A QR code for wedding photos, with no app for your guests

Put one QR code for wedding photos on your tables. Guests scan it with their phone camera and upload photos and videos in the browser, with no app and no account. Everything lands in one gallery, which can also play on a screen at the reception. Afterwards you download every original as one ZIP file.

What your guests do

A guest points their phone camera at the code and your event opens in the browser. They can type their name so you know who took what, or skip it. Then they take a photo or pick some from their camera roll, and it uploads.

There's nothing to install, so the guest whose phone is full can join too, and nobody has to create an account.

Photos keep their original quality, and iPhone HEIC files upload as they are.
Videos upload too, unless you turn them off in the event settings.
Guests can pick several photos from their camera roll at once, so the ones from earlier in the day get in as well.
If the signal at the venue drops, uploads wait on the phone and go out when it's back online.

Setting it up before the wedding

Creating an event takes about a minute, and your first one is free. When you sign up, you choose where your account and photos are stored, the United States or the European Union. That choice can't be changed later.

Then open the Signage Kit from the event's admin page. It has 13 sign designs, four of them made for weddings, and each one prints with your event's QR code already on it. Print one copy and scan it with two different phones before you print the rest.

How to make the QR code and the signs

Photos on a big screen at the reception

Open the wall link in a browser on any TV, projector or laptop at the venue. New photos show up seconds after they're taken, in one of eight display modes. The wall can also show the QR code in a corner, so guests who arrive late can join from their seat.

Hold photos for your approval before they reach the wall, or let them through and hide any that shouldn't be there.
A nudity check runs on each guest's phone and warns them before they upload. It's a classifier, so treat it as a first filter and not a guarantee.

Extras couples like

All of these live in the same event, so guests still scan one code.

Disposable camera mode gives each guest a set number of shots, and the photos develop later, for example the morning after.
Photo Hunt is a list of photo challenges with points, for guests who like a game.
Voice messages let guests record a few words for you in the browser. They arrive in the same event as the photos.
A PIN that guests type when they join keeps the event to the people you invited.

How the disposable camera mode works

After the wedding

Every photo and video is in one gallery. From there you download them all at once as a ZIP of the original files, or one at a time.

The Wedding pass is one payment of $49 for the event. It has no photo limit and includes one co-host, and it keeps the photos for 12 months, counted from the wedding date (or from the day you buy the pass, if that's later). You get an email a week before that time runs out, and after it you still have 14 days to download everything.

Private by default

Every photo is end-to-end encrypted on the guest's phone before it uploads. We store the files, but we can't open them. The key that does stays with you, so save the recovery key you're shown when you create the event.

Questions

Do our guests need to download an app?

No. They scan the QR code with the phone camera and everything runs in the browser. They don't need an account either.

Can guests upload photos they took earlier in the day?

Yes. They can pick photos from their camera roll, several at a time. If you only want photos taken during the event, you can turn camera-roll uploads off in the event settings.

Is there a limit on how many photos guests can upload?

The Wedding pass has no photo limit, and you can set a maximum per guest if you want one. The free plan holds 100 photos, enough to try it at a dinner before the wedding.

How long are the photos kept?

With the Wedding pass, 12 months, counted from the wedding date or from the day you buy the pass, whichever is later. You get an email a week before the end and then have 14 more days to download.

Can we keep people who weren't invited out?

Yes. Set a PIN that guests type when they join and print it on the signs, or approve each guest before they get in.

Your first event is free, so you can test the code and the wall on your own phone before the day.
