How it works

A walkthrough, start to finish.

Everything is automatic after payment. Here is exactly what happens, for you and for your guests.

For the host

  1. Name the event and pay. On Create your album you type the event name and date and pay €69 once through Stripe. No account is created.
  2. Get the links. The next page and an email show your host link (private) and the guest link with its QR code. The email has the QR code attached as a PNG.
  3. Try it. Open the guest link on your phone and add one photo. If it appears in your host view, everything works.
  4. Print the QR card. Your host page has a print view: two cards per page, ready for the tables, the bar, the invitation or a screen.
  5. During the event the album fills up by itself. You can hide or delete any photo, and turn guest viewing off if you prefer a surprise reveal.
  6. Afterwards download the ZIP of original files from your host page. Uploads stay open for 90 days after the event date; the album is online for 12 months after it and then deleted, with reminders 30 and 7 days before.

For the guest

  1. Point the phone camera at the QR code (or tap the link in a message).
  2. The album opens in the browser. No app, no sign-up.
  3. Tap Choose photos, select as many as you like, done. Each photo shows a progress bar and “Added”.
  4. Guests can look through the album on the day (unless the host turned viewing off) and can report a photo that should not be there.

What happens to a photo

Before upload, the guest’s phone checks that the file is a JPEG, PNG or WebP under 25 MB, removes GPS location data from JPEGs, and makes a small preview. The photo then goes straight from the phone to encrypted storage in the EU (Vercel Blob, region Frankfurt); our server only hands out a short-lived upload permission after checking the link and the album’s quota. After upload, the server reads the first bytes of the file and deletes anything that is not a real image.

Photos are stored as uploaded (apart from the removed GPS block), so the ZIP contains the original files. The album is never listed by search engines; its links are long and unguessable. On the deletion date the whole album is removed; we keep no copies.
