The modern alternative to WedShoots
Collect every photo from your guests without forcing them to download an app or create an account.
WedShoots is a popular choice for weddings, but it adds unnecessary friction: your guests have to download an app and create an account just to share their photos. JoinAlbum removes the barriers. Guests just scan your QR code and upload directly from their browser, no app required. Plus, JoinAlbum comes with a built-in QR editor and works beautifully for birthdays, corporate events, and any other celebration.
