FREE SHARED PHOTO ALBUM
Get every photo your guests took — in one place.
Send one link. Guests add their photos from their phones, and everything lands in a single shared album. Don't download an app for one night.
The photo scramble after every party
The group-text scramble
Photos end up scattered through a long text thread, and the host is left scrolling to find them.
The iCloud cap
Sharing a batch of around 20 photos from an iPhone can turn into a slow link instead of the photos themselves.
Android guests left out
When photos are shared through a method that only works smoothly on one kind of phone, the people on the other kind get left out.
How it works
Create your event with the photo album enabled
Turn on the photo album when you set up your event, and choose who can view and who can upload.
Share the album link
Copy your album link from your event page and send it to your guests however you like.
Guests tap and upload
No login and no app download when the album is set to all guests. Anonymous uploaders just enter a display name, and no email is needed.
Photos land in one branded grid
Every photo shows up in one shared grid, styled with your event's colors.
Download them as the host
Save single photos, or download the whole album as a .zip file from your event page.
During the party and after it
Guests can add up to 10 photos per batch while the party is happening, and uploads are rate-limited to 20 per 10 minutes to keep the album tidy.
Once the event ends, uploads close unless you choose to keep the album on. Viewing never expires, so the album stays available to look back on.
Afterward, you can keep every photo. As the host, download any single photo from your event page, or choose Download all (.zip) to save the whole album as one zip file named after your event. Download controls are host-only, so guests on the shared link can look and add photos but not download.
You stay in control of the link. You can copy it, regenerate it (the old link stops working), or turn it off.
Photos from guests who never RSVP’d
Not everyone who takes a great photo is on your guest list. With the album set to all guests, anyone you send the link to can view and add photos, whether or not they RSVP’d.
Prefer a tighter circle? Set viewing to RSVP’d guests only or host only, and visitors are asked to log in first.
