# DWM Album

> DWM Album collects your guests' photos in one place. Make an album, print its QR card for the tables, and guests scan it with their phone camera to upload photos straight from their gallery. No app and no account for guests. You see every photo in your dashboard and save them all to your phone or a ZIP. Free for up to 50 photos per album.

A web app for collecting guests' photos at weddings and events through a QR code. Hosts sign in with an emailed code, make an album with optional folders for each function (Mehndi, Nikah, Baraat, Walima and so on), choose a printable QR card design and print it in A6, 4×6, A5 or A4, or four cards to an A4 sheet. Guests scan the code, type their name once and upload many photos at a time; photos are shrunk on the phone before uploading and location data is removed. Hosts see every photo, filter by folder or guest, hide or delete photos, approve photos before guests see them, close uploads after the event, set an album password, run a full-screen slideshow on a TV, and save everything to your phone or a ZIP. Free albums hold 50 photos.

## FAQ
### Is it free?
Yes, for up to 50 photos per album, with every feature: the QR card designs, folders, the dashboard, the slideshow and saving everything. If you expect more photos, message me and I'll make your album unlimited.

### How do I save all the photos to my phone?
Open your album and tap Save. On a phone, Save to this phone opens your share sheet with about 20 photos at a time: choose Save Images on an iPhone, or Google Photos or the gallery on Android. You can also download a ZIP on a computer.

### Do guests need to install an app or sign up?
No. They scan the QR code with their phone camera, and the album opens in their browser. They type their name once (the phone remembers it) and pick photos from their gallery or take new ones.

### What happens when the album is full?
Uploads stop at 50 photos and guests see a message that the album is full. Nothing already uploaded is lost. You can delete photos you don't want to make room, or ask me for an unlimited album.

### Can guests see each other's photos?
If you want them to. It's a switch in the album settings. You can also choose to approve every photo before guests see it, or keep the whole album private to you.

### Do iPhone photos work?
Yes. iPhone HEIC photos are converted on the phone, and every photo is resized to 2400 pixels on its long side before it uploads, so uploads are quick even on mobile data. That's plenty for viewing and for prints up to about 8×10 inches.

### Who can see our photos?
Only people with your album's link or QR code, and only if you let guests view the album. Albums aren't listed anywhere or shown to search engines, the photo files are private, and the location data in photos is removed on upload. You can also add a password.

### Can guests upload videos?
Not yet. DWM Album takes photos only for now.

### Will the QR code scan reliably?
Yes. Every design keeps the code dark on a light background with a clear margin around it, and uses the strongest error correction when your initials sit in the middle. Print it at least 3 cm wide; the A6 table card prints it about 4.5 cm wide.
