Digital disposable camera for any event

A disposable camera on the table was always a good idea badly executed: 27 frames, half of them dark, and a lab bill weeks later. Eventphoto.io keeps the idea and drops the film. One QR code, guests send photos from their phones, and the whole evening is in one gallery before the last taxi leaves.

Nothing to install

The upload page opens in the browser the moment the code is scanned. No app store, no account, no password, which is why even guests who never join in on these things take part.

One code for the room

Print it on table cards, the welcome sign or the program. The same code works for every table and every guest, all evening.

Everything in one gallery

Photos and videos end up in one private gallery that anyone with the code can open. Afterwards, you download everything as one ZIP from your host page.

What it costs

Free: 20 photos per guest, kept 14 days from when you create the event
Paid: $19.99 (£15.99 in the UK) per event for unlimited photos and videos per guest, kept up to 12 months
One-time payment. No subscription and no fee per guest.

Why a digital disposable camera works better than a shared album

The shared album always sounds like the answer, and then somebody needs the right account, somebody else will not make one, and two people upload everything while the rest mean to and never do. A year later, the best photo of the evening is still sitting in a stranger’s camera roll behind a name you never got.

A QR code makes it simple. Guests point their phone at the card on the table, the page opens, they type a name once so you know whose photos are whose, pick what they have taken and send it. It takes about as long as reading this paragraph, and it works on a phone bought last week or six years ago.

That is why it suits so many occasions: a wedding where the photographer cannot be at every table, a fortieth where nobody wants to be on duty with a camera, a christening where the grandparents take the only photos anyone will want later, a company party where a shared drive means requests to IT.

Disposable cameras at a wedding

At a wedding the camera on the table is a tradition. Here it becomes the QR code on the table card: guests send photos from their own phones, and nothing has to be collected, developed or scanned afterwards. The wedding version, with the cost of film cameras for fifteen tables, is on the wedding disposable camera page.

How to set up your digital disposable camera

Create the event

Give it a name and it is ready: about half a minute in a browser, no card and no account needed. You get the QR code and a short event code straight away.

Put the code where people sit

Print it on table cards or a sign by the door, with the event code underneath. Guests scan, type a name once, and send photos all evening from the browser.

Download the whole evening

Open your host page and request everything as one ZIP. The download link arrives by email, usually within minutes. On the free plan, do it within the 14 days, before the event is deleted.

Frequently asked questions about digital disposable cameras

What is a digital disposable camera?

It is a QR code that turns the phones your guests already have into the cameras on the tables. Guests scan it, an upload page opens in the browser, and the photos they take during the evening go into one private gallery. You get the same relaxed, unposed photos as with a film disposable camera, without the film, collecting the cameras at midnight, or the trip to a lab.

Do guests need to download an app to use the digital disposable camera?

No. The upload page is an ordinary web page: scan, tap, choose photos, send. There is no app store, no account and no password, which is exactly why the guests who ignore every other invitation to share photos end up taking part.

How do I share the digital disposable camera with guests?

You get a QR code and a short event code as soon as you create the event. Print the code on table cards, a welcome sign or the program, and add the event code underneath for anyone whose camera app will not scan it. Think about timing: the storage time starts on the day you create the event, not on the day of the party, so a free event created when you order the printing can use up its 14 free days before the party. If the signs or table cards print earlier, the one-time upgrade keeps the event for 12 months. Mentioning it once during a speech works better than any sign.

Who can see the photos?

Everyone with the QR code or the event code opens the same private gallery, so guests can look through the evening together, which is half the fun. Nothing is public and nothing is indexed by search engines; the page opens only with the code. Only you can manage the event and download everything at once, from your host page.

What does the digital disposable camera cost?

Nothing to start, and no card: 20 photos per guest, 14 days of storage, as many guests as you like, and the download of everything included. If you want video, unlimited uploads per guest and 12 months to come back to the gallery, it is a single $19.99 (£15.99 in the UK) for that event, with nothing recurring.

Can guests upload video too?

On a paid event, yes — files up to 200 MB each, which is enough for a speech, a surprise entrance or a few minutes of the dance floor. Free events take photos only.

Ready to try your digital disposable camera?

Create the event, print the code, and let your guests take the photos. You can have it working on your own phone in a couple of minutes.
