Home/How it works

The whole product, in plain order

Create an album. Print a QR. Collect every photo.

Snapjar is not a social network and not a new camera. It is a shared album with a code you can put on a table. Guests use the phone they already have.

Create your album free

Three steps, including having the party

1

Name the event

You get a private album and a QR code in about 30 seconds. Print the card or put the link in a text.

2

Guests scan and add photos

The code opens a web page. They pick photos from their camera roll. No App Store, no account, no 'sign in with Google' wall.

3

You keep the gallery

Photos show up live. You can delete anything. Paid albums stay for a year and you can download the whole set.

Why not a group chat or iCloud?

Group chats crush quality and miss whoever is not in the thread. iCloud and Google shared albums ask people to log into an ecosystem they may not use. A QR in the camera app is the one thing almost every guest already understands.

You can try it tonight on 25 free photos. If it works, you already know what to do for the wedding.

"If they can scan a menu, they can add photos. Grandma can do it."

The design constraint

What guests see

A gallery, a button to add photos, and not much else. That is on purpose.

1

Scan

Phone camera opens the album link. It is a normal web page, so it works on iPhone and Android.

2

Add

They tap Add photos and pick from the camera roll. Optional name, so you know who shot what.

3

Watch it fill

New photos appear for everyone with the link. Good for a laptop on the gift table if you want a live screen.

Questions people actually ask

Do guests need to download an app?

No. The QR opens a web page.

Can strangers find our album?

Only people with the link or QR. Album codes are random.

What if someone uploads something dumb?

The host can delete any photo.

Do photos get compressed like in Texts?

We keep them at high quality, well above what messaging apps do.
