Do clients or guests need an app or account?
PixVenu runs entirely in the browser — no app install, no signup, no friction at the venue door.

Neither your clients nor their guests need to download an app or create an account to use PixVenu. Galleries open straight in the phone's browser when guests scan the QR code or tap the magic link — that's the whole flow. No app store visit, no account creation, no email verification, nothing between the scan and the upload form.
This matters for venue UX. Asking 200 wedding guests to install an app at the table card moment is a ~5% conversion path on a good day. Browser-first removes that wall entirely; a guest goes from "what is this code" to "uploading photos" in under ten seconds, on whatever device they brought.
Behind the scenes the platform is a web app that runs in any modern browser on any phone or laptop — Safari and Chrome on iOS and Android, Edge on Windows, Firefox everywhere. Older devices get a graceful fallback view; nothing requires capabilities a five-year-old phone wouldn't have.
The only people who do need accounts are hosts — and co-hosts you invite. A host account is a single sign-in step at gallery creation; after that they manage everything from the host dashboard, and they can hand off or add others via the co-host affordance without involving us. Clients who don't want any new tooling can stay account-free and rely on you (their partner) to operate the gallery for them.
