**Wedding photos**

# How to Make a Collaborative Photo Album

Give a group one place to add photos and find them later.

[**Create your event**](https://ownpix.app/#pricing)

Guests can share from their browser, with no app to download.

Shared moments

## The short answer

Choose an album that allows contributions, invite the people you want to include, and test an upload. Explain who can access the photos and when the album closes.

## A simple plan

### **Choose an album**

Compare the guest flow and access settings.

### **Invite contributors**

Send one link or print the event QR code.

### **Test a photo**

Ask someone else to try uploading.

### **Keep a backup**

Download photos before access expires.

## Choose a format for your group

| **Option** | **Works well when** | **Check** |
| --- | --- | --- |
| OwnPix event album | Guests contribute from a shared QR code or link | Anyone with the link can view the available gallery |
| [**Google Photos**](https://support.google.com/photos/answer/6131416) | Your group already uses Google Photos | Sharing and contributor settings |
| [**Apple Shared Albums**](https://support.apple.com/en-us/108314) | Your group uses Apple Photos | Invitations and options for each software version |
| Shared folder | Your group wants files in an existing folder | Permissions and who can find or change files |

Test with someone who is not signed in to the host account. A link that opens for you may not give another person permission to upload.

## Make the request clear

Tell people what to add, who can view it, and when you need it. For example: “Please add your favorite trip photos here by Sunday.” Ask permission before adding photos other people may consider private.

If the service has an upload or storage deadline, share the deadline and download the collection before it ends.

## How OwnPix helps

OwnPix gives a group one event link or QR code to contribute photos and videos. Guests upload through their browsers, and the host can download the collection.
