The best moments happen after the photographer goes home.

Yes — and no other guest photo app does this. When a guest uploads a photo they can pick a song to go with it, and it plays at your event. The live wall shows who picked what, so the music becomes part of the party instead of a playlist nobody chose.

Neither. Pick a vibe — chill, romantic, celebration, upbeat, elegant or acoustic — and licensed music plays on your live wall automatically, on every plan including free. If you would rather use your own library, you can connect your Spotify on the screen device and guest picks drop straight into your queue — Apple Music support is built and coming next, so you are not tied to one service. Guests never sign in to anything, whichever you choose.

Guests simply scan a QR code at your event or tap a link you share. No app downloads, no sign-ups, no accounts needed. They can start uploading photos and videos instantly from their phone's camera or photo library.

Yes! You can create events and collect photos completely free. We offer premium features for larger events, but the core experience — QR sharing, live gallery, and photo collection — is free to use.

Absolutely — moderation is completely optional. If you enable it, every photo requires your approval before appearing on the live wall and gallery. You can also turn on AI-powered auto-moderation to automatically screen for inappropriate content. Or leave it off and let photos flow freely.

The live wall is a real-time display that shows photos as guests upload them. It supports 4 display modes — Grid, Filmstrip, Slideshow, and Single — perfect for projecting at your event. It is a web page, so anything that can open a web page can show it: a laptop on an HDMI cable, a smart TV browser, a Fire TV Stick, Chromecast or AirPlay. See povshare.com/setup for all six methods ranked by how reliably they hold up on the night.

The most reliable way is an HDMI cable from a laptop to the TV — no network in between, and the sound travels down the same cable. A USB-C to HDMI adapter works too, but check first that your device supports DisplayPort Alt Mode: plenty of USB-C ports charge and move files without carrying any video at all, and the adapter still fits perfectly, so it fails silently. Many Samsung and LG smart TVs have their own browser and need no extra hardware. Chromecast and AirPlay both work but send everything over the venue WiFi, so they are the first thing to stutter on a busy night. Full guide at povshare.com/setup.

No. Guests scan the QR code and upload over their own mobile data, so a slow or crowded guest network does not stop photos arriving. The device driving the screen is the one that needs a steady connection — give it a network cable if there is a socket, or use your own phone as a hotspot for that one device.

The itinerary timeline lets you build a visual schedule for your event with up to 12 items. Choose from 42 icons across weddings, birthdays, corporate events, and more. Once enabled, your live wall shows a time-aware footer that highlights past, current, and upcoming moments — so guests always know what's happening next. Available on Plus and Pro plans.

Yes! Plus and Pro plans include announcement animations with 4 styles — None, Float, Typewriter, and Shimmer. You can pick from 20 background templates and 6 fonts. When active, announcements appear in a split-view on your live wall: guest photos on one side and your announcement on the other.

The free Starter plan gives you everything you need to collect and display photos — QR code sharing, all 4 live wall display modes, and unlimited guests. Paid plans (Plus and Pro) unlock premium features: itinerary timeline, announcement animations, 5 transition effects, watermark removal, QR code control, AI content moderation, custom backgrounds, and longer storage. See our pricing section for full details.

POVshare supports all common photo formats (JPG, PNG, HEIC, WebP) and video formats (MP4, MOV). Guests can upload directly from their phone camera or choose existing photos from their library.

No limit at all! Whether you have 10 guests or 10,000, everyone can scan the same QR code and upload photos simultaneously. POVshare is built to handle events of any size.

Yes. As the event host, you have full access to every photo and video uploaded by your guests. You can view, download individual photos, or download the entire album at any time.

No. That's the beauty of POVshare — guests scan the QR code and start uploading immediately. No app downloads, no registration, no friction. It works on any phone with a web browser.
