A wedding photo app your guests don't have to install

At midnight the aunt who never dances finally hits the dance floor, and only the guests get a photo of it, because the photographer is already headed home. The easiest way to collect their photos is a QR code on the tables: guests scan it and upload photos in their browser straight to your gallery.

In short

• Put the QR code on the tables. Guests scan it with their phone and upload photos in the browser, so there's nothing to install.
• Mention the code once, out loud, during the welcome, because guests who scan it early keep uploading all evening.
• For a wedding, go with Premium, because the 50 photos on the free plan won't be enough. Then download the originals as one ZIP within 90 days.

What do guests have to do?

Almost nothing. They scan the QR code with their phone's camera, type a name and pick their photos. They're done before the soup comes out, and they don't have to install anything or sign up. And if there's no signal in the barn, they upload later, say at breakfast the next morning.

Put the code on the tables and mention it out loud

The cards with the code belong on the tables. At the entrance guests walk right past them with a gift in their hands, but at the table the card is in front of them all evening. For other good spots, see the QR code placement guide.

A card alone isn't enough, though. During the welcome, once everyone is seated, have the best man say it once, out loud: "Upload today's photos with the QR code on your table." The card is right in front of them, so they can try it on the spot.

Grandma has never scanned a QR code? Ask someone at her table to show her. It's easy, and after one try she'll do it on her own.

Tip: The next morning, send the upload link to the wedding group chat too. Lots of guests only go through their photos over breakfast, and they can upload all through the day after the wedding, even on the free plan.

Is the free plan enough for a wedding?

Not for a wedding with a hundred guests. On the free plan all your guests together can upload 50 photos, and a wedding produces that many during the bouquet toss alone.

You pay for Premium once per wedding, and you get:

• Unlimited photos with no watermark.
• Videos, like the first dance.
• 7 days to upload, so the stragglers make it too.
• A PIN, so only the people you give it to can open the gallery. Write it on the card next to the QR code, because the code doesn't include it.

You can start for free and switch the same event to Premium once you know your guest count. The price is on the pricing page.

Download your photos within 90 days

On Premium the gallery locks after 90 days, and then not even you can download anything from it. So download the originals and videos as one ZIP right after the honeymoon, and send them to your parents too. They'll ask for them before you've had a chance to look through them yourself.

If you miss the deadline, you can buy another 30 days and the locked gallery opens again.
