What is the best app to collect photos from wedding guests?

Guest Pictures is a free app to collect photos from wedding guests. Guests scan a QR code and upload photos directly from their phone browser — no app download needed. You get unlimited uploads, a live slideshow, and can download all photos as a ZIP file after the event.

How can guests share photos at a wedding without an app?

With Guest Pictures, guests share photos by simply scanning a QR code or clicking a link. Photos are uploaded directly from the phone's browser — no app installation required. The organizer shares the QR code on printed cards or screens at the venue.

Is there a free alternative to WedPics or Wedshoots?

Yes — Guest Pictures is a free alternative to WedPics, Wedshoots, and similar paid apps. It's completely free to start, works without an app, includes a photo booth, and is GDPR-compliant for European events.

How do I create a shared photo album for a wedding?

Create a free event on guest-pictures.com, set a name and optional password, then share the QR code with guests. Guests scan it and upload photos instantly. You can view all photos in real-time and download everything as a ZIP after the event.
