Keep photos out of sight until you publish on your own switch or schedule, then decide exactly who gets in and which albums they see.
Not every gallery is meant for everyone, and not every gallery is meant to go live the moment the first photo lands. These are the controls that make that true.
The event stays unpublished until you say otherwise, on a switch you flip yourself or a date and time you set in advance.
Choose each album's access when you create it: visible to every guest, kept for you alone, or opened only for a guest who enters the PIN you share.
Ask guests to register or check them against a pre-approved list before they see anything, and turn on approval so photos guests upload wait for your review first.
Privacy here is a setting you choose once per event and per album, not something guests can work around. Here is what changes on each side.
Upload and organise photos while the event stays unpublished. Nothing is visible to a guest yet.
Flip the switch yourself, or set a date and time in advance so the event goes public on schedule without you at a screen.
Mark each album public, private, or secret behind a PIN, and add registration, a pre-approved guest list or an event PIN across the whole gallery.
By link or QR code, once you have published the event or shared the PIN that opens it.
Where registration or a guest list is required, guests sign in or wait to be approved before they see photos.
Once the gallery, or the album, is open to them, a selfie brings up the photos they are in.
