Keep it effortless

The easier it is to share, the more moments you can collect

Your guests are there to celebrate, not troubleshoot an app. Make contributing a photo feel as natural as sending one.

Nothing to install

Guests open your gallery in a web browser they already use. No app-store detour or phone storage needed for another app.

No guest accounts

Friends and family can contribute without registering, remembering a password or waiting for an invitation email.

One place to share

Send a single gallery link through a message, email or invitation. Everyone arrives at the same collection.

Made for real celebrations

Weddings, birthdays and family get-togethers all deserve more than photos scattered across different chats.

From your guests’ point of view

A familiar link, not a new login

Imagine sharing a photo after a brilliant night out. Your guests shouldn't have to make a new account just to contribute.

Upload and return to the celebration

Three simple steps

You set it up. Everyone joins in.

Create the space once and let your event's photos come together without chasing people for individual files.

01

Make your gallery

Choose an event name, add a cover image if you like and write a short welcome message. You can set it up before guests arrive.

02

Send the link

Share the gallery link by text, email or invitation. Gallery Pro also lets you download a QR code for printed signs.

03

Let everyone add their photos

Guests open the page, select images from their device and upload. You can browse the collection and download the memories.

Small steps make a difference

Less explaining. More sharing.

Different people use different phones and photo apps. A browser-based gallery gives everyone the same starting point, even when your guest list spans generations and devices.

You can still use group chats or your favourite shared albums. MySimpleGallery simply makes the upload experience more consistent for your event.

Questions, answered

Photo sharing without an app: FAQs

The practical details that matter when you're asking a whole group of people to join in.

Can guests really upload photos without downloading an app?

Yes. They open the shared MySimpleGallery link in a modern browser, choose photos from their phone or computer and upload them directly. They do not need to install MySimpleGallery.

Do guests have to create an account or sign in?

No. The event organiser creates an account to manage the gallery, but guests can upload and view photos without their own accounts.

Will it work for guests with both iPhones and Android phones?

Yes. MySimpleGallery is browser-based and designed to work on modern iPhone and Android browsers, as well as tablets and computers. Guests will need an internet connection to upload.

Can I share a QR code instead of a link?

Yes. Gallery Pro includes a downloadable QR code you can place on a sign or table card. Guests scan it with their phone's camera to open the same gallery in their browser. Free galleries can be shared by link.

Is an app-free gallery private?

Each gallery uses its own unique, unlisted link. It is not a password-protected gallery: anyone who receives the link may be able to open it, so only share it with people you want to have access. You can enable upload approval to review contributed photos before they appear.

Can I control whether guests download photos?

Yes. The gallery organiser can choose whether guest downloads are enabled. The organiser can also download the collection.

How much does it cost?

You can create a free gallery and receive up to 50 photo uploads. Gallery Pro costs £18 as a one-time payment per gallery and increases the limit to 5,000 photos, with a downloadable QR code. No monthly subscription is required.

Will the gallery stay available forever?

No. Galleries have a retention period, so you should download and save the photos you want to keep before your gallery expires. Check the expiry date shown for your gallery.
