Good questions, plainly answered.

No. Guests scan a QR code or tap a venue kiosk and contribute straight from their browser. There is nothing to install and no account to create. They can leave a photo, a written message, or a hand-drawn signature in under a minute.

Yes, it is free. Every event includes 250 photos, unlimited messages and signatures, the QR code for guests, venue kiosk mode, moderation, and your memory book with print and PDF export. There is no subscription and no card required, and full-resolution photos save to your own Google Drive, so there are never storage fees.

The venue kiosk and the printable memory book are free for everyone, permanently: charging for the book would mean charging for the very thing you came here to make. If paid options appear later they will only ever be about extra photo capacity for unusually large celebrations, and any event you have already created keeps what it has. Nothing is taken away after the fact.

No, it is optional and recommended. Connect your own Google Drive and the full-resolution original of each photo saves straight to it, so every photo stays in your hands at full quality. Without it, guests can still add photos: we hold the originals for 60 days and keep web-quality versions of every photo for your book. Any free Google account works, and we only ever touch the folder we create for your event.

Up to 250 photos per event, which is plenty for almost any celebration. Messages and signatures are always unlimited. If the photo album does fill up, guests can still leave messages and signatures, and you can get in touch if you need more room.

Each event gets its own QR code. Print it for tables, the entrance, or your invitations. When a guest scans it, they land on your event's contribution page, themed for your celebration, and can add a photo, message, or signature right away.

The QR code lets guests contribute from their own phones. The kiosk turns a tablet you set up at the venue into a shared station with big buttons and a camera, resetting itself after each guest so the next person can step up. You can use either or both.

Yes. Moderation is optional and set per event. With it on, every photo and message waits for your approval before it shows up in the memory book.

Everything is gathered into a browsable memory book you can read, export to print as a keepsake, and publish as a private link to share with everyone who came (only entries you have approved appear, and you can take it offline again at any time). Full-resolution photos are saved to your own Google Drive (we keep only small display copies on our servers to render the book), so your guests' contributions always stay yours.

Privacy is built in. Guests see a short consent notice before contributing. Full-resolution photos are saved to your own Google Drive, while small thumbnail and display copies plus everything else (messages, signatures, account data) sit on European infrastructure. You can delete any contribution or your whole event at any time. There are no third-party advertising trackers.

Absolutely. Birthdays, anniversaries, retirements, baby showers, reunions, memorials, and company celebrations all work the same way. If people gather and want to leave something behind, the guestbook fits.
