PhotoLog for events

Weddings, parties and conferences produce photos on dozens of different phones. PhotoLog gives you one gallery for all of them: a link or a QR code is what opens it, and a signed-in PhotoLog account is what adds to it.

QR sharing and upload

Create a gallery for your event, then share it with a link and a QR code. The share grants one of two things, chosen when you create it: the ability to see what's in the gallery, or the ability to see it and add photos and videos to it too. There is no way to grant upload without also granting view - see QR sharing - how it works for the full breakdown of what each access level does and does not permit.

Gathering contributions into one gallery

Contributions land in one shared gallery - there's no separate inbox to merge or a second copy to reconcile afterward. A wedding table card, a printed sign at the entrance, or a link dropped in a group chat all point at the same place.

Scanning the code is enough to see the gallery. Adding to it takes a PhotoLog account: a contributor signs in, opens the code, and what they upload joins the same gallery as everyone else's. Worth putting on the card, because a signed-out visitor lands on a view-only page that does not say so - see contributing photos to an event gallery for what a contributor meets.

Encryption

Photos and videos are encrypted on-device before they're uploaded. See how encryption works for the mechanism, what PhotoLog can still see, and where the honest limits are - this page states only that it applies to what your contributors add, not the details.

What this page does not cover

  • Per-QR moderation - reviewing an upload before it's visible to others, and letting a contributor track or remove their own. This is planned and not yet built; see QR sharing - how it works for what exists today instead.
