing already uploaded is lost.

When a pass is worth it

The free plan covers a dinner, a small birthday or a test run before the real event. Every pass is one payment for one event, with no subscription. A pass makes sense when:

  • You expect more than 100 photos. The Party pass ($19) holds up to 1,000, and the Wedding pass ($49) has no photo cap.
  • You want the photos kept longer: 3 months with Party, 12 months with Wedding.
  • The wall will be on a big screen in front of your guests and you don't want a watermark on it.
  • You want a co-host to help with moderation. The Wedding pass includes one.

Use it as a rehearsal

We'd use the free event for a trial run. Create it, print a sign, and have a few friends scan it over dinner. Put the wall on your TV and see how it looks.

If you're happy with it, upgrade that same event to a pass from its admin page. Your photos and settings stay as they are. If AllSnaps then doesn't work for your event, email us within 14 days of buying and we'll refund you.

Questions

Is it really free?

Yes. Your first event costs nothing and needs no credit card. You only pay if you upgrade an event to a pass.

Is the free plan unlimited?

No. It's one event at a time, up to 100 photos, kept for 7 days. A pass lifts those limits for the event you buy it for.

Can I download the photos on the free plan?

Yes. As the host, you can download every original as a ZIP, and after the 7 days are up you still have 14 days to do it.

Do free photos have a watermark?

On the gallery and the live wall, yes. The ZIP you download holds the originals without it.

Do guests pay anything?

No. Guests never pay, and they never need an account or an app.

Can I use the free plan for a wedding?

For a very small one, yes. A wedding with a full guest list will likely pass 100 photos during the reception, and the Wedding pass has no photo cap.

It takes about a minute, and you don't need a credit card.
