What it is

AfterGather is a free web workspace for photographers delivering client galleries and collecting guest photos. Session projects provide password-gated proofing with favourites, edit requests, and role-based downloads. Event projects accept QR-driven uploads, comments, and reactions, then can show approved media on a projector. Guests upload from a browser without an app or account. Projects may be public, unlisted, QR or link based, password protected, invite-only, or limited to signed-in users. The venue slideshow rotates automatically, supports remote pause and optional approval, and can refresh after connection dropouts. AfterGather keeps HEIC and HEIF originals, creates 720p video previews, and allows caps up to 200 MB per photo and 2 GB per video. The Free plan costs nothing and includes two active projects, 5 GB pooled storage, a 30-day first-project term, both modes, live slideshow, branded pages, and separate approval queues. Storage terms can also start at 180 or 365 days, followed by grace, archive, and deletion stages.
