Create the album, leave the QR code on the tables, and everything your people shoot lands in one place. Your guests download no app and create no account: they scan and they upload.
Live
Three steps
Your guests never have to learn Fotara. They scan, they upload, they get back to the party.
23
Sign in with Google, Apple or a code sent to your email — no passwords, no card — and the QR code is ready that same second. The album is yours, and stays yours even if you change phones.
23A
You get a code to print and leave on the tables, and a link for the group chat. Whoever scans it is in.
24
Every photo and video shows up in the album as it happens. You decide what stays — hide or delete anything.
Where it works
Which is, essentially, every event. These are the ones that come up most.
What you get
Photos and video from every guest in one place, at full resolution and with no cap on how many. It opens with the phone camera, and you are in charge of it from start to finish.
We don’t count them: every guest uploads as many as they like, from their gallery or shot on the spot. The buttons are separate, so nobody has to retake a photo they already have. Videos run up to 1 minute and 320 MB: twice the length of apps that cut them at 30 seconds.
They scan the QR code and they are in: the album runs in the browser every iPhone and Android already has. Nothing to install, nothing to update, nothing taking up space on the phone.
Likes are anonymous and one per person, so what everyone loves stays at the top without anyone having to sit down and curate.
The whole album in a single file, ready to keep or to print. It is yours from day one, not only once the event is over.
Hide or delete any photo or video whenever you want, from your phone. And whoever uploaded something can take their own down without asking you.
Your album never shows up on Google, and inside Fotara there is no search and no public profiles: the only way in is the code you hand out.
Questions
No. They scan the QR code and the album opens in the phone’s browser, the same on iPhone and Android. There is nothing to install.
Your guests never do. You sign in once with Google, Apple or a code sent to your email — no password, one tap. That is what makes the album truly yours and lets you open it from any phone, even if you lose the one you created it on.
Yes — photos and video, from the gallery or recorded on the spot with the album’s camera. Videos run up to 1 minute and 320 MB — twice the length of apps that cap them at 30 seconds — and they’re compressed on the phone before uploading, so the upload starts within half a second even for a long video.
Only whoever has the album’s QR code or link. There is no search, there are no public profiles, and albums are not indexed by Google.
Yes. As the host you can hide or delete any photo or video at any time. Whoever uploaded it can remove it too.
One button. It builds a single file with the complete album at high resolution, ready to store wherever you want. Photos are optimised as they upload so they make it through even on bad venue wifi, and they are still more than good enough to print.
Creating an album is free, with no card: up to 150 memories, available for a month. You can upgrade with a single payment — never a subscription: Plus ($29 USD) with unlimited memories and a year of album, or Max ($69 USD) with three years and the tools for a wedding. Your guests never pay anything.
It depends on the plan: one month on Free, one year on Plus and three years on Max — and on every plan you can download the complete album before then. If your album is about to be archived, we email you well in advance.
Because Fotara is an album, not a social network: it keeps the photos from your event and hands them all back. Many of them are of your family and of children, and a comment box underneath means moderating on the one day nobody wants to be moderating anything.
Plans
No subscriptions: your event happens once and you pay once. And no plan ever closes uploads — your guests can keep adding photos for as long as the album lives.
