How it works

Live in three steps

Set up takes about two minutes and works on any phone.

01

Create your event

Enter a name, date, and optional welcome message. Choose your plan and you're done. Takes under two minutes.

02

Share the QR code

Print it on table cards, display it on a screen, or text the link to guests. They scan and upload instantly.

03

Collect every shot

All photos and videos arrive in your gallery in real time. Download them all as a ZIP whenever you're ready.

Who it's for

Made for every occasion

The Candid Captures Company works for intimate gatherings and large events alike.

Weddings

Guests contribute their candid shots alongside your professional photographer. Everything ends up in one place, ready to download.

Birthdays & Parties

The best party photos are the ones you didn't pose for. Collect them all without nagging people for their camera roll.

Corporate Events

Conferences, away-days, product launches. Collect photos from across the whole event and hand the gallery straight to your marketing team.

Christmas

Family gatherings, office parties, Christmas dinners. Collect every festive photo in one place and share the memories with everyone who was there.

Graduations

Years of hard work, one incredible day. Let everyone there — family, friends, coursemates — contribute their photos to a shared gallery you'll keep forever.

Hen & Stag Dos

The photos from the night deserve to be seen by everyone — not scattered across six different people's phones. One link, every shot, no chasing.

Retirements

Decades of colleagues, memories, and moments. Give everyone at the send-off a way to contribute their photos and create a lasting tribute.

Baby Showers

Everyone wants to capture the moment. Give guests one place to share their photos so the parents-to-be get every shot from the day.

Anniversaries

Mark the milestone with a shared gallery. Whether it's a surprise party or an intimate dinner, collect every photo from the people who celebrate with you.

Features

What you get

Built for events, not adapted from a generic file-sharing tool.

Instant QR code

Generate a scannable QR code the moment you create your event. Print it, display it on screens, or drop the link in a group chat.

No app required

Guests scan and upload directly in their mobile browser. Nothing to install, no account needed.

Shared gallery

Every photo and video goes into one beautiful, real-time gallery you can share with everyone after the event.

Bulk download

Download your entire gallery as a ZIP in one click. Full-resolution originals, exactly as uploaded.

AI guest assistant

Write your event details once — venue, parking, seating, what3words, schedule — and guests get instant answers to their questions without calling you.

Private by default

Galleries are only accessible to people who have your QR code or link. No public indexing, ever.

“We got 400 photos from our wedding guests all in one place. The QR codes on the table cards worked perfectly. Even my grandparents figured it out.”

Common questions

Do guests need to create an account?

No. Guests scan the QR code and upload directly from their phone's camera or photos app. No download, no sign-up, no password.

What file types can guests upload?

Guests can upload image and video files from their phone or computer. We preserve original uploads at full resolution.

How long is the gallery available?

Guest uploads are open from 14 days before until 28 days after the event date. After that, uploads close, and event data is retained for 2 years from the event date.

What if my event date changes?

No problem. Your upload window is tied to the event date, so when the event date is moved, the upload opening and closing dates move with it too.

How long before the event do uploads open?

Guests can start uploading 14 days before your event date.

How long after the event can guests still upload?

Uploads stay open for 28 days after your event date, so guests still have time to add photos once the event is over.

Is event date required when creating an event?

Yes. Event date is required, and it is used to calculate your upload window and data retention timeline.

Can I make my event private?

Yes. You can enable PIN protection so only guests with the PIN can access the upload and gallery pages.

Can I hide the gallery but still collect uploads?

Yes. You can hide the public gallery while still allowing guests to upload photos.

Can I download everything at once?

Yes. From your admin page, you can download all uploads for an event as a ZIP.

Can I preview the guest page before the window opens?

Yes. As the event owner, you can use preview mode to check how the page looks even if the upload window is not open yet.

Can I moderate what guests upload?

Yes. As the event owner you can delete any photo from the gallery at any time from your admin panel.

What's the difference between Snap and Snap Pro?

Snap gives you the gallery, QR code, and downloads. Snap Pro adds four features: AI Highlights auto-curates the best guest photos, Highlight Reel turns those picks into a shareable video, Live Slideshow casts new uploads to any screen in real-time, and Photo Requests prompts guests with shot ideas on the upload page.
