The disposable camera for events
The best photos 
are the ones 
everyoneelse took.
Papped hands every guest a camera in one QR scan. Every screened photo appears live in a shared gallery and lands in your own Google Drive, before the event is even over.
No app. No login. Photos land in your Drive, not on our servers.
A hundred photos get taken at your event. You go home with six.
Scattered on strangers' phones
The candids exist. But you would need everyone's contact, and for them to actually send them over. They never do.
The official set lands weeks late
By the time the photographer's folder arrives, the moment has passed and nobody posts anything.
Album apps keep your photos
Shared-album tools store everything on their servers, behind their retention windows and their paywalls.
Papped changes that.
How it works
One QR turns the whole room into the camera.
Scan
Guests scan your QR and the camera opens right in the browser. No app, no login.
Shoot
Everyone gets a limited roll of 20 shots. Candid and intentional.
Drive
Every photo lands in your own Google Drive as it is taken. Nowhere else.
The screening step
Nothing off-brand reaches your Drive.
In your DriveEvery upload is screened automatically. Anything borderline waits for your approval and never reaches the gallery or your Drive without it.

The honest comparison
You've tried the old ways. That's why you're here.
When photos arrive
What gets captured
Screening
Who holds the photos
Guest effort
| Compared feature | Official photographer | Shared album link | Papped |
|---|---|---|---|
| When photos arrive | Weeks later | Whenever people bother to upload | Live, during the event |
| What gets captured | Staged moments | Whoever uploads, whatever they pick | Every guest, candid |
| Screening | Curated by hand, later | None, anything lands | Every photo screened automatically |
| Who holds the photos | The photographer's archive | The app's servers | Your Drive, we keep nothing |
| Guest effort | None, but they're not covered | Install or sign in, then upload | Scan a QR, that's it |
Not either-or: plenty of events run Papped alongside an official photographer. The pros cover the stage, your guests cover everything else.
Two sides, one camera
Easy for guests. Boring for you, in the best way.
For your guests
A camera, not homework
- Scan the QR and shoot in the browser, no app or login
- Wi-Fi dropped? Keep shooting. Every shot queues safely on the guest's phone and uploads automatically when the connection returns
- A real roll: 20 shots each, refills when they run out
- Filters, frames, and stickers before each shot uploads
- The live shared gallery, theirs to browse and download
For you
Control without chasing
- Every photo screened before it reaches the gallery
- A review queue for anything borderline or reported
- Give everyone +5 shots in one tap
- Pause and resume guest cameras without ending the event
- Personalize the guest welcome screen with your event image
- Co-organizer invites, QR poster export, your Drive as the archive
The shared gallery
The gallery fills itself, live.
Left, the pile of prints your event produces. Right, the same shots reaching every guest's phone as they happen.
Live gallery
Under the hood
Small product, sharp edges.
Filters & frames
Six looks guests can apply before a shot uploads, plus your stickers and watermark.
Your photos, your Drive
Built so a company can actually say yes.
Brand-safe
Every photo screened
Automatic screening holds anything off-brand for your review before it reaches the gallery. You are always the final say.
Ownership
Straight to your Drive
Photos land in your own Google Drive and nowhere else. Disconnect any time; everything already delivered stays yours.
Zero retention
We keep nothing
Photos pass through in transit only. The single exception is a flagged photo held encrypted for at most 48 hours pending your review.

Who it's for
Built for the events you actually run.
Offsites and team days
The candid roll HR actually wants: guests shoot, the folder fills, and the recap writes itself.
Conferences and meetups
Attendees post the same day, while your event is still trending. Your sponsors will notice.
Launches and parties
Tape the code to the door and every phone becomes a camera. No app stands in the way.
Our founding beta is open.
Small events, up to 5 guests, run free every time. Larger events are one price, paid once, sized to your guest list.
Why we built Papped
Why we're building this
"Every tool made guests download an app, or kept their photos on its own servers. So we built the one we wanted."
From the two founders. Every event Papped runs makes it better.
