Which one suits you?

  • A disposable-camera feel, photos revealed later: POV.

  • A gallery that stays up for a year: GuestPix Signature at $89.

What a smooth guest upload looks like

  • The camera does the work: the code opens a page in the browser. No app, no account, no password.
  • One clear button: guests tap it, pick photos or videos and see them arrive.
  • Something to come back to: guests add their name and see everyone’s photos, so they keep sharing after the reception.

QR Album: scan, tap, share

  • That night and weeks later: the same code takes photos, videos and voice notes long after the reception, signed with a guest’s name when they want.
  • Everyone sees it fill up: public or private. Guests like and comment, uploads show up live, Celebrate adds a screen at the venue, and Grand turns voice notes into text.
  • Nothing to explain: it runs in any phone’s browser. You pick the look, and files keep their full original quality.

  • Limit: guests can leave a text or video guest book entry, but no voice messages.

Test it before the reception

  • Scan the printed sign with a phone that has never used the service, on cellular data, not venue Wi-Fi.
  • Put the ask on the sign: “Scan to add your photos and see everyone’s” gets more uploads than a bare code.
  • Send the link the next morning: good photos often arrive late.
