Built for birthdays

Why birthday photos always disappear

  • You always say 'send me the photos' and never get them
  • Group chat photo dumps die in the camera roll
  • The best shots are scattered across 8 phones you'll never see
  • Shared albums are too much friction for casual guests

What you get

Everything tuned for birthdays

  • Built for the cake-cutting

    Guests can shoot the candle moment from every angle, all into one shared roll you'll actually look at later.

  • Works for kids' parties and milestone bashes

    Same flow whether it's a 6th birthday at a trampoline park or a 50th at a restaurant. Hosts who used disposable cameras finally have a digital version that works.

  • Free for up to 10 guests

    Most small birthdays stay on the free tier forever. Pay once only when the guest list goes bigger.

  • Photos that won't expire in your camera roll

    Your gallery stays put long after the party ends. Pull it up next year for a throwback or hand-pick prints for the wall.

Setup tips

Setup tips for a great party gallery

  1. 1

    Drop the QR on the favors table

    Or tape it to the cake stand. Guests scan when they're already standing there, not when you remind them later.

  2. 2

    Skip the per-guest limit for short parties

    Under 3 hours, a generous shot allowance works better than a tight one — there's no time for spam.

  3. 3

    Reveal the gallery during cake

    Live shared gallery while everyone's still in the room beats sending a link two days later that nobody opens.

FAQ

Common questions

Is it really free for small parties?

Yes — events with up to 10 guests are free forever. No card required to create or share the link.

Will my grandparents figure it out?

Most do. They scan the QR with their phone camera, the link opens automatically, and they tap a big shutter button. No accounts, no app store, no settings to find.

Can my kid's party use it?

Yes. You (the host) control everything; the kids just take photos like they would normally. You can delete anything you don't want kept.

Can I add the photos to my own camera roll later?

Yes. Download the whole gallery as a ZIP, or save individual photos to your phone from the gallery view.

What if guests take too many photos?

Set a per-guest shot limit when you create the event. Everyone gets a fair roll and the gallery stays manageable.
