Collect photos
from your guests, or any group.
Everyone at your event is holding a camera. Let guests add their own photos to a shared album, so the day isn't told from one photographer's angle alone.
What it does for you
Guest photo uploads let everyone at an event add their own photos to one shared Guest Photos album, from a link or QR code, with no app to install. It suits weddings, parties, school events and any group where many people take photos and you want them in one place. A guest opens the event page in their phone browser and adds photos in a few taps, and you can review each one first. You can try guest uploads on the free plan, which covers 300 photos a month with no card. For your events, guest uploads come with our higher plans; talk to us.
A fuller picture of the day
Guest phones catch moments a single photographer never will. Gather those photos on the same event page.
You choose what's shown
Turn on approval and every guest photo waits for your review before it appears anywhere on the event page.
No separate app or link to manage
Guests add photos from the same event page they already use to find their own, by phone or computer.
Everything in one place
Guest photos gather in a Guest Photos album on the same event page, next to your own albums, not scattered across group chats and shared folders.
You decide the rules once. Guests just add their photos from a page they're already on.
You
Turn on guest uploads
Switch it on for your event, and choose whether uploaded photos need your approval before they appear.
Your guest
Opens the event page
From the same link or QR code they use to find their own photos, no separate destination needed.
Your guest
Adds their photos
A guest picks photos from their phone or computer and submits them in a few taps.
You
Review, if you choose to
With approval turned on, you decide which guest photos join the event gallery before anyone else sees them.
Where it fits
Anywhere the professional photographer can't be everywhere at once, which is every event.
How to collect photos from a group
You
Create the event and switch on guest uploads
Make a free event, then turn guest uploads on. Choose whether each photo needs your approval first.
You
Share one link or QR code
Send the link in the group chat, or print the QR code on a card, a sign or an invitation once the event is published.
Your guest
Opens it and adds photos
Each guest opens the event page in their phone browser and picks photos from their phone or computer. No app, no account. Some events ask for an email code first.
You
See everything in one place
Approved photos appear in a Guest Photos album on the event page, next to any albums you upload yourself.
When a shared album is enough, and when it is not
A shared album in your phone's own photos app is a fair answer for a small group. It stops working when the group is mixed or the event has a photographer.
When a shared album is enough
A small group, all on the same kind of phone, where one person will invite everyone and tidy the album afterwards. Everyone adds photos, everyone sees everything, and there is nothing to set up.
When you need one link that works for everyone
A mixed group of iPhone and Android guests, people who do not know each other, or an event with a photographer. One link or QR code opens the same page in any phone browser, with no account to create. You can review photos before they appear, and guests can find the photos you upload of them with one selfie, so nobody scrolls through every picture. See face recognition photo sharing and QR code photo sharing. For the wider choice, read free event photo sharing apps compared.
Guest photo uploads for weddings, parties and school events
The steps are the same for every group. What changes is how you share the link. The free plan covers 300 photos a month with no card; see pricing for the paid plans.
Weddings
Guests add table-side candids and getting-ready shots to the same event page as the photographer's gallery. Put the QR code on the table cards. See wedding photo sharing.
Parties
For a birthday or a get-together, send the link in the group chat and let everyone add what they took. See party photo sharing.
Schools and graduations
Parents and students add photos from a school day or a graduation, and you approve them first if you want. See school and graduation photo sharing.
