How to collect event photos together: a practical guide.
Birthdays, summer parties and company events produce great photos on many different phones. A shared album helps bring those perspectives together. A few clear guidelines tell guests how to join and what happens to their photos.
Before the event: choose the date, time zone and storage
Choose the actual event date and the time zone of the venue. The storage period starts at midnight there. Consider how many people will contribute and the size of their files. Plans range from 5 GB to custom storage up to 1,000 GB. Storage usage, including thumbnails, determines capacity rather than a fixed number of photos.
Invite guests without another account
After booking, share the guest link. Guests need no app or account, just a browser. Include a short explanation of which photos to share, who has access and when the album expires. Anyone with the link can view and download the photos. For sensitive internal company images, consider whether this access model is appropriate for your purpose.
During the event: manage uploads
From the event date, guests can upload JPG, PNG and WebP photos. Each photo is limited to 20 MB and 25 megapixels. As organiser, you can pause uploads, remove individual photos or renew the invitation link. Renewing the link invalidates old links, so remember to share the replacement with your guests.
When storage runs low
You can book a larger plan until one hour before expiry. You pay the plan price difference, including the difference for extensions already purchased, without prorating. Existing photos stay in place. Increasing storage does not automatically extend the storage period.
After the event: set a reminder to save photos
Note the expiry date and download the photos you want to keep in time. The standard period is 30 calendar days from the event date. Additional 30-day extensions are available for a fee. After expiry, the gallery and guest access close. Photos are archived in a ZIP and then deleted individually. The ZIP is available in the organiser account for another 30 days and is then deleted too. Treat Picunora as a temporary event album and keep your own backup of important memories.
