No App Required

Guests share photos.
No download needed.

Your guests shouldn't need to install anything to share their memories. With Capture, they scan a QR code and upload photos directly from their mobile browser — no app store, no account, no friction. Just point, scan, share.

The Problem

The app download problem

Asking guests to download an app is where participation dies. Every extra step you add cuts your photo collection in half.

Nobody downloads event apps

Many guests hesitate to download an unfamiliar app for one occasion. Storage warnings, App Store friction, and slow venue Wi-Fi add barriers before the first upload.

The moment passes

By the time a guest finds the app, creates an account, and logs in, the moment they wanted to capture is gone. Speed is everything at events.

You lose half your guests

Every friction point — download, sign-up, permission prompt — cuts participation. If 200 people are at your event, an app requirement means 100 will never contribute.

The Process

Three steps, zero downloads

01

Display a QR Code

Place your unique QR code at tables, on signage, or on screens. Every guest already has a QR scanner — it's their phone camera.

02

Guests Open Their Browser

One scan opens a mobile-optimized upload page directly in Safari, Chrome, or any browser. No app store. No account creation. No passwords.

03

Photos Flow In

Guests select photos from their camera roll or take new ones. Everything uploads in full resolution to your private gallery instantly.

The Experience

Built for zero friction

100% Browser-Based Upload

Guests upload directly from Safari, Chrome, or any mobile browser. No app download, no account creation, no password — just scan and share.

Universal QR Code Access

Works on every modern smartphone — iPhone, Android, old or new. If the phone has a camera, it can scan and upload.

Under 10 Seconds to First Upload

From scanning the QR code to uploading the first photo takes less than 10 seconds. No onboarding, no tutorial, no learning curve.

Full-Resolution Originals

Unlike messaging apps that crush quality, browser uploads preserve the original file. Every photo is stored at full resolution — perfect for printing.

Private & Secure

No public profile or hashtag. The unlisted gallery is reached through its QR code or direct link and includes host moderation.

Optional App for Full Experience

Guests who want the social features — live feed, reactions, gallery browsing — can optionally download the free Capture app. But it's never required.

Testimonial
“We had 180 guests at our anniversary party — ages 16 to 82. Every single one contributed photos. No one had to download anything. The oldest guest said it was the easiest technology she'd ever used.”

FAQ

Common questions

Correct. Guests scan the QR code with their phone camera, which opens a mobile-optimized upload page directly in their browser (Safari, Chrome, etc.). They select photos and upload — all without leaving the browser. No app download, no account creation, no sign-up.

Guests who want the full social experience — live photo feed, reactions, gallery browsing, and notifications — can optionally download the free Capture app from the App Store. But uploading photos never requires the app.

Yes. The browser-based upload works on any smartphone with a camera and a web browser — including older iPhones (iOS 11+) and Android devices (Android 9+). If the phone can take a photo, it can upload to Capture.

No. Photos uploaded through the browser are stored in their original resolution — no compression, no quality loss. The result is identical to an app-based upload.

There is no limit. Guests can upload as many photos and videos as they want through the browser. The experience is identical to using the app — just without the download.

Capture offers the same useful event setup — a QR code and one private collection — without pretending to be a limited film roll. Guests upload from their browser and the host can view, moderate, and export the gallery. Capture does not add shot limits, film filters, or a delayed reveal.
