Every graduation party photo.
One QR code.
Your family, friends, and 80 proud guests are all taking photos at the graduation party — the cap toss, the family hug, the cake, the dance floor. Give them one QR code to upload everything. No app, no account, no chasing anyone afterwards.
A graduation party photo booth alternative that collects every guest's phone photos — not just one booth corner.
6 months of premium hosting
"Your kid just graduated. You have 3 photos."
How do you collect graduation party photos when they're scattered across dozens of phones? Uncle Mike captured a 10-minute video of the speeches, but it's stuck on his phone. Your neighbor took a perfect candid of the graduate laughing, but she forgot to send it. And that $500 photo booth rental for graduation party? It only caught the people wearing silly glasses, not the real, unscripted moments of the day.
A DIY photo booth still misses the backyard, the speeches, and the candids — unless every guest becomes a photographer with one QR code.
Don't let the best memories of their biggest milestone vanish into dozens of different text threads and social media stories.

Features Designed for the Graduate
More than just a folder — it's a curated experience.
Graduation Photo Scavenger Hunt
Built-in graduation photo scavenger hunt prompts: "Cap & gown selfie," "Three generations together," "Best friends since freshman year," "The cake before anyone cuts it." Guests compete — every entry uploads to the gallery automatically.
Digital Guest Book (Audio & Video)
Guests leave voice messages, video wishes, and written notes — a guest book alternative to paper sign-in books. See the graduation party guest book.
Any Format
Backyard BBQ for 20? High school graduation party, college graduation party, pool party, formal dinner, or graduation open house for 200? The QR code works the same way everywhere. Guests come and go — the gallery stays.
PDF Album
The gallery generates a print-ready album in 6 formats — A4, 8×10, square. Take it to Costco and get a real graduation party photo album for under $15. A keepsake the graduate takes to college.

Works for graduation open house parties too
An open house graduation party means guests come and go over 3–4 hours — Midwest-style come-and-go format. Nobody's there at the same time. That's exactly the problem — and exactly why a QR gallery works better than a photo booth rental for graduation party. The QR stays on the table the entire time. First guest at 1pm and last guest at 5pm? They all upload to the same gallery.
No booking a booth for specific hours. No worrying about timing. Read our graduation open house guide for food, flow, and checklist tips — or download our free graduation open house checklist PDF.

Things we should tell you upfront
No AI Filters or Editing
Photos are exactly as guests took them. That's the point — real moments, not processed content. We don't touch your photos with AI enhancement.
6 Months Hosting
Hosting is 6 months from activation — not from the day you pay. Buy early when you start planning, activate when the party date is set. Download everything before the window ends; the files are yours forever.
Not a Social Network
No followers, no strangers. Just your party, your guests, your gallery. We don't sell data and we don't have an "explore" feed.
We Don't Replace a Professional Photographer
If you hired one for the ceremony, great. This captures the party — the part the photographer usually isn't at.
They worked hard for this moment.
Capture all of it.
High school or college — one gallery for the whole party.
