# Which Shared Photo Album Works for a Wedding?

Compare a wedding QR album with shared photo libraries and folders.

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

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

## The short answer

A shared wedding album gives guests one place to contribute. Compare the guest upload steps, access settings, and storage period before choosing.

## A simple plan

### **Start with guests**

Check what devices and accounts your guests use.

### **Choose an album**

Compare a QR album, photo library, or folder.

### **Test access**

Ask someone else to contribute a photo.

### **Plan a backup**

Download your collection before access expires.

## Compare the guest experience

| **Option** | **How guests get there** | **Check before the day** |
| --- | --- | --- |
| OwnPix | Scan the event QR code or open its link | Anyone with the link can view the gallery after it opens |
| [**Google Photos**](https://support.google.com/photos/answer/6131416) | Open the shared album invitation or link | Who can contribute and the account settings |
| [**Apple Shared Albums**](https://support.apple.com/en-us/108314) | Join using the available sharing method | Guest access varies with the software version |
| Shared folder | Open a link to the folder | Upload permissions and how guests find the photos |

A service your family already uses may be convenient. A dedicated QR album gives guests a direct event page to open from a printed code. Test the guest view rather than relying on the host's screen.

## Plan for the whole day

Put the QR code where guests pause and send the link to people who are not attending. If you use a delayed reveal, say so beside the code. Send one reminder afterward for guests who prefer to upload at home.

## Keep your photos

Check when uploads close and when the gallery expires. Download your collection before that date and keep another copy on a drive or cloud service you control.

## How OwnPix helps

OwnPix collects guest photos and videos in one event album. Guests use a QR code or link, and you can choose a later reveal with Film Roll Mode.
