Why WeTransfer falls short for events
➡️
WeTransfer is one-way — guests can't contribute
WeTransfer is designed to send files from one person to another. You can't give guests a link to upload their photos back to you. You'd need to ask every single guest to send you their photos individually — that's how you end up with 8 files and miss 90% of the event.
⏰
Links expire in 7 days on the free plan
PartyLab stores original-quality photos and videos in an event gallery you can browse and export. Starter includes 3 months of upload and download access. Plus includes 1 year of upload and download access. Max includes 1 year of upload and download access. Download your files before access ends; downloaded copies are yours to keep.

Hosts who made the switch
★★★★★
“I tried using WeTransfer for my team offsite photos but it only works one way. Everyone had to send files to me separately. PartyLab gave us one link and I had 200 photos by lunch.”
Rachel O.
Team events coordinator
★★★★★
“WeTransfer is for sending a design file to a client. It's not for collecting memories from 60 family members at a reunion. PartyLab is exactly what I needed.”
Luis F.
Family reunion organizer
★★★★★
“The 7-day expiry on WeTransfer is a disaster for events. Some guests were still uploading photos weeks later. PartyLab keeps the gallery open for as long as I want.”

Common questions
Can WeTransfer collect photos from multiple guests?+
No. WeTransfer is a one-direction tool — you send files to someone, you don't collect from a group. To gather photos from 50 guests, you'd need 50 separate transfers sent to you. PartyLab gives every guest one shared upload link and aggregates everything into a single gallery.
How long do PartyLab galleries stay live?+
Starter includes 3 months of upload and download access. Plus includes 1 year of upload and download access. Max includes 1 year of upload and download access. Download your files before access ends; downloaded copies are yours to keep.
Does PartyLab have file size limits like WeTransfer?+
Starter supports files up to 250 MB each. Plus supports files up to 500 MB each. Max supports files up to 1 GB each. Photos and videos count toward the package’s upload and storage limits.
Can I use PartyLab to send the gallery to guests after the event?+
Yes — the event gallery link works in both directions. You share the same link before, during, and after the event. Guests can upload during the window and browse the full gallery whenever they want. You can also share the gallery link directly in a group chat.
Collect photos from every guest. Not just one sender.
