Collect and Share Photos From Your Own Event

Guests scanning the photo card at a reception table

The short answer

Print a QR code on the table cards. Guests scan it and their photos upload straight into your gallery from the browser, with no app and no account, and a live slideshow on the venue screen shows them arriving during the event. Afterwards, everyone gets one link to the whole set instead of a dozen group chats.

What makes this delivery hard today

Guest photos live and die in group chats, recompressed and impossible to collect afterwards.
Photo-sharing apps ask seventy-year-old relatives to create an account, which is where participation ends.
The professional photos arrive weeks later at a different link from wherever the guest photos went.
A shared album owned by one guest disappears when their storage fills or their account closes.

The GalleryLink workflow

1
Make the gallery before the event
Name it, pick a theme, switch on guest uploads. Free plan covers one gallery, which for one wedding or party is all this needs.
2
Print the QR cards
GalleryLink generates print-ready QR cards and posters. On the tables works far better than at the entrance, because that is where people sit with their phones out.
3
Guests scan and upload from the browser
No app, no account, any phone. They pick photos from their camera roll and the photos land in the gallery, named to the gallery's sections.
4
Put the slideshow on the venue screen
A fullscreen live view updates as photos arrive, and new photos jump the queue. The room turns around the first time someone sees themselves.
5
Share one link afterwards
Everything, guest photos and professional set together, at one address that does not expire. Send it once; anniversaries take care of the rest.

Why it fits event hosts & couples

No app is the whole feature

Anything that requires an install loses most of a guest list. A browser page that opens from a QR code keeps ages eight to eighty-eight.

You decide what stays

Uploads land where you can review and remove. Needed less often than people fear, worth having the once it matters.

Full resolution both ways

Uploads arrive at full quality and downloads leave the same way, unlike the group chat that flattens everything to a smear.

Works with or without a hired photographer

If there is one, their delivery can live in the same gallery. If not, the guest set is the record of the day, and it is a good one.

What it costs

The free plan publishes one live gallery — enough to try this on a real job. Pro is $5/mo or $50/yr for unlimited galleries, password protection, every theme and layout, and your own studio subdomain. Your photos stay in your Google Drive either way, so nothing here is priced by storage.

Questions event hosts & couples ask

Do guests need to install anything?+

No. The QR opens a normal web page, they choose photos, done. That is the reason participation is high.

Can we stop uninvited people uploading?+

Uploads only work through the gallery link, and you can password-protect viewing while leaving the upload page open, or close uploads the day after the event.

What does it cost for one wedding?+

The free plan covers one gallery. Guest uploads and the live slideshow are part of the paid plan, which for a single event is one month of Pro.

Who owns the photos afterwards?+

You do. Download everything as an archive, keep the gallery online as the shared album, or both. It is not tied to any one guest's account or storage.
