Free, which at a company also means no procurement conversation

The photos from last year’s summer party are on ninety phones and in four group chats, and internal comms has none of them. Eventphoto.io’s free plan fixes that without a card, without an app on managed devices, and without anything for IT to approve beyond a link.

In short

At a company event such as a kickoff or a Christmas party, the free plan collects attendees’ photos without a card, a purchase order or anything for IT to approve. Each attendee scans a QR code and uploads up to 20 photos, photos only, from the phone, no app and no login, so nothing is installed on managed devices. The gallery is kept 14 days from creation for any number of people, and the organizer downloads all of it in one archive. For video of the awards, or a gallery internal comms can still reach in 12 months, pay $19.99 (£15.99 in the UK) once per event, never per head.

The actual limits

Up to 20 photos per attendee, photos only, kept 14 days. No card, no trial clock, and no per-head pricing however many people come.

Nothing to roll out

No app to push to company phones, no accounts to provision, no SSO. Managed devices often block installs outright, and this never asks for one.

When paying once is worth it

Video of the awards or the speeches, a gallery internal comms can still reach in 12 months, and tagging that makes a long gallery searchable.

Scan, upload, done — no app, no account

What free covers at a company event, and where it stops

The email that goes out the Monday after a company party — “if you took any good photos, please send them to marketing” — has a reliable yield of about four photos from the same two people. It is not that nobody took any. It is that sending forty photos to a colleague is genuinely annoying, and by Monday the evening has stopped feeling like it warrants the effort.

Asking during the party works because the ask is a QR code on the table. People upload from the phone while they are still at the event, and because everyone with the code sees the gallery, they scroll through what is already there — which is what makes the next person add theirs. The organizer then downloads the whole thing at full resolution from a private host page. On the free plan that is up to 20 photos each, any number of attendees, and the bulk download included.

Where free stops is video and time. Clips are on the paid plan, which matters if the awards or the CEO’s five minutes on stage are worth keeping. And a free event is deleted with its photos after 14 days — a window that falls entirely inside the week when everyone is catching up on the work they missed. $19.99 (£15.99 in the UK) once, per event and never recurring, removes both problems and adds tagging that makes a large gallery searchable.

Setting it up without an IT ticket

1

Create the event

A minute in a browser, no card, no account, no purchase order. You get the QR code and a short event code right away.

2

Put the code where people already look

Table cards, the slide between speeches, the bar, the calendar invite. Two or three placements beat one sign by the door everybody walks past.

3

Give the download to a named person

Not “the team” — a person, with a reminder. On the free plan the gallery is deleted after 14 days and there is no recovering it.

Free corporate event photo sharing — the questions organizers ask

Is it really free, with no card?

Yes. Up to 20 photos per attendee, 14 days of storage, and the bulk download included, with no payment details at any point. That matters more at work than anywhere else: a free tool with no card is something you can just use, while anything with a card becomes a procurement conversation.

What does the free plan include for a company event?

Up to 20 photos per person, photos only, kept 14 days, with no cap on how many people upload — so the plan does not care whether forty or four hundred attend. Attendees scan a QR code and upload from the phone: nothing to install on a managed device, no company account, no SSO integration, nothing for IT to review beyond a link.

Is it enough for a kickoff or a Christmas party?

Usually. 20 photos each across an evening is more than most people take, and the volume is rarely what runs out first. What runs out is time: the 14 days end in the week after the party, which at a company is the week everyone is catching up on everything else. If internal comms will want the material later, that is the reason to upgrade, not the photo count.

What happens when the free window closes?

The event is deleted along with its photos, permanently. Give the download to a named person with a calendar reminder rather than to “whoever gets to it” — that is the failure mode at a company, every time.

What does the paid plan add for a company event?

$19.99 (£15.99 in the UK), once, for the event — not per attendee and not a subscription. It adds unlimited photos and videos per person, clips up to 200 MB, 12 months of storage, a printable QR sign designer and photo search, which filters the gallery down to the awards or the dinner in a few seconds — it covers the first 500 photos of an event, and photos rather than clips. For a company event it goes on one card and needs no approval cycle.

Who can see the gallery, and is it public?

It is not public and it is not indexed by search engines. It opens only for people holding the event code, and you can add a PIN code on top. Everyone with the code sees the same gallery, which is what keeps people uploading. The private host page stays with the organizer: that is what manages the event and downloads everything at once. Tell attendees at the event what the photos may be used for — that conversation is much easier on the night of the event than a year later.

Start free. Stay free if it fits.

No card, no trial clock, nothing to approve. If internal comms will want video and a longer window, it is $19.99 (£15.99 in the UK) once for the event.
