How RSVPix works

The QR code collects the photos. The selfie sorts them. Every guest opens a gallery of just the photos they are in, so nobody has to scroll the whole album to find themselves. And during the event, adding photos needs no sign-in at all.

The five steps

Create the event. The RSVP page, the guest photo uploads, your review queue and each guest’s gallery all belong to one event. RSVPs are free. Create as many events as you like and collect RSVPs on all of them at no cost, and your guests need no account to reply.
Put the QR code where guests will see it. Download a printable QR flyer for your event, themed to match it.
Guests add the photos they took. While the event is on, a guest who scans the printed QR code can add their photos with no sign-in at all — no email, no code, no account. They pick their photos, add their name if they want it shown, and they are done. Guests use a web browser. There is no app to install.
You approve what appears. Nothing a guest uploads is visible to anyone else until you approve it. Guest uploads arrive in a review queue marked as needing review, and you approve, remove or mark each one as spam — one at a time or in bulk.
Each guest takes one selfie and opens their own gallery. Every guest opens a gallery of just the photos they are in, so nobody has to scroll the whole album to find themselves.

What your guests actually do

A guest does two things, and they are separate: they add the photos they took, and they collect the photos they are in.

Giving — the photos they took

Guests add the photos they took on their own phones to the event, from the browser, using the same QR code. While the event is on, a guest who scans the printed QR code can add their photos with no sign-in at all — no email, no code, no account. They pick their photos, add their name if they want it shown, and they are done. The no-sign-in window is the host’s to switch on. It opens two hours before the event starts and closes two hours after it ends — 24 hours for an event that runs longer than a day — or at a time the host chooses. Outside the window, adding photos means signing in, as before.

Nothing a guest uploads is visible to anyone else until you approve it. Guest uploads arrive in a review queue marked as needing review, and you approve, remove or mark each one as spam — one at a time or in bulk.

Once you approve a guest’s photo it joins the event gallery and is matched like any other — so a photo one guest took turns up in the galleries of the other guests who are in it, without any of them going looking for it.

That is the part a shared album cannot do. In an album, a photo one guest took stays a photo one guest took, and everyone else has to go looking for themselves in it. Here it is approved once and then returned to the people who are in it. Face matching is not perfect. It can miss a guest, and it can occasionally return someone else’s photo inside the right gallery.

Getting — the photos they are in

This is the heavier half, the part most products in this category are vague about, so here it is in full, in order:

Your guests scan the QR code, enter an email address and accept the terms, collect a four-digit code from their inbox, give a first name, last name and country, allow the camera, wait for the on-screen guide to load, and take one selfie.

That is a real amount of effort and we would rather you knew before your event than after it. If your guest list is elderly, low-tech, or likely to be somewhere with poor reception, factor that in. The RSVP link is a separate, lighter path that needs no account at all.

What it costs

RSVPs are free. Create as many events as you like and collect RSVPs on all of them at no cost, and your guests need no account to reply. It is free while we are in beta and may be capped later — we would rather tell you that now than surprise you. You only need a package when you want the photo side.

The one-off event passes are a single payment. They do not auto-renew, and each covers one event, with galleries that close 12 months after that event.

What you control

You review what guests upload and decide what appears before anyone else sees it.
The no-sign-in window is the host’s to switch on. It opens two hours before the event starts and closes two hours after it ends — 24 hours for an event that runs longer than a day — or at a time the host chooses. Outside the window, adding photos means signing in, as before.
Every gallery opens only after signing in, and that sign-in is locked to your event. A guest cannot reach another event’s photos, and neither can anyone outside yours.
Your selfie stays in this browser until you submit it.

Who uploads

Both sides. Guests add up to 20 photos at a time, which the host can change per event. A guest can come back and upload again. And if you are the host — or the photographer working the event — you upload through the host app instead: A photographer uploads as the host, through the host app, so the per-upload cap that applies to guests does not apply to you.

Everything lands in the same event, so your photos and your guests’ photos are matched and delivered together rather than living in two places.

Guests download web-quality copies of their photos, sized for sharing and printing. Hosts and the photographers they add download the original files.

What it does not do

The one thing RSVPix cannot do yet is hand you a single download of the whole gallery. Each guest can download their own set, and you can download individual photos — a one-click export of everything is not built.
Photos appear after they have been uploaded and processed, not while the event is still running.
Face matching is not perfect. It can miss a guest, and it can occasionally return someone else’s photo inside the right gallery.
It cannot make guests participate. It can make participating easier.
No proofing, print fulfilment or studio management. This is delivery, not a studio back office.
It is not built for events where the attendees are children and consent would come from a parent.

Run one real event free, then decide whether it is worth $49.

Questions people ask

Do guests need to download an app?

No. Guests use a web browser. There is no app to install.

Do guests have to sign in to add photos?

Not during the event, once the host has switched guest uploads on. The printed QR flyer opens an upload page with no email, no code and no account, from two hours before the event until two hours after it ends — 24 hours for an event that runs longer than a day. Collecting the photos they are in is the separate, heavier path: that one still needs the email, the code and a selfie.

How long do guests have to get their photos?

Gallery access is measured from the day of your event. The free package keeps guest galleries open for 30 days after your event, and every paid pass and event credit keeps them open for 12 months after the event.

Can a guest see photos from a different event?

No. Every gallery opens only after signing in, and that sign-in is locked to one event.

Can I download the whole gallery in one go?

Not yet. Each guest can download their own set, and individual photos can be downloaded, but a single export of the entire gallery is not built. If that is essential to how you hand photos over, keep whatever you use for it.

Can the photographer upload their own photos too?

Yes. A photographer uploads as the host, through the host app, so the per-upload cap that applies to guests does not apply to them. Their photos and the guests’ photos end up in the same event.
