A QR code on the table, and everyone who came adds their photos and video from the phone they already have. No app, no account, nothing to explain to your grandmother.
A wedding has a photographer. A fortieth in a rented hall, a child's party in the garden, an eightieth with four generations in one room has forty phones and nobody whose job it is. The photos exist; they are scattered across camera rolls and two group chats, compressed to whatever the chat app decided. Melora collects them while they are still on the phone that took them, at full resolution.
You create the event in about two minutes and print the card, or show the code on a screen. Guests point their camera at it and are in the gallery, in the browser, with no download. Photos and video appear as they are taken. If you would rather see things before the rest of the room does, turn on approval and nothing shows until you say so.
Parents are cautious about where photographs of children end up, and they are right to be. A Melora gallery is reached only through your link or QR code. It is not listed anywhere, there is no directory, and you decide whether guests' uploads need your approval. Photos are stored in Germany, inside the EU, and you can have everything deleted whenever you like.
The upload window is set by your plan. When it closes, only guest uploads stop: the gallery stays yours to browse and download, in one archive at full quality, for as long as you want it. Guests can leave a short voice message too, which at a birthday is usually the best thing in the gallery.
No. The QR code opens the gallery in the phone's browser. There is no app, no account and no password for a guest.
Yes. The gallery is unlisted and reached only by your link or code, you can require your approval before anything appears, and you can delete any photo or the whole event at any time.
Yes. There is no minimum and no per-guest charge. The free Demo tier is enough to try it with a handful of people; the paid plans differ in storage and in how long uploads stay open.
On every paid plan, yes, straight from the phone. Voice notes are included too.
About two minutes, one payment, and every phone in the room becomes a camera you get to keep the pictures from.
