How do you gather the photos from a family reunion?
Print a QR code and put it on the tables or at the entrance. Every relative scans it with their phone camera and adds what they took, without installing anything and without creating an account, which is what makes it work across four generations. Everyone sees the whole album immediately, and photos keep their original resolution, so the group shot is still printable years later.
The moments that make the album
Your guests are the ones who capture them best. A shared gallery makes sure none of them get lost.
The arrivals
Relatives who have not seen each other in years meeting again in the car park: the most spontaneous photos of the weekend.
The big group photo
The one everyone lines up for, taken from six phones at once, and the six versions are never the same.
The meal and the evening
The long tables, the children running about, the stories that come out after dessert.
Photo challenge ideas
Photo challenges are built into the gallery: launch them and guests answer with their photos.
One photo per family branch
Each branch gathers for its own portrait, so the album maps the whole family.
Recreating an old photo
The same pose as a family photo from twenty years ago, with whoever is still around.
The oldest and the youngest
One photo bringing together the two ends of the family tree.
How it works
Create your gallery
Two minutes: event name, date, and you're set. A QR code is generated automatically.
Guests scan and share
Display the QR code on site. Each guest scans, takes photos and adds them instantly. No app needed.
Everyone finds their photos
The gallery holds every photo at original quality. On the Event plan, each guest finds their own by taking a selfie.
Which plan for your event?
A family reunion almost always exceeds the free plan's 10 contributors. The Event plan at €69 (one-off payment, easily split across the families) gives unlimited photos and contributors, facial recognition so each relative finds their own photos with a selfie, and 6 months of retention to let everyone download at their own pace.
Frequently asked questions
Will older relatives manage on their own?
Yes. Pointing a phone camera at the QR code opens the gallery directly. There is no app, no account and no password, which is the whole reason it works at a reunion.
How does each relative find the photos they are in?
With facial recognition, available from the Event plan: they take a selfie, give explicit consent, and get every photo they appear in without scrolling through hundreds.
Can we keep adding photos after the weekend?
Yes. The gallery stays open for as long as its retention period runs, so relatives can add the photos they find on their camera once they are home.
Are the photos private to the family?
Yes. Only people with the QR code or the private link can open the gallery. Nothing is public or indexed by search engines.
