| Option | What to check | Source |
|---|---|---|
| Google Photos | Who can add photos and how sharing is configured | Google Photos Help |
| Apple Shared Albums | Invitation options and the software version guests use | Apple Support |
| Wedibox | The current limits of its free plan | Wedibox |
Free access does not mean every plan offers the same upload window or guest experience. Check the service's current terms before relying on it for your full wedding.
Where OwnPix fits
OwnPix is a paid, one-time-per-event option. Its QR code opens a browser upload page, and Film Roll Mode can keep the gallery hidden until your chosen reveal. If a free shared album already meets your needs, it can be a sensible choice.
Before you decide
| Do | Don't |
|---|---|
| Check who can upload and whether they need an account | Judge the plan only by the word “free” |
| Test with someone outside your household | Assume the host and guest see the same screens |
| Check when access ends | Wait until after the event to find out |
