How guest upload works for engagements
Snapr makes guest upload for your engagement simple and effortless. Create an event in seconds, get a unique QR code, and share it with your guests. They scan the code and upload photos directly — no app download needed.
Guest upload is the core of Snapr: a guest points their phone camera at your QR code, the upload page opens in the browser, and they pick photos from the camera roll or shoot a new one. No app, no account, no password — the link itself is the access.
Everything is included in the free tier: up to 200 photos, live slideshow, QR code, and 14-day storage. Need more? Premium keeps the photos a full year, with original-quality downloads and unlimited uploads, for a one-time payment.
Setting up Guest Upload
- 1Create the event and open the guest link — it carries a guest key, so print or display the whole QR code, not a shortened address you typed from memory.
- 2Put the QR code where people already look: table cards, the bar, the back of the menu, and as an overlay on the big screen.
- 3A guest scans and gets two buttons — Camera opens the phone camera for a new photo, Choose from gallery opens the camera roll (and is the only way in for video).
- 4They select up to 20 files at a time and press upload; each file shows its own progress bar, and successful ones appear in the live slideshow within seconds.
Guest Upload — the specifics
- What the guest needs
- A phone with a camera and a browser. No app install, no signup, no login.
- Accepted file types
- JPG, PNG, GIF, WebP, MP4, MOV. The extension has to match the file's real type — a renamed file is rejected.
- Max per file
- 100 MB. Checked in the browser before the upload starts and again in the storage rules.
- Files per selection
- 20. Pick more and only the first 20 are queued — select again for the rest.
- Free plan ceiling
- 200 files, for 14 days. Counted per event, across all guests.
- Premium ceiling
- Unlimited files, original-quality downloads and 1 year of storage. One-time 199 NOK, and it applies to photos already uploaded.
When something goes wrong
A guest's upload stalls or fails in a venue with poor mobile coverage.
Each file uploads on its own, so the ones that got through are safe — only the red ones failed. Have them move toward a window or onto the venue Wi-Fi, then pick the failed files again and upload in batches of three or four instead of twenty.
"Unsupported file type" on a file that is obviously a photo.
Snapr accepts JPG, PNG, GIF, WebP, MP4 and MOV, and checks that the extension matches the actual file. Screenshots edited in a third-party app, or a file someone renamed by hand, are the usual culprits — re-save or re-export it from the phone's own photo app and try again.
Uploads stop mid-party with a limit message.
The event hit its 200-file limit. The host upgrades from the event page for a one-time 199 NOK, which lifts the same event to unlimited files immediately; guests just press upload again.
What it is not good for
It is not a private album per guest: everyone with the QR code uploads into the same gallery and sees everything in it, and a guest cannot delete a photo once it has gone up — only the host can.
