How guests upload photos
Two paths into the gallery — pick from your camera roll, or shoot a fresh photo right from the upload screen.

If you've scanned a QR code or tapped a link from the host, you're already in the right place. The gallery opens directly in your phone's browser — there's no app to install and no account to create.
Pick from your camera roll. Tap the upload area on the screen — anywhere in the dashed-border drop zone — and your phone's photo picker opens. Select as many photos or videos as you'd like. They start uploading as soon as you confirm, and you can keep using your phone while the progress bar runs.
Heads-up for hosts on video. Video uploads require a paid plan (Essential or higher); free galleries are photos-only, up to 30 photos. If you're on the free tier and want guests to share clips, see Free vs paid galleries.
Take a fresh photo. Below the drop zone there's a "Take a photo" button. Tap it and the rear camera opens directly so you can snap something in the moment and send it straight to the gallery — no need to save it to your camera roll first. This works on iPhone and Android; on a laptop or desktop the button opens a normal file picker as a fallback.
Add your name (optional). Above the upload picker, the host can enable a name field so contributions get tagged to you in the gallery. Whatever you type sticks across uploads — the next time you tap upload from the same browser, your name is already filled in. If the host also enabled an album picker, pick the right album (ceremony, reception, photo booth, whatever they've set up) before you select files.
While the upload runs. Each photo gets its own progress row, with a thumbnail and a percentage. If your connection drops mid-upload, the file can be retried without re-picking. Once everything reaches 100%, your photos appear in the gallery's main feed — or in the album you picked — usually within a second or two.
After you upload. Close the tab if you're done. The gallery stays open if you want to come back later and add more photos, leave a guestbook message, or just see what other guests have shared. You can also tap the heart on any photo, leave comments under your favorites, or download photos the host has made downloadable.
That's it — no app required, no account needed.
