How Snapparty works
From setting up your event to saving the last photo, here's exactly what happens, for you and for your guests.
For you, the host
Six steps from sign-up to saved photos
-
Create your account
Add your name, email, phone number and address, then confirm your email from the link we send you.
-
Set up your event
Choose the occasion, give it a name and date, and write a welcome message guests will see. Decide whether photos appear straight away or only after you approve them.
-
Pick a plan and pay once
Plans differ in uploads, upload window and storage, from £19. Pay through PayPal, with a PayPal account or any debit or credit card. Got a promo code? Add it here.
-
Share your QR code
Your guest link and QR code are ready as soon as you've paid. Design a card in the card studio, order printed cards, or just send the link.
-
Watch the photos arrive
Every upload appears in your dashboard with the guest's name. Approve, hide or delete, read guestbook messages, and choose which guests can see the whole gallery.
-
Keep what you love
Open any photo or video full size to view or save it. You can still log in and see everything after the upload window has closed.
For your guests
About 20 seconds, start to finish
- Scan the QR code with the phone's camera, or tap the link you sent. The upload page opens in the browser.
- Take a photo or choose from the library. Up to 30 photos and videos at a time, each up to 50 MB.
- Add a name and a message if they'd like to. Both are optional.
- Tap Share. Photos are resized on the phone first, so they upload quickly even on busy venue wifi.
- Look back later. Guests can reopen the link to see the photos they shared, or the whole gallery if you've unlocked it for them.
Sharing your QR code
Print it, post it or send it
Design a card in the card studio
Choose a size from A4 down to 40 mm, portrait or landscape. Add your own text and photos, move and resize the QR code, and pick a background colour. Designing is free.
Download a print-ready file
Export your card as a PNG or PDF at 300 DPI to print at home or add to your own stationery. Downloading costs £2 unless your plan includes it.
Order printed cards
50p per card (standard) or 75p (laminated), minimum 10 cards, posted to the address you give. No extra postage charge.
Or simply send the link
Copy your guest link from the dashboard into invitations, emails or the group chat. It works exactly like the QR code.
Privacy and control
Who can see and do what
There's no public gallery, and event pages are kept out of search engines.
| You (the host) | Each guest | Anyone else | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Upload photos and videos | Yes | Yes, while uploads are open | Only if they have your link or QR code |
| See photos | Everything | Their own, or the whole gallery if you unlock it for them | No |
| Approve, hide or delete | Yes | No | No |
| Read guestbook messages | Yes | No | No |
