Compare the guest flow and final download before deciding.
Six wedding photo-sharing options compared
Reviewed 5 September 2026 by Capture. Competitor details come from the official pages linked below; we have not benchmarked their apps hands-on. Capture’s entry reflects the current implementation, including its limitations.
Capture
- Guest requirements
- iPhone or Android browser; display name, no required account. Host setup needs the iPhone app.
- Host cost
- US reference: 7-day trial, then $9.99/month or $69.99/year. Renews unless cancelled; confirm local App Store terms.
- Privacy and control
- Unlisted event access, upload approval, removal, and guest blocking. A guest can forward the code.
- Photo quality
- Original files as uploaded, no resizing or re-compression; a 2,048px copy is kept only for fast browsing.
- Downloads and timing
- Individual original files when enabled. Host exports the full collection as a ZIP of originals or to the Photos app from the iPhone app.
GUESTPIX

The Short Answer
A QR code without a required guest app is common across these options. The useful differences are who can host, how you pay, who can see uploads, whether originals are retained, and how you save everything after the wedding. Try your shortlist with a photo and a video from the phones your guests use.
When Capture is a good fit
Choose Capture when one person will host on iPhone and guests want to upload, browse, react, and comment from their browsers. Event folders, challenges, and the guestbook give guests more ways to contribute when those features are enabled.
Photos and videos are stored exactly as guests upload them, with no resizing or re-compression; a 2,048-pixel copy is used only for fast browsing. Downloads and the host’s ZIP export use the originals. Individual downloads are available when allowed by the host and deliver the original file. The host exports the complete collection from the iPhone app as a ZIP of original files (link emailed, opens on any computer) or straight into the Photos app.
When another option may suit you better
If saving camera originals in a single collection is essential, shortlist the providers advertising original-quality downloads and test their export. If you already organize everything in Google Drive, try that workflow with WedUploader. For a venue display, test a browser wall such as Kululu on the actual screen and network.
A one-time event purchase may fit a single wedding better than a recurring subscription. Check when the clock starts: preparation, guest uploads, and gallery storage may have different dates. Do not assume cancelling a subscription deletes a gallery or guarantees indefinite access.
Run a small rehearsal before choosing
Have one iPhone guest and one Android guest open the invitation as a new visitor. Upload a photo and a video, check the name shown, try approval settings, and save a file outside the service. Include someone who has never used the product.
Use the plan you expect to buy. Check whether a bulk download includes every file and whether gallery access continues through the dates you need. A successful rehearsal is more useful than a feature count or an unsupported number-one ranking.
What This Means for You
- Pick your essential result first: an interactive gallery, original-file collection, or venue slideshow.
- Confirm both guest phones and the host’s device before subscribing.
- Save a test download and read the billing and retention terms before printing stationery.
