Every guest finds their gala photos

Gala and fundraiser photo sharing for guests and donors

Give gala guests, donors and honorees one place to find their arrival portraits, table photos and awards moments. Put a QR code at check-in and send the gallery link in your follow-up email. Each guest finds their own photos with a selfie, in a gallery branded for your organization.

For organizers and photographers

Gala photo sharing after the guests go home

A fundraiser produces several different sets of photos: arrivals at the backdrop, groups at dinner, award presentations and the candid moments on guests’ phones. A single event gallery keeps that coverage together. The organizer or photographer uploads the official photos; optional guest uploads bring in the rest.

Guests do not need to browse every table to find themselves. They open the link, take a selfie and see their matches across the gallery. The same setup works for charity balls, black-tie dinners, community benefits and awards nights.

Around the venue

Give the QR code a place in the evening

Welcome desk

Display the poster where guests check in. Explain that their photos will appear after the event team uploads them; printing the code does not require the photos to be ready.

Portrait backdrop

Put a sign beside the photo area so guests know where to find their arrival portraits. Keep it outside the photographer’s frame and somewhere people can stop safely.

Dinner tables

A small card gives guests time to scan between courses. If contributions are enabled, explain that Add your photos collects the pictures from their phones.

Thank-you email

Send the gallery link with your post-event message, access PIN if needed, and download deadline. Recipients on the same phone can tap the link instead of trying to scan a QR image.

Three simple steps

01

Upload photos

Drag and drop all your event photos. Our AI processes them in the background.

02

Share a QR code or link

Print the event poster or send the gallery link. Use a private gallery with a PIN when access should stay within your group.

03

Guests find photos

Guests take a selfie in their browser to find matching photos. No app or account is needed to search.

One link to share photos and collect the guests’

You can run the gallery yourself, or work with your event photographer. Create an event, share its QR code or link, and enable guest uploads if you want everyone to contribute. Guests confirm an email to upload; a selfie is only needed to find photos of themselves.

Review first keeps contributions out of the gallery until you approve them. Show right away publishes them as they arrive. Plan limits apply to photos in the gallery.

Example guest flow

Community fundraiser

Find my photos

Take a selfie to find the photos you appear in. No email needed to search.

A useful handover for the whole evening

Plan the guest experience alongside the photography, not after the last thank-you email.

For the organizing team

Create the event and prepare its poster before the fundraiser. Share one link through the communication channels you already use.

For the photographer

Upload coverage into folders for arrivals, dinner and presentations. Guests search across those folders rather than requesting a separate selection.

For guests and donors

Find your own portraits and group photos in a phone browser. Download individual photos or a ZIP on the page, with optional email delivery of the ZIP link.

Before, during and after

Set up a fundraiser photo gallery

01

Create and brand the event

Add the event name, cover and organization logo. Choose an event plan with the photo capacity and access period you need.

02

Choose access and contribution settings

Use a private gallery if access should stay within your guest list. Enable guest uploads if you want contributions, and choose whether your team reviews them first.

03

Print and test the poster

Download the A4 poster from Share and scan a test print. For a private gallery, confirm that the printed PIN is current before making copies.

04

Upload, review and follow up

Add the official photos, review pending contributions and send the gallery link in the thank-you email. Tell guests when to download before the event’s access period ends.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Where should we put a QR code for gala photos?

+

Put the event poster at check-in, beside the portrait backdrop and on dinner tables where guests can pause to scan. The code opens the same gallery as the link in your follow-up email. Keep posters carrying a private-gallery PIN inside the venue.

Can guests contribute their own fundraiser photos?

+

Yes, if you enable guest uploads. Guests tap Add your photos, verify an email and select JPG or PNG photos without taking a selfie. Choose Review first to check contributions before publication, or Show right away to publish them as they arrive.

How do gala guests find their own photos?

+

Share one gallery link. Each guest takes a selfie and instantly sees every photo of themselves (the step-and-repeat, their table, the awards moments) without browsing the whole evening.

Can the gallery be branded for our organisation or sponsors?

+

Yes. Add your logo, website, and links so the gallery carries your cause or sponsor branding through every guest's search and download.

Can it handle a large fundraiser with hundreds of guests?

+

Yes. A single event scales to hundreds of guests and thousands of photos across the reception, dinner, and program: each guest searching independently with a selfie.

Can we keep the gallery private to invited guests?

+

Set the gallery to private and share its link and 6-digit PIN with your invited guests. Anyone who receives both can open it, so keep them in attendee communications rather than public posts. Selfie search returns the photos the guest appears in.

I attended the gala: how do I find my photos?

+

Open the gallery link the organisation shared, take a selfie, and every photo of you from the evening appears in seconds, no account needed.
