Getting Started

How does GUESTPIX work without an app?
+

GUESTPIX is a completely app-free photo sharing platform. Instead of asking your guests to download software or register for an account, they simply scan a custom QR code or tap a private link. This opens your event gallery directly in their phone’s web browser where they can upload photos, videos and guestbook messages in seconds. No friction, no barriers. Just more memories captured. Visit our weddings hub to see it in action.

Do guests need to create an account or download an app?
+

No account, no app, no registration. Guests scan your QR code and they are straight into your gallery. No app store, no forgotten passwords, no barrier at all. This is why GUESTPIX consistently sees far higher guest participation rates than platforms that require sign-up. Try our free photo sharing app today.

What is the best way to collect guest photos at an event?
+

The most effective approach is a dedicated QR code photo sharing system. Place your unique QR code on table cards, welcome signage, and your order of service. Guests scan it and upload instantly, no chasing people down afterwards. Unlike shared cloud folders or group chats, GUESTPIX organises everything into one beautiful, private, high-resolution gallery you own forever. See our free event photo sharing options.

How quickly can I set up a GUESTPIX gallery?
+

Most hosts are up and running in under two minutes. You create your gallery, set your event date, add a welcome message, and your unique QR code is generated instantly. You can then drop that code into our free Canva templates for table cards and signage, ready to print well before the big day.

What is the best way to share photos with a group after an event?
+

The best way to share photos with a group is through a private shared gallery where everyone can view and interact with all the images together. GUESTPIX makes this simple by giving hosts a link they can send out after the event so everyone who attended can access the full gallery, not just the people there in person. Guests can browse each other’s uploads, leave comments and reactions, and download high-resolution files to print or share however they want. You can even share the gallery with people who were not able to attend so they do not miss out on the memories. Get the free photo sharing app from GUESTPIX and keep the memories flowing long after your event ends.

Weddings & Digital Guestbooks

Is GUESTPIX the best wedding photo sharing app?
+

GUESTPIX is actually not an app at all, and that is precisely the point. Guests scan your custom QR code and are instantly in your private gallery without touching the app store. On your wedding day, removing that one small barrier dramatically increases the number of candid photos you receive. Over 150,000 couples worldwide have trusted GUESTPIX to capture their day. See our full wedding photo sharing features.

Can I create a digital wedding guestbook?
+

Yes. Every GUESTPIX gallery includes a written guestbook where guests can leave heartfelt messages alongside their photos. Paid packages also include video guestbook messages so you can literally watch your guests congratulate you. Your guestbook downloads as a CSV or video compilation after the event, a keepsake you can return to for years to come. Explore our wedding guestbook features.

What is a digital photo guestbook feature?
+

A digital photo guestbook is a modern way to collect photos and written or video messages in one place instead of a traditional paper book. Unlike older methods where guests only signed their name, a digital guestbook captures images, heartfelt written notes, and video greetings all together in a single private gallery. Every guest who uploads a photo can also leave a message right alongside it. After your event, GUESTPIX compiles everything for you into a CSV of all written messages and a video compilation of all video guestbook entries so you have a beautiful keepsake to look back on. Discover the digital wedding guestbook built into every GUESTPIX gallery.

How do QR codes work for sharing wedding photos?
+

A QR code for wedding photos is a scannable image that takes guests straight to your private photo gallery without downloading any app. When you set up your gallery in GUESTPIX, we generate a unique QR code just for your event. Guests simply point their phone camera at the QR code, tap the link that pops up, and they are taken straight to your private gallery page in their browser. From there they can upload photos instantly and those photos appear in your gallery in real time. You can even display a live slideshow on a screen at your venue so everyone can see the photos as they come in. Try wedding photo sharing with GUESTPIX today.

How do I get guests to actually use the wedding QR code?
+

Visibility is everything. Every GUESTPIX package includes 180+ free Canva templates, including table cards, welcome signs and mini take-home cards, all pre-formatted with your QR code. Get your MC to give a quick shoutout during the reception. The couples who get the most uploads are simply the ones who make it easy to see and easy to scan. See all our wedding QR code tools.

Can I use GUESTPIX for my engagement party or rehearsal dinner too?
+

Absolutely. Our Signature Bundle gives you three separate galleries, one for the engagement party, one for the rehearsal dinner, and one for the wedding day itself. Each event gets its own QR code, its own gallery, and its own download. Perfect for capturing the full journey of your celebration.

Does GUESTPIX work for destination weddings?
+

Yes. GUESTPIX is available in over 100 countries and works in any language because it runs entirely in the browser, so guests can use their phone’s built-in translation at any time. Our infrastructure has edge nodes globally so uploads are fast no matter where in the world you are celebrating. Check our countries list to confirm your destination.

