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 app download problem
Asking guests to download an app is where participation dies. Every extra step you add cuts your photo collection in half.
Studies show 68% of people refuse to download a new app for a single occasion. Storage warnings, App Store friction, and slow Wi-Fi at venues make it even worse.
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.
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.
Three steps, zero downloads
Place your unique QR code at tables, on signage, or on screens. Every guest already has a QR scanner — it's their phone camera.
One scan opens a mobile-optimized upload page directly in Safari, Chrome, or any browser. No app store. No account creation. No passwords.
Guests select photos from their camera roll or take new ones. Everything uploads in full resolution to your private gallery instantly.
Built for zero friction
Guests upload directly from Safari, Chrome, or any mobile browser. No app download, no account creation, no password — just scan and share.
Works on every modern smartphone — iPhone, Android, old or new. If the phone has a camera, it can scan and upload.
From scanning the QR code to uploading the first photo takes less than 10 seconds. No onboarding, no tutorial, no learning curve.
Unlike messaging apps that crush quality, browser uploads preserve the original file. Every photo is stored at full resolution — perfect for printing.
No public links, no search engine indexing. The gallery is accessible only to people who scan the QR code, with full host moderation.
Guests who want the social features — live feed, reactions, gallery browsing — can optionally download the free Capture app. But it's never required.
“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.”

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.
Create your event gallery and let every guest contribute from their browser. No downloads, no accounts, no barriers — just memories.
