The photos from your birthday, without losing a single one
A birthday produces twice as many photos as you will ever see. Everyone takes them, nobody sends them. Three weeks later, all you have is the six shots one friend thought to text you — and none of the rest.
The problem isn't the photo, it's the sharing
Guests take photos gladly. What doesn't come naturally is the next step: opening the gallery, picking what concerns you, sending it on a channel you will actually check. A WhatsApp group works for the three friends who know it exists; it leaves out the guests who dropped by, the colleagues, the cousins who don't have your number. A shared Google Photos album asks each person to hold a Google account and to click a link they won't reopen the next day.
What is missing is a gesture everyone already knows: opening the phone's camera and pointing it at a black-and-white square. A QR code, on the tables or by the door. It opens a page where the guest drops their photos and leaves. No app to install, no sign-up, no account to create.
How it goes
You create the album in thirty seconds: a name, a colour, that's it. You get a poster to print with the QR code, and a secret link to keep for yourself. On the evening, the poster sits where guests pass by. They scan, they send, the gallery fills up live.
You get the originals back, at full quality. No compression, no watermark. Videos too.
Which plan to pick
For a birthday — a handful of friends, a family gathering, ten people or thirty — the free plan lets you get started without a card. It opens the album to twenty photos or videos, with fourteen days of gallery hosting.
Beyond twenty files, or if you want to keep the shared gallery live for a full year with the guests who filled it, there is the Complete plan at €79. It adds export to Google or Apple Photos, so the photos end up where the ones you take every day already live. See the plan comparison.
What to prepare
Very little. One A4 poster, or the QR code printed on a few small cards on the tables. A word when the cake comes out, or a small sign next to the buffet: "scan to share your photos". That is all the event needs in order to remember itself.
The next day, you open the secret link and you see what came in. The first reaction is usually that there is more than you expected — guests photograph far more than they share, and you finally close that gap.
What guests see
One page, in your name, in the colour you picked. One button to choose photos, one to send. The phone offers photos from the camera roll or one taken right then. The upload resumes on its own if the room's wifi drops. The guest never creates an account, never remembers a password, never has to reinstall the app tomorrow.
