A live photo slideshow from your guests' phones

Guests scan the code, add a photo, and it appears on the big screen a few seconds later. Any browser and any TV or projector will do, with no hardware to hire.

Free for up to 50 photos, kept for 7 days from creation. Upgrade for unlimited photos and videos.

No sign-up needed. By creating an album you agree to our Terms of Use.

Advanced settings (optional)

How it works

  1. Create your event. Give it a name and a date. It takes under a minute, and you don't need a password or a card.
  2. Share the QR code. Print the free table cards, add the code to your invitations, or drop the link in a group chat.
  3. Guests scan and upload. They open the page in their phone's browser and pick their photos. No app, no sign-up.
  4. See every photo in one place. Browse the album from your dashboard. Paid plans add videos, a ZIP of everything and a live slideshow.

Recommended setup

Plan
Big Event (€59 once). The slideshow isn't part of the Free or Event Pro plans. You can start free and upgrade before the event.
What you need
A laptop or smart device with a browser, connected to a TV or projector, plus internet at the venue.
Where to put the code
The slideshow itself shows the QR code and short web address in the corner, so people can join in from the screen.
Test it first
Connect at the venue in advance, and add a test photo from a phone on the venue's network.

Wording you can copy for your sign

See your photos on the big screen! Scan the code, add a photo, and watch for it to appear.

A free album is deleted 7 days after you create it, so upgrade before printing anything ahead of time. Compare plans.

How the slideshow works

From your dashboard, open the Live slideshow in a browser and make it full screen. It checks for new uploads every few seconds, and shows them along with the photos already in the album. There's a QR code and web address in the corner, so people watching can add their own. Videos can play in the slideshow too.

There's no approval step

New uploads go on screen as they arrive, without anyone checking first. At a private party, that's part of the fun. For a work or public event, keep someone next to a phone with the dashboard open, ready to delete a photo. Our festival page explains what we'd do for a public screen.

Getting people to use it

Start with a few photos already in the album, so the screen isn't empty. Then ask your MC to mention it. It's especially good during the hour after dinner, when people are milling about. A photo scavenger hunt gives everyone a reason to keep adding.

Good events for a live slideshow

Try it at wedding receptions, milestone birthdays, anniversaries, fundraising dinners and conference breaks.

Questions

Is the live slideshow free?

No. It's part of Big Event, a one-off €59 payment per event. A free album doesn't include it, although you can start free and upgrade later.

What equipment do I need?

Any device with a modern browser that can connect to your screen, and an internet connection. You don't need to install any software.

Can I remove a photo from the slideshow?

Yes. Delete it from your dashboard at any time. There's no approval step before it appears, so keep the dashboard handy on a phone.
