A guest camera made for birthdays in United States.
Across the US, weddings and corporate events run on tight venue contracts and mixed guest devices — the only upload flow that consistently works for everyone is one QR scanned in the browser. PicShots gives every guest a digital photo roll for birthdays, with one QR scan, no app install, and a host-controlled gallery you can reveal whenever the moment is right.

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
Tuned for birthdays in United States
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 — United States
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 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 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.
4 Place the QR on the welcome program
US weddings nearly always print a programme — keeping the QR there means every guest sees it without separate signage.
