Christmas party guest camera
Every Christmas toast, jumper, and table candid — in one gallery.
From a living-room gathering in London to a rooftop party in Sydney, guests scan one QR and shoot photos in the browser. PicShots is photos only. Free for 10 guests (5 shots each). Larger events pay a one-time fee by guest count. Hosts download all photos as a ZIP.
Built for Christmas parties worldwide
Why Christmas photos never come back
- The group chat is full of compressed screenshots by Boxing Day
- Someone's uncle shot the best candids and never sent them
- Shared albums ask for Google or iCloud at a two-hour party
- You wanted a ZIP for the family album, not a dying Instagram story

Setup tips
Setup tips for Christmas week
1 Put the QR where people queue
Coat pile, drinks table, or dessert. That is where phones already come out.
2 Keep the shot limit candid
15–25 shots per guest is plenty for a party. The free plan is 5 shots each for up to 10 guests.
3 Send the gallery after the holiday
Reveal once, with a ZIP download, instead of chasing people on 26 December.
