Capture every NYE moment

Your guests are already taking photos. Now there's one place for all of them.

🥂

The midnight countdown and toast

The most photographed 60 seconds of the year. Everyone raises their glass, the fireworks pop, and 40 people shoot the same moment from 40 angles — now all of them land in one shared gallery instead of 40 different camera rolls.

🎆

Fireworks and midnight celebrations

Whether it's balcony fireworks, a TV countdown, or a full venue spectacle — guests capture it from wherever they're standing. Multi-angle shots of the same moment make the gallery feel like a broadcast, not a snapshot.

🕺

Dancing, dressing up, and the whole night

The NYE outfit reveal, the dance floor at 11pm, the photo booth corner — the best candids happen throughout the entire night, not just at midnight. A gallery that's open all evening captures the whole story.

New year wishes and resolutions

Guests add captions to their photos — a wish for the new year, a note to the host, a resolution they're actually going to keep. The gallery becomes a time capsule and guestbook combined.

Set up in 4 steps

From zero to collecting NYE photos in under a minute.

01

Create your NYE gallery

Enter the party name (e.g. ‘New Year's Eve 2026 — Sarah's’), date, and a welcome message. Done in 30 seconds — set it up a week in advance so guests can find it easily when the party starts.

02

Share the QR code

Print it on party invitations, display it on the TV before midnight, add it to the venue entrance, or share the link in your guest WhatsApp group. Guests scan once and the upload page opens instantly.

03

Guests upload all night long

Every guest uploads their best shots throughout the evening and at midnight. Everything appears in the shared gallery in real time — the live slideshow shows new photos as they arrive.

04

Start the new year with the memories

Share the gallery link with all guests on New Year's Day. Download the full ZIP to start the year with a complete record of the night — every angle, every moment, everyone who was there.

Built for New Year's Eve parties

📱

No app, no sign-up for guests

Guests are already dressed up and ready to celebrate — not ready to download an app. Scan the QR code with any phone camera and the upload page opens in the browser instantly. Works on every iPhone and Android.

📺

Live gallery on the party screen

Connect a laptop to the TV or projector. Photos appear as guests upload throughout the night — a live memory reel running alongside the NYE countdown. Drives more uploads as guests race to see their shots on screen.

💬

New year wishes guestbook

Every guest can add a message to their photos — a wish for the year ahead, a toast to the host, their one resolution. It turns your party gallery into a heartfelt new year message board.

🗓️

Keep the gallery open through New Year's Day

Set the upload window open until January 2nd so guests can add photos from the after-party, the midnight walk home, and the New Year's morning brunch. Every memory from the whole celebration ends up in one place.

📦

Download everything in original quality

After New Year's, download every photo and video as a ZIP in full original quality. Perfect for sending to guests, making a year-in-review photo book, or sharing the highlights on social media.

📧

Collect guest contact details

Guests can optionally leave their email at upload. Build your party invite list for next year while everyone is already sharing photos — no separate sign-in sheet, no awkward asks mid-celebration.

❤️

Photo reactions and favorites

Guests react to photos throughout the night — the best midnight shot, the funniest candid, the most touching moment. The most-liked photos surface naturally so you know which memories mattered most.

🎯

Works for 10 or 1,000 guests

Intimate house party or full-venue NYE celebration — the same QR code scales to any crowd. No seat limits, no per-person pricing, no cap on photos. One flat rate for the whole event.

NYE party hosts love it

“We had 85 people at our NYE party and collected 650 photos by New Year's morning. The live gallery on the TV was incredible — people were checking their shots in between dancing all night. It became part of the party entertainment.”

David M.

New Year's Eve party host

“The midnight countdown photos from every angle were the best part. Everyone was shooting at the same moment and they all appeared in the gallery within seconds. We had 12 different perspectives of the exact same champagne clink — it was magical.”

Emma R.

NYE party organizer

“The new year wish captions were the surprise hit. Guests wrote beautiful messages next to their photos and I read every single one on New Year's Day with my coffee. It's the most personal keepsake I've ever had from a party.”

Priya S.

NYE party questions answered

Can guests upload photos after the party — like on New Year's Day?+

Yes. Set the upload window to close on January 2nd or later. Guests can add photos from their camera roll the next morning, after the fireworks, after the after-party. The gallery keeps collecting until the window closes.

Do guests need to download an app?+

No. Guests scan the QR code with their phone camera and the upload page opens in their browser instantly. No app download, no account, no login. Works on every iPhone and Android.

Can we show the photos live on the TV during the countdown?+

Yes. Open the slideshow link on a laptop connected to the TV before the party starts. Photos appear as guests upload throughout the evening — you can keep it running in the background during the countdown.

How do I share the gallery with guests after the party?+

Share the gallery link directly — it's a public URL that works in any browser, no sign-in required. You can share it in your post-party WhatsApp message or post it anywhere guests can access it.

How many photos can guests upload?+

The Free plan handles up to 30 photos — good for a small gathering. For a full New Year's Eve party, the Event plan ($19 one-time) removes all photo limits, adds ZIP download, guest email collection, and a 12-month gallery.

Can guests leave new year wishes alongside their photos?+

Yes. Every guest can add a caption to photos they upload — a new year wish, a toast, a resolution. It creates a meaningful guestbook alongside the photo collection that you can look back on throughout the year.

How long does the gallery stay online?+

Free galleries stay live for 30 days. Event plan galleries stay live for 12 months — long enough to revisit the memories, share with late arrivals, and pull photos for your year-in-review post.

What's the best way to set up the QR code at the venue?+

Print it on table cards, display it as a slide before the countdown begins, and share the link in your guest group chat beforehand. Multiple touchpoints mean more guests upload — aim for at least 3 places where guests will see the code.
