Why a recap is more than a number
After a party there is a lot of material and very little reason to look at it again. The gallery stays online, but nobody scrolls through eight hundred pictures three weeks later.
The recap sums up what the evening was: the photos that got the most love, the guests who contributed the most, and the numbers worth telling people about.
That gives you something to share — a last message to your guests, a report back to a client, or simply a memory of an evening that fits on one screen.
What the recap holds
Selected rather than complete — otherwise it would just be the gallery again.
Most-loved photos
The pictures that got the most response — usually different ones from those you would have picked.
Most active guests
Who contributed the most. A good opportunity to thank people by name.
The numbers of the night
Photos, videos, participants and reactions, summarised rather than tabulated.
Shareable
As a view you can pass on to all your guests.
Yours to keep
The recap can be saved, independently of how long the gallery stays online.
At the right moment
Worth doing once the uploads have stopped — usually a few days after the party.
From the evening to the recap
Wait a little
A few days, until the last pictures are in.
Open the recap
The summary is built from what happened in the event.
Check the selection
See what gets highlighted and adjust it if you want.
Share it
Pass it on to your guests, alongside the thank-you.
Who sends a recap
Weddings
The closing note that shows how much the guests contributed.
Corporate events
A result you can show internally without building a presentation.
Birthdays
Short, personal and ideally in the week afterwards.
Group trips
A shared ending once everyone is home again.
Recap, gallery link and a hand-built summary
All three show the same pictures. Only one of them actually gets opened.

Uploader Definition: All guests who upload at least one photo or video count as uploaders. Unlimited guests can still view the gallery.
Fair Use Storage: Storage is sized for normal event usage. Reach out if you need unusually large galleries.
After expiry: After the storage period the gallery is closed to guests; as the organizer you keep 30 days of ZIP-download access, then it is deleted.
