EventPics in depth

Read the full write-up

EventPics is a shared album for photos and videos contributed by event guests. It is best suited to hosts who want guests to upload without accounts and want control over gallery access. Its event-focused tools are useful for gatherings, but the free plan’s expiry and storage cap make it a poor fit for a lasting archive.

Overview

A QR code or link gets guests to an album where they can upload through a browser or app without creating an account. That makes EventPics a practical choice for weddings, parties, trips, and other occasions where asking every attendee to sign up would add friction.

Uploads remain downloadable in original quality, and the host can decide separately who may view, upload, or download. The maker says files are stored with Cloudflare R2, EU user events are served from EU servers, and event data is stored in a European Google Firestore region. It also says data travels over HTTPS and both storage providers encrypt stored files.

Key features

Guest access and moderation

Hosts can use separate viewing, upload, and download permissions, and can require approval before uploads appear in the gallery. Those controls help keep a shared album private and manageable. Approval is useful when the host wants to screen contributions, but it also means someone must review uploads before they show.

Original-quality media and live slideshow

Keeping photos and videos in original quality avoids compression, which matters to guests who want usable copies later. It also consumes storage faster than compressed uploads, so the plan allowance matters for events with many large videos. New uploads can appear automatically in a live slideshow running in a browser on a TV or projector, making the album useful during the event as well as afterward.

Backup and upload tools

The free plan includes automatic Google Drive backup, a REST API, and a Folder Uploader for photo booths and photographers. The API can upload photos automatically into an EventPics album, including from photo booth software. The Windows and macOS Folder Uploader watches a local folder and sends new photos or videos to an event. These tools make EventPics more than a guest-facing album, particularly for events with a booth or a photographer handling files.

Pricing

The free plan costs nothing, billed Free forever. It includes 2 GB of storage, roughly 500 photos, unlimited guests, and ZIP download. That is enough for a smaller event, but free events expire after six weeks if started immediately, or four weeks after a planned event date. Expired events have a seven-day recovery period, so this is not a dependable long-term archive.

Premium plans keep events available while the subscription runs and include ad-free use and a highlight video without watermark. Premium 10 GB costs €4.99 a month, or €49.99 yearly (works out at €4.17 per month). Premium 25 GB costs €9.99 a month, or €99.99 yearly (works out at €8.33 per month). Premium 50 GB costs €14.99 a month, or €149.99 yearly (works out at €12.50 per month). Premium 100 GB costs €19.99 a month, or €179.99 yearly (works out at €15.00 per month). Premium 200 GB costs €29.99 a month, or €239.99 yearly (works out at €20.00 per month).

The tiers mainly scale storage, so hosts should choose according to the size and duration of their event and how much original-quality video they expect. The free tier’s 2 GB and expiry are the main trade-offs; Premium removes the free-event expiry while the subscription remains active. The entry-level paid tier is the sensible step up for a larger event or one that needs to remain accessible beyond the free window.

Platforms

EventPics is available on Android, iOS, macOS, Windows, and the web, with an API for integrations. Guests can upload in a browser or app without an account. The Folder Uploader is provided as ZIP downloads for Windows and macOS.

Who it's for

EventPics fits hosts organizing weddings, birthdays, company parties, family celebrations, group trips, festivals, and similar gatherings. It is particularly well matched to events where guests should contribute without signing up, the host wants granular sharing controls, or a live slideshow will be shown. Its expiring free events and storage-based tiers are less suitable for anyone seeking a permanent, general-purpose media library.

Pros and cons

Pro: Guests can upload without an account, reducing friction for a mixed group of attendees.

Pro: Separate viewing, upload, and download controls plus optional approval give hosts meaningful control over a shared gallery.

Pro: Original-quality downloads, a live slideshow, Google Drive backup, API, and Folder Uploader cover both event display and media collection workflows.

Con: Free events expire after six weeks from immediate start or four weeks after a planned date, with only seven days for recovery.

Con: The free plan’s 2 GB allowance can be tight for original-quality video, and paid plans are needed for larger storage and ongoing event access.

Alternatives

Photo Sharing Software is a broader category to explore if an event album is not the only kind of photo-sharing tool you need.

Pic-Time is worth considering for client galleries, a print store, and basic design tools; its free plan includes 10 GB of photo storage, reduced to 3 GB after six months, plus 1 GB of video storage.

Picflow may suit workflow-oriented use: its free plan includes 2 GB, 50 workflow credits, one seat, and unlimited galleries and collaborators.

Piwigo is the alternative to consider if you want a self-hosted option; its free self-hosted plan includes all features, themes, and plugins.

FamilyAlbum is a better fit for family sharing where unlimited photo and video storage and monthly free prints are priorities.

PixShare is an alternative with a free plan limited to one album, 50 images, and public sharing by unique link.

SlickPic is another photo-sharing option, with a Pro plan at $16.95 a month billed annually and 200 GB storage.

SmugMug is a paid alternative with unlimited storage, privacy controls, digital delivery, and Lightroom integration.

Zenfolio is a paid alternative whose Basic plan includes 15 GB storage, about 4,500 photos, and up to 500 SMS per month.

Verdict

Choose EventPics for a gathering where guests need a low-friction way to contribute original-quality media and the host wants control over access and display. Its built-in slideshow and photo booth upload options strengthen that event-first case. Look elsewhere for a durable archive on a free plan: EventPics’ free events expire, and keeping them available requires a paid subscription.

Verdict

EventPics gives event hosts control over who can view, upload, and download shared media. Check the free event expiry terms and storage allowance against the length and size of your event.
