POV alternative
A POV alternative for collecting guest photos
POV is a digital disposable camera for events: guests get a limited number of shots and photos reveal later. PartyLab gives your guests one QR code to upload photos and videos from their phone browser into a live gallery you can download in original quality.
Packages from $44.99 USD · Purchase before guest uploads · One payment per event
The short answerPOV is built around the disposable-camera feel, with shot limits and a timed reveal. PartyLab collects the photos and videos guests already take, with no shot limit, a live slideshow and original-quality downloads.
