The Problem

The app download problem

A guest who is ready to share a photo needs a clear destination and a short explanation. Downloads, unfamiliar accounts and weak venue connections can interrupt that moment.

Extra setup before sharing

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.

Sharing gets postponed

Guests may leave an unfamiliar setup flow and plan to send photos later. Keep the link easy to find and give them a specific invitation to contribute.

Different phones need a simple fallback

Test the guest flow on representative phones before the event. Provide the direct gallery link and a person who can help if scanning or browser permissions get in the way.

The Process

For guests: scan or open the link, join, and contribute

01

Display a QR Code

Create the event on iPhone and share its QR code on signs or table cards. Put a direct link in your guest message for people reading on the same phone.

02

Guests Open Their Browser

The code opens the event in a compatible browser. Guests enter a display name without completing an email/password registration flow.

03

Photos Flow In

Guests select photos from their camera roll or take new ones. Their photos are optimized for reliable browser upload and added to the private gallery.

The Experience

A shorter route from the guest’s phone to your event

100% Browser-Based Upload

Guests contribute through compatible mobile browsers without a required app download. The host creates the event and manages settings in the iPhone app.

QR code and direct-link access

Use a printed code in the venue and a tappable link in guest messages. Test the actual guest phones and keep assistance available.

A Fast First Upload

A clear event name and short invitation help guests reach their first upload. Time varies with the phone, connection, file size and permissions; rehearse the flow before printing signs.

High-Quality Browser Uploads

Uploads are stored as the original files; the gallery shows a 2,048-pixel copy for speed, and downloads and the host’s ZIP export use the originals.

Private & Secure

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

An Interactive Browser Gallery

Guests can browse, react, and comment right in their browser when your settings allow it. The free Capture iPhone app is optional.