Business & Corporate Events

How does GUESTPIX work for corporate events?
+

For businesses, GUESTPIX is a powerful tool for collecting authentic User Generated Content without relying on public hashtags or social media. Place QR codes at your conference, product launch or brand activation and attendees upload high-resolution photos directly to your private gallery. That content is then yours to use for marketing, internal recaps, and social proof campaigns. Explore our corporate event photo sharing platform.

Can I white-label the gallery with my own branding?
+

Yes. Business packages allow custom logos, brand colours, and fonts so the gallery feels like a seamless extension of your brand, not a third-party tool. Guests and clients scan your QR code and land in a fully branded experience. Visit our business solutions page to see white-label options.

Can I run multiple events under one account?
+

Yes. For agencies, venues, and event professionals managing multiple clients, GUESTPIX supports multiple galleries under one account. Each event gets its own unique QR code, gallery, and download. We also have a dedicated Partner Program with volume pricing for professionals running regular events.

Memorials

How does GUESTPIX work for memorial and funeral photo sharing?
+

During a time of loss, GUESTPIX gives family and friends a simple, private place to share their favourite memories. Place a QR code in the order of service or on a sign at the wake, and guests can upload photos and messages directly, no apps, no registration, no technical difficulty for older guests. The result is a lasting digital tribute the family can download and keep forever. See our memorial photo sharing packages.

Can family members overseas view and contribute to the memorial gallery?
+

Yes. Your gallery private link can be shared by email, SMS or messaging app to anyone around the world. Family members who could not attend in person can still upload their own treasured photos and leave messages within the upload window, which runs for up to 12 months from the event date on most packages.

Thoughtfully designed for moments that matter most.

Parties & Celebrations

Can I use GUESTPIX for a birthday party or celebration?
+

Absolutely. GUESTPIX works for any gathering where you want to collect candid photos from the people you love. Birthday parties, milestone celebrations, school formals, baby showers. If there are guests with phones, there are memories to capture. Our free plan supports up to 50 photos and is a great starting point for smaller events. See our party photo sharing options.

Is there a free option for a small party?
+

Yes. Our free plan lets you collect up to 50 photos with unlimited guests, a digital invitation, written guestbook, slideshow, and a zip download at no cost at all. No credit card required. You can start right now and upgrade any time if you want to unlock videos, more uploads, or custom gallery themes. Try our free photo sharing app.



Guest Help

Can guests upload videos as well as photos?
+

Video uploads are available on our paid packages. Guests can upload from their camera roll or record a short video message directly from the gallery. Videos are stored in full resolution and can be played back in the live gallery as well as downloaded in the host’s zip file. Perfect for capturing speeches, toasts and those brilliant dance floor moments.

What happens if a guest missed uploading on the day?
+

No problem. Guests have a full upload window after the event. On most paid packages that window is 12 months, giving guests plenty of time to add their photos after the day. Smaller entry-level packages have a 3 month window, and the free plan gives 30 days. Simply share your private gallery link and guests can upload whenever they are ready. You can also include the link in your thank you cards so late uploads keep rolling in.

Do guests need WiFi or mobile data to upload?
+

Yes, an internet connection is required to upload. If your venue has patchy coverage, encourage guests to upload when they get home. They have their full upload window to do so. For large events, providing a venue WiFi password on your QR code table cards makes uploading as smooth as possible.

Privacy & Technical

Is my GUESTPIX gallery private?
+

Your gallery is completely private. It is not indexed by search engines and is not publicly discoverable. Only people you share your QR code or private link with can access it. You also have full control over guest permissions. You can restrict uploads, hide photos from other guests, or close the gallery entirely at any time from your host dashboard.

Can I download all my photos in full resolution?
+

Yes. Your gallery downloads as a single ZIP file containing all photos and videos in their original full resolution, not compressed thumbnails. Files are organised into folders by guest name so it is easy to see who contributed what. On most paid packages you can download any time within 12 months of your event date. Visit our wedding photo sharing page for full details.

Who owns the copyright to the photos?
+

You and your guests retain 100% copyright to all photos and videos uploaded to GUESTPIX. We will never use your photos for our own marketing purposes without your explicit written permission. Your memories are yours, full stop.

Does GUESTPIX work on both Android and Apple devices?
+

Yes. Any device with a camera and a browser works perfectly. iPhone, Android, tablet, even desktop computers. Because GUESTPIX runs in the browser and does not require an app, there is no compatibility issue across devices. Photos uploaded from an iPhone are stored in full resolution alongside those from Android phones.
