Collect Every Guest Photo in One Place

Setting up takes less than 5 minutes. Create a free account, name your event, add your wedding date and any custom branding you like. Then generate your QR code and share it — on invitations, table cards, your wedding website, or printed signs at the venue. You can customize photo challenges, enable moderation, and set up the photo wall display all from the same dashboard. No technical knowledge required.

Absolutely — they complement each other perfectly. Your photographer focuses on the planned shots (ceremony, portraits, group photos), while Photogala collects all the candid, spontaneous moments from your guests' phones. Many photographers love it because it takes pressure off them to be everywhere at once. You can even give your photographer access to upload their professional shots into the same gallery, giving you one complete collection of every moment from your wedding day.

Guests simply scan the QR code with their phone camera — it opens directly in their browser. No app to download, no account to create. They select photos and videos from their camera roll or take new ones on the spot, and the upload starts immediately. It works on any smartphone (iPhone, Android, and everything in between). Most guests figure it out in under 10 seconds, even the less tech-savvy ones.

Yes. Photogala offers two layers of moderation. First, an AI-powered filter automatically flags and blocks inappropriate content (NSFW images, spam, etc.) before it reaches the gallery. Second, you can enable manual approval mode where every photo must be approved by you or a co-organizer before it becomes visible. This is especially useful for the live photo wall — you control exactly what appears on the big screen.

Photogala is built to handle hundreds of simultaneous uploads without breaking a sweat. During peak moments — like the first dance or cake cutting — you might have 50, 100, or even 200 guests uploading at the same time. Our infrastructure scales automatically to handle the traffic. No lag, no crashes, no lost photos. Every plan supports simultaneous uploads from all your guests.

Yes — every photo and video in full, original quality. No compression, no watermarks, no per-photo fees. Hit the download button and you get a ZIP file with everything. The files are exactly what your guests captured, at the full resolution of their phone cameras. Perfect for printing, creating albums, or archiving your memories.

Your gallery is private by default. Only people with the QR code or direct link can access it — there's no public listing or search indexing. You control who can view and who can upload. You can also set a password for extra security if you want to restrict access further. It's your wedding, your gallery, your rules.

Your online gallery stays available for your plan's storage period — and that period only starts with the 10th uploaded photo, not at purchase. Before it ends you can extend it by 12 months or move it to the lower-priced archive, where your guests can still view and download. If you do nothing, it goes offline; for 30 days you can bring it back yourself. Tip: download your photos as a ZIP during the celebration — then you keep your memories forever and can relive your wedding day even years later through the photos your guests captured.
