Wedding and party photo sharing: every question answered

A way to collect photos from everyone at an event. The host creates an event and gets a QR code. Guests scan it with the phone camera, a web page opens, and they upload photos and videos. Everything lands in one private gallery, and on tools with a live slideshow, on a screen at the venue.

About two minutes. Name the event, download the QR code, print it or show it on a screen.

Yes. Create the event whenever you like and print the code for the invitations. On Snapr the free plan's storage window runs from creation, so create it close to the day or upgrade to Premium for a year.

Saniyeler içinde bir etkinlik oluşturun, size özel QR kodunuzu mekânda gösterin; misafirler onu okutup fotoğrafları doğrudan telefonlarından yükler. Fotoğraflar televizyonunuzda ya da projeksiyonunuzda anında canlı belirir.

Hayır! Snapr tamamen web tarayıcısında çalışır. Misafirler sadece QR kodu okutur ve hemen fotoğraf yüklemeye başlayabilir — uygulama indirmeye gerek yok.

Evet! 200 fotoğrafa kadar, canlı slayt gösterisi ve 14 günlük saklamayla ücretsiz bir etkinlik oluşturabilirsiniz. Premium ($29) onları tam bir yıl saklar, orijinal kalitede indirme ve sınırsız yükleme ile.

The cheapest paid plan we found is Digipic at 149 SEK (500 photos, kept three months). For unlimited uploads with a live slideshow, Snapr at $29 once. Free plans exist at Snapveil (250 photos), Snapr (200 uploads with the slideshow), Kululu (100 uploads, 7 days) and, at 50 uploads each, LensGo, Guestpix, Wedibox, Digipic and Snaplet. GuestCam, Easy Wedding Album, PartyCam and Momentshare have no free plan.

LensGo (Frankfurt), Snapveil (Germany), Digipic (EU/EEA) and Momentshare's paid plans state EU storage on their sites. Snapr stores photos in the EU, GDPR-compliant. The others do not state a location on their pricing pages.

With every tool here except Snapr, yes. Snapr lets you create the event and get the QR code without an account; you make one later to claim the event and keep it reachable from other devices.

You print the QR code on table cards or a sign, or show it on the slideshow screen. Guests point the phone camera at it, a web page opens, they pick photos and upload. The photos appear in your gallery and, with a live slideshow, on the TV or projector within seconds. Afterwards you download everything in one file.

Snapr: free for 200 uploads, $29 once for unlimited uploads and a year of storage. Other tools charge from $29 to $99 once, or price by guest count. See the cost guide for every tool.

Not on Snapr. One payment per event, nothing to cancel. A few other vendors sell permanent storage as a yearly subscription.

On Snapr, yes, any time before the free plan's deletion date. Everything already uploaded comes with it.

No. They scan the QR code or open the link and upload straight from the browser. No account, no install.

On a free event the photos are deleted automatically. With Premium they are kept for a full year from the purchase.

No. Premium is paid once, for one event. There is nothing to cancel.

As many as you like, on both plans. The free limit is on uploads, not on people.

Open the slideshow on a laptop and connect it to the TV or projector with an HDMI cable, or cast it with Chromecast from the dashboard. New photos appear within seconds.

On Snapr, yes, in a corner of the slideshow, so guests who missed the table card can still join.

The slideshow needs one stable connection, for the laptop or the Chromecast. Guests upload over their own mobile data; a weak signal means a photo arrives a little later, not never.
