Made for the party, not the bleachers
Use PicShots where guests can actually shoot: backyard dinner, restaurant, Airbnb, hotel suite. Follow venue photo rules at the ceremony itself.
Graduation guest camera
The after-party photos the stadium never caught.
Commencement is crowded and often camera-restricted. PicShots is for everything around it: the house party, the dinner, the cousins who flew in. One QR, no app, a gallery the graduate actually gets. Free up to 10 guests; larger weekends are $16–$65 USD.
Built for graduation weekends
Why graduation photos are a mess by Monday
- The ceremony is too far away, too dark, or bans large cameras
- Out-of-town family takes the best candids home on their phones
- The class group chat is 400 people and not a photo album
- Parents are hugging everyone, so they are not shooting
What you get
Everything tuned for graduation guest camera
Family, classmates, and neighbours on one roll
No one installs an app between the handshake and the parking lot. Mixed-age lists scan the same QR and type a name.
A folder for the graduate, not a hashtag graveyard
Public tags mix with thousands of other cap-and-gown posts. Your gallery is only this weekend, named, and downloadable.
USD pricing that matches a house party or a hall
Free up to 10. Intimate dinners start at $16. Larger receptions go to $65 for up to 250 guests. Paid once.
Setup tips
Setup tips for graduation weekend
1 Print the QR for the after-party, not the ceremony gate
Stadiums and halls often restrict photography. Put the code on the dinner table, the backyard drinks, or the Airbnb welcome note.
2 Assign one cousin to scan first
The first upload makes the gallery real. Out-of-town relatives who already have phones out will follow.
3 Download before everyone flies home
Export the ZIP the next morning so the graduate has a local copy before relatives scatter.
FAQ
Common questions
Can we use PicShots inside the commencement venue?
Follow the school or venue rules. Many ceremonies limit photography from the seats. Place the QR at the after-party so guests who kept phones away during the rite still join later.
Do guests need an app?
No. They scan the QR, type a name, and shoot in the browser. Photos upload to your gallery instead of filling their camera roll.
How much does a graduation gallery cost?
Free up to 10 guests. Paid events are $16 (up to 50 guests), $32 (up to 100 guests), $40 (up to 150 guests), $65 (up to 250 guests) in USD, one time. No subscription.
Should we still make a graduation hashtag?
A public tag is fine for stories. Use the free hashtag generator, then collect originals in PicShots so the family ZIP is not a scavenger hunt across Instagram.
Can we keep the gallery to invited family?
Yes. Share the link only with attendees and add a PIN if you want an extra step. Hosts can delete uploads before revealing.
USD pricing
Free up to 10 guests. Paid once after that.
Catalog prices are in US dollars. You pay per event, not per photo, and there is no monthly subscription. Paddle may show a local currency at checkout.
