Every house party ends with the same chore. Someone asks for the photos, a few land in the group chat at 2 a.m., more trickle in over the week, and the best ones stay on the phone of the friend who forgot. The ones that arrive have usually been squeezed by the messaging app on the way.
Papped works like a box of disposable cameras on the kitchen counter, without anyone buying film. One QR code by the door opens a camera in each guest's browser. Everyone shoots into the same roll for the night, and the full-size originals land in your own Google Drive as they are taken.
Each guest gets a limited roll with a counter, and that is the fun of it. People stop filming the whole room and start catching the moment: the kitchen at midnight, the friend who arrived late, the dance-off nobody will admit to in the morning. Filters and frames are there for the throwback look, free on every plan.
An hour before. Create the event and launch it, and the QR code and a print-ready poster are ready at once. The camera works from launch, so scan it yourself, take a test shot, check it arrives in your Drive, and delete it from the Gallery tab before the first guest does.
Print two codes, not one. One by the door for arrivals, one by the drinks for everyone else, and the join link pinned in the group chat for anyone who would rather tap than scan or turns up late. On paid plans you can add stickers to the camera, from inside jokes to the party's theme.
Size it to the guest list. A small get-together of up to 5 guests is free with 5 shots each. Anything bigger is priced by headcount, shown on the form before you commit, and paid once with no subscription. A welcome photo on the screen guests see first is free on every plan, and it is a good place for the invitation or the theme.
How to get everyone's photos after a party
Every photo is screened as it arrives, then appears in a shared gallery anyone at the party can open from the same code. Open your Gallery tab on a laptop hooked up to the TV: a new-photos button appears as shots arrive, and one tap brings them in. People see what is happening in the other room and go and join it.
On paid plans guests can record short clips with sound, for the toast, the cake or the song everyone sang too loudly. Clips go to your Drive and wait there for your approval before anyone else sees them.
If you want a break from cameras, pause it from the dashboard and resume it later. Nobody loses their roll, and nothing can be taken in between.
Wake up to the whole night in one Drive folder, full size and named after the party, with nobody left to chase for the photos they took.
Every guest decides whether others can download the photos they took. If a photo should not exist, delete it from the Gallery tab and it is removed from your Drive too. Guests still uploading when the party ends get a grace period, 24 hours by default.
