1. Does a guest have to install anything?
This one decides the most. Every install is a point where half the room drops out — especially older guests and anyone whose phone storage is nearly full. Check whether the gallery opens in a browser. Ours does: scan, type a first name, upload. No app, no account, no password.
2. Are photos compressed?
Messaging apps and some galleries shrink files to save space. You will only notice when you try to print or crop. Ask specifically about "original quality". With us, files stay exactly as they left the phone.
3. How long do you keep access after the wedding?
A common catch: the gallery runs for 30 days, then you pay again or the files disappear. Ask what happens when the period ends and whether you get a warning first. Ours: 12 months of access, email reminders before it ends, and a one-click ZIP of everything.
4. Can you download everything at once?
A gallery that makes you click each photo individually is, in practice, a gallery with no download — nobody clicks through eight hundred files. Insist on a single-click archive.
5. Who can see the photos?
Ask whether the gallery is public, whether access needs a key, and whether your wedding page can turn up in search results. With us, only someone holding the QR code gets in, and wedding pages are excluded from indexing.
One payment for the whole wedding — no subscription.

The worst possible moment for a limit warning. Check whether you can see usage live and whether the plan can be upgraded without interrupting anything. Both work with us, and everything already uploaded stays untouched.
7. Can a guest undo a mistake?
Someone will upload a bad shot and want it gone. Without a way to do that, they have to ask the couple mid-reception. With us, a guest can delete their own upload for several minutes afterwards; later the couple removes it from the dashboard.
8. What do you get besides the gallery?
Some services are only a gallery. If you want something that keeps guests engaged, check what is included: song requests for the DJ, photo missions, a time capsule for your anniversary, the day's timeline and menu on the guest page. Those are what bring guests back to the page all evening.
- Photo missions and the table game — the most effective way to get photos taken at all.
- Time capsule — guest messages unsealed on your anniversary.
- Song requests going straight to the DJ.
- Timeline and menu behind the same QR code.
9. Can you try it before paying?
Never buy a gallery you have not seen working. Build the page, look at it on a phone, scan your own QR code — then pay. With us the whole setup is free; payment comes only when you open the page to guests.
What you will deliberately not find here
A table naming competitors and their prices. Those go stale within a season, and a comparison built on outdated figures is worse than none — including for you, since you would be deciding on something that stopped being true. Every question above can be put to any provider and checked yourself, on their site and in their terms.
Frequently asked questions
Which wedding photo app is best?
It depends on what matters to you. Three questions usually settle it: does a guest have to install anything, do photos keep original quality, and how long do you keep access afterwards. You can check all three with any provider before buying.
Do guests really not need to install an app?
With us, no — the gallery opens in the phone's browser after scanning the QR code. Check this explicitly elsewhere, because some services still require an install despite advertising "no app".
How much does a wedding photo gallery cost?
Current plan prices are on our pricing section. Building the page and gallery is free — you pay only when you open it to guests.
Do photos lose quality when guests upload them?
Not with us — files keep original quality. It is worth checking with any provider, since compression is invisible on a phone screen and only shows up in print.
What happens to the photos after the wedding?
You keep access for 12 months and can download everything as a single ZIP archive. We email a reminder before the period ends.
