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, every clip your guests record waits for your approval, and it all 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: 5 shots on a free event, 25 on a paid one. Candid and intentional.
Drive
Every photo lands in your own Google Drive as it is taken, approved clips right beside them. Nowhere else.
The screening step
Nothing off-brand reaches your Drive.
In your DriveEvery upload is screened automatically, and anything borderline waits for your approval before it reaches the gallery. Want to see everything first? Switch on approval mode and nothing goes live until you say so.
Planning something specific?
Not just photos
The toast, the first dance, the sound of the room.
Guests can record up to 3 short video clips each, with sound, from the same camera. No extra app and no extra step.
- 3 clips per guest on every paid plan, separate from their photo roll
- Every clip waits for your one-tap approval before other guests see it
- Approved clips land in your Google Drive, right next to the photos
Sound on0:12Two sides, one camera
Easy for guests. Boring for you, in the best way.
One QR runs both jobs. Guests get a camera that just works; you get the controls without playing photographer all night.
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: 5 shots each on a free event, 25 on a paid one, refilling from your pool

- Every video clip waits for your one-tap approval
- Give everyone +5 shots in one tap

The honest comparison
You've tried the old ways. That's why you're here.

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, photos and clips |
| 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.
The shared gallery
The gallery fills itself, live.
The pile of prints your event produces.
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
Your memories live in your Drive, not on our servers.
Most event-photo apps hold your media on their servers and say nothing about how long they keep it. Papped delivers every photo and clip to your own Google Drive as it arrives, and can only ever touch the files it created there. See the comparison.
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 and clips 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.

You decide what goes live.
Live
On every planThe room watches itself fill up
Screened photos appear in the shared gallery as they are taken. Guests see the event build in real time, and anything borderline still waits for you instead of the wall.
Review first
Pap Plus and upNothing shows until you say so
Every photo waits for your one-tap approval before other guests see it. Everything still lands in your Drive as it is taken. Video clips wait for approval on every plan.
Guests keep a say too: each guest chooses whether other guests can download their photos.
