Guest.Gallery Compared With Other Wedding Photo Sharing Apps

Why Guest.Gallery fits your wedding

The short version, before the table:

No app and no login for guests. They scan the QR code and upload straight from their phone. On iPhone, the QR code can open an App Clip: a small part of our app that starts without being installed. It retries by itself if the connection drops, and can finish interrupted uploads when it’s opened again.
Original quality on Basic and Premium. Photos and videos are stored at their original resolution, and you can download them together before the gallery closes.
Your own QR code. You get QR cards to print and put on the tables.
Photo challenges on your own QR cards. Turn them on when you design the cards, and pick from suggestions or write your own, so quieter guests get a reason to take photos too.
A live photo wall on both plans. New photos appear on a screen or projector as guests upload them. See the photo wall
One payment per event. Basic $47 USD: 25 GB and up to 3 months. Premium $70 USD: up to 12 months under Fair Use, normally up to 100 guests and an expected allocation of up to 1 GB per guest. EU prices are 40 € and 60 €. Upgrades, extensions and any printed products cost extra.
Try it free first. You can create one trial event per account. It is open for 7 days with room for 50 MB, but without the bulk download.

How to choose a wedding photo sharing tool

Photos, videos and plan differences

Guest.Gallery Basic and Premium and Wedbox advertise photo and video collection. GUESTPIX offers photos on its free plan and adds videos on paid packages (FAQ checked 2 November 2026). Celebrate offers free photo sharing, with video uploads on Premium. POV focuses on a disposable-camera-style photo experience; video support has not been verified here.

Guest access and downloads

With Guest.Gallery, guests don’t need to install an app or create an account. On iPhone the QR code can open an App Clip: a small part of our app that starts without being installed. Wedbox and GUESTPIX also advertise browser uploads without an app download. POV uses an iOS App Clip or a web page on Android. Celebrate’s FAQ asks guests to download the app and also describes a web uploader for photos. We have not verified whether a guest can use the web uploader without first using the app (checked 2 Nov 2026). Check who can download, and whether that needs a paid add-on, before choosing a plan.

Test the actual guest experience

Create a test event, scan the QR code on an iPhone and an Android phone, and try uploading and downloading a sample file. Check the venue’s internet connection and your intended privacy settings before printing the cards. A QR code or event link can be forwarded; it does not verify a guest’s identity.

Upload windows, hosting and prices

Guest.Gallery: Basic includes 25GB and three months of gallery access and storage. Premium includes twelve months with Fair Use limits. Windows run from the selected activation/event date; the archive date in your account is the deadline to check. See current prices in your selected currency.
Wedbox: Wedbox’s FAQ advertises two months of free storage after the wedding, storage extensions at $2.50 USD per month and full-quality downloads of all photos and videos (checked 2 November 2026). The concrete download terms for the selected plan have not been verified. Its guest-upload page advertises uploads before, during and after the wedding but does not state a final upload deadline.
Guestpix: Classic separates three months of uploads from twelve months of hosting, starting from the event date. Signature advertises twelve months for both. Check the current package and currency; a three-month upload window is not three months of storage.
Celebrate: The FAQ says photos remain until deleted or account deletion. Videos require Premium and are deleted after the subscription expires. Monthly and annual subscriptions are advertised; check the current price and currency.
POV: The pricing calculator offers a free personal event for up to ten guests and paid guest tiers. Current hosting and upload deadlines have not been verified; check them before purchase.

Storage and practical limits

Guest.Gallery: Basic has 25GB total capacity. Premium covers private events and a small company's Christmas party under Fair Use, with an expectation of up to 100 guests and up to 1GB per guest. Contact Guest.Gallery in advance for larger events, higher per-guest allocations, public events or other commercial events.
Wedbox: Wedbox’s guest-upload page advertises unlimited storage for photos and videos. Current file-size and video-length caps have not been verified (checked 2 November 2026).
Guestpix: Free plan: up to 50 photos. Paid packages advertise unlimited photos and videos subject to Fair Use, with up to 1,000 guests per event; precise file and storage caps have not been verified (GUESTPIX’s FAQ and wedding packages, checked 2 Nov 2026).
Celebrate: The FAQ advertises no maximum photo count. Other current file and video limits have not been verified.
POV: Hosts choose the number of photos each guest can take. Confirm the current allowance and event settings before purchase.

Choose for your wedding

A free photo-only album may fit a small event. Compare the guest steps, video support, download rights, hosting deadline and any subscription before choosing. Paid plans are useful when their specific features match your needs.

Guest.Gallery lets guests upload wedding photos and videos without an app or a login (on iPhone the QR code can open an App Clip, a small part of our app that runs without being installed), with printable QR cards and Basic or Premium access windows. Check current pricing and Fair Use terms, and download your originals before the event’s archive date to keep your own backup.

Wedding photo sharing apps: questions and answers
