Free plan · No credit card · No trial

Free, and nothing for the godparents to install

At a christening the best photographs are usually taken by people who will not download an app, will not make an account, and will not remember a password. Eventphoto.io is a web page behind a QR code, the free plan asks for no card, and downloading everything afterwards costs nothing either.

Scan, upload, done — no app, no account

In short

At a christening the best photos tend to come from godparents and grandparents, so the free plan keeps it simple for them: scan the QR code on the lunch tables, or type the short event code, and upload from the phone, no app, no login. The parents enter no card: up to 20 photos per guest, photos only, kept 14 days from the day the event is created, no limit on guests, every photo downloadable in one archive. Video of the blessing, the guest book for messages to the child and 12 months of storage are one $19.99 (£15.99 in the UK) upgrade of the same event.

The actual limits

Up to 20 photos per guest, photos only, kept 14 days. No card, no trial clock, and no charge based on how many people come.

The guest list can manage it

No app store, no login. Point the phone camera at the code; if the scan will not work, type the short event code instead. Those are both things a grandparent can do.

When paying once is worth it

Video of the blessing, and a guest book where godparents leave a written or filmed message for the child to watch in fifteen years.

Scan, upload, done — no app, no account

What free covers at a christening, and where it stops

Two sets of photographs come out of a christening. There are the ones taken at the font — usually from the third pew, usually by someone holding the program in their other hand — and there are the ones from the lunch afterwards, which is where the baby actually gets passed around and where almost all the good pictures happen. The parents are in both sets and photographing neither.

Free covers all of that. The QR code goes on the tables at the meal and on the program; guests upload from the phone as the afternoon goes; everyone with the code sees the same gallery, so a godmother can look through what the cousins added and then add her own. Afterwards the parents download every photo in one archive from a private host page. 20 photos each, no limit on guests, no payment details, bulk download included.

One practical note that has nothing to do with plans: ask before you film in the church. Plenty of parishes allow photographs during the rite but not video, and it is a much better conversation to have with the priest beforehand than with a verger halfway through. Where free stops is video and time — clips are paid only, and a free event is deleted with its photos after 14 days. $19.99 (£15.99 in the UK) once buys unlimited photos and videos per guest, 12 months of storage and the guest book.

Setting it up around the service

Create it in the same week

A minute in a browser, no card, no account. Create it close to the day: the 14-day window counts from when you create the event, not from the christening. You get the QR code and a short event code — print both, because the typed code is what rescues the guests who cannot scan.

Put it on the tables, not in the church

The lunch is where the photographs happen and where people sit still long enough to upload. One on the program works as a reminder.

Download it the week after

Open your host page and take everything in one archive. On the free plan the gallery is gone after 14 days, and christening week is exactly the week nobody gets round to things.

Free christening photo sharing — the questions parents ask

Is a christening gallery free, with no card?

Yes, with no card. Each guest can upload up to 20 photos, the gallery stays up for 14 days, and taking every photo away in one archive is included. Nothing turns into a subscription — the paid option is one payment for one event.

What does the free plan include for a christening?

Up to 20 photos per guest, photos only, 14 days of storage, and no limit on how many people upload. Guests scan a QR code and upload from the phone: no app, no account, no password. At a christening that is the whole ballgame, because the people holding the best photographs are usually godparents and grandparents rather than anyone comfortable installing something new.

Is it enough for a christening and the lunch afterwards?

Almost always. Christenings are smaller than weddings and the photography comes in two bursts — the font, and the meal afterwards. At 20 photos each nobody runs out. The reason families upgrade is not volume, it is video: the blessing, the candle, the first time the baby is passed around the table.

What happens to the christening photos when the free window ends?

The event is deleted with its photos, and it cannot be recovered. 14 days is plenty if you download the week after, but christening week is often the week the family are all staying and nobody sits down at a laptop. Put the download in the calendar, or upgrade.

What does the paid plan add for a christening?

$19.99 (£15.99 in the UK), once: unlimited photos and videos per guest, clips up to 200 MB, 12 months of storage, a digital guest book where godparents and relatives leave a written or filmed message for the child, a printable QR sign designer and photo search. The guest book is the part families tend to come back for — a filmed message from a great-grandparent is worth more in fifteen years than any photograph.

Do godparents and grandparents need an app?

No, on either plan. They point a phone camera at the code and the upload page opens in the browser. Anyone who cannot get a scan to work can type the short event code instead, which is the fallback that quietly rescues the oldest guests at every event.

Start free. Stay free if it fits.

No card, no trial clock. If you want the blessing on video and messages from the godparents, it is $19.99 (£15.99 in the UK) once — for that event, and never again.
