From zero to live gallery in under a minute. Here's exactly what happens from the moment you create an event to the moment you download every photo.
Sign up with your email or Apple/Google account. Give your event a name and date. That's it β your gallery is live in under a minute.
You get a unique link and QR code immediately. No waiting, no approval process.
Print your QR code for venue tables, display it on screen, or send the link via WhatsApp, email, or text. Guests click once and they're in.
You can optionally add a cover photo, event description, and set an end date for uploads.
When the event wraps up, download all photos in a single zip. Full resolution, every shot β from every guest's phone.
Guests can also download the full album themselves at any time.
The experience your guests see is designed to be as simple as possible. Even for the least tech-savvy person at your event.
No app store, no download prompt. The event gallery opens directly in your phone's browser.
Tap the upload button, pick photos from your camera roll, and they appear in the shared gallery instantly.
Scroll through everyone's photos, like your favourites, and download the full album to keep forever.
