After the event

Guest photos are kept while the event exists. Deleting a photo, the event or your account deletes the files too.
Common questions
- Do guests need an app to share photos?
- No. They add photos from the website in their browser, with no app or account.
- Can anyone post photos to my page?
- Anyone with the link can send one, but by default nothing shows until you approve it, and every photo is screened first. Lock the page, or just the Guest photos section, with the guest password and only guests who know it can add photos.
- Is location data kept?
- No. Every photo is re-saved on upload, which removes its location and other camera data.
- How much is Guest Photos?
- $6 or 1 credit, once, for one paid event.
