Questions about collecting photos from your guests

It’s a way to collect every photo and video your guests take at your event. You get one QR code. Your guests scan it, upload from their phone, and everything lands in one private gallery — including the shots the photographer was never going to get.

Three easy steps. You create your event and get a QR code. You send it to your guests or print it on table cards, signage or the back of a menu. Guests scan it during the event and upload straight from their camera roll. Photos are instantly added to the album/gallery.

About 2 minutes from creating your event to having a QR code you can send out or get printed. as you need to add in a few details.

Whenever suits, but leave yourself time to customise your event details, background, date time, and be able to print cards if you need to.

Yes. Scan your own code and upload a photo, it’ll appear in your gallery exactly as a guest’s would. Delete it afterwards and nobody will ever know.

No. If you fill in event details, send or print a page and scan a QR code, you can run this.

No. The QR code opens a web page in whatever browser their phone already has. Nothing to download, nothing to update, nothing taking up space on their phone.

No. No sign-up, no email address, no password. That’s deliberate every step you put between a guest and the upload button costs you photos.

Yes. It runs in the browser, so any phone with a camera and an internet connection works.

They need an internet connection to upload, either the venue’s Wi-Fi or their own mobile data. If reception is poor at your venue, guests can take photos on the night and upload them later from home; the QR code can keep working after the event.

Scanning a QR code is the same gesture as taking a photo, point the camera at it and tap the banner that appears. It’s the least technical option available, which is precisely why we don’t use an app.

Yes both photos and videos.

Yes. The main guestbook takes written messages, and guests can comment on photos or videos as well as ‘like/love them ❤️’

Yes. The whole event can be downloaded in one go, at the resolution they were uploaded at.

Full resolution. This is the main reason not to collect wedding photos in a group chat, messaging apps compress heavily, and the loss is permanent.

On the single-event plan your gallery is live for 3 months from your event date, that’s the window for guests to upload and for you to download.

On the annual plan it is always available whilst you have an active subscription. Our advice would be to download once the event is complete and everyone has uploaded. So then you have a copy permanently, in case you want to remove the event from your Snap it Share it library.

No cap on the number of photos or videos. However we do have a Fair use policy applicable to our services.

Yes you can customise you event for your guests with title, sub-text, colours, buttons and a hero image background.

Yes. The live slideshow displays uploads on any Smart TV / computer screen or projector as they arrive, which is also the single most effective way to get more guests uploading, people see their photo on the wall and everyone else joins in.

Yes. Your gallery isn’t public and isn’t listed anywhere, it’s reachable only through your QR code and link.

You and your guests do. Uploading doesn’t hand us any ownership of your photos or videos.

No, no images are send to AI models for training, all images are contained to your gallery.

You can delete any photo or video from your event gallery at any time.

For single event or yearly subscription, if you don’t renew, we hold images in an archive, after a further 3 months we will contact you before removing permanently.

That’s what most people use it for. One QR code on each table collects the whole day from every angle, the getting-ready, the speeches, the dance floor at midnight, including everything your photographer had already packed up for.

They do different jobs. Your photographer produces the images you’ll frame. Your guests capture the ones you didn’t know happened,  the table your photographer wasn’t at, the moment at the bar, the video your cousin took of the speech. One is the record, the other is the night.

Yes. Any event where people are taking photos on their phones and those photos would otherwise scatter across forty different cameras/phones.

Yes, and the bigger the event the more it earns its place. At a large event the photos end up scattered across a few hundred phones and most of them are never seen again. One QR code brings them into a single branded gallery you own.

Yes, one event (holiday or expedition) can span several days or weeks, and the QR code works anywhere with an internet connection.

Yes. Download it and print it on anything, table cards, signage, the order of service, a sticker on the bar.

Table cards work best, one per place setting or table, where people are already sitting with their phones out. Also worth having: the welcome sign, the back of the menu, the bar, and near the bathroom mirror (unglamorous, remarkably effective). Have whoever’s on the microphone mention it early in the night; that single announcement does more than any sign.

The link can keep working after the event, so people can upload from home when they’re going through their camera roll. A message the next morning saying “the gallery’s still open” usually brings in a surprising second wave.

Send them the guest upload link by text or email, it opens the same page. Worth having that link saved in your phone on the night; it’s the fastest fix for the one guest whose camera won’t cooperate.

Any phone, tablet or computer with a camera and an internet connection — iPhone, Android, Windows, Mac, in Safari, Chrome, Firefox or Edge. There’s nothing to install, so there’s nothing to be incompatible with.

Always do a test before your event, so make sure you know how it works and the dates, titles etc are correct. if you have any issues with event setup you can contact us on support@snapitshareit.com or contact us through our contact page contact us here

You can, and some people do. The friction is that everyone needs the right account, has to accept an invitation, and has to remember which album. Half your guests will be on the wrong platform and a third won’t bother.

A QR code needs none of that, no account, no invitation, no app.

A hashtag makes your photos public, scatters them across accounts you can’t download from, and loses everything from guests who aren’t on Instagram, which at most weddings is a lot of the room.

Your gallery is private, in one place, downloadable at full resolution, and the photos are yours rather than the platform’s.

Messaging apps compress heavily. What arrives is a fraction of the resolution your guest actually shot, and the loss is permanent, there’s no way to get the original back later. You’d also spend the following week collecting 40 separate threads into one folder.

Most of them do the collecting and stop there. You end up with one folder of a few thousand photos that gets opened once. We score them for clarity and composition, so you can filter and see the best photos instantly.

Yes. Send them the upload link and they can add photos from wherever they are useful for family overseas, and for anyone who had to leave early.

Yes. Create the event, send the link around, and guests can upload from their camera rolls afterwards. Not ideal, you’ll collect far more on the night with a code on the table, but it still works.

Yes. Every event gets its own QR code and its own gallery, and they stay separate. If you’re running more than about three a year, the annual plan works out cheaper than buying them one at a time.

Yes, uploads appear in your gallery album live, and you can setup a live frame to have a slideshow so your guest can see them come in as their uploaded to.
