The shared photo album where every guest finds their photos with a selfie
A shared (or collaborative) photo album gathers guests' and the photographer's photos in one place. With CéSAR Photo, guests scan a QR code, add their photos with no app, then find only their own with a selfie: free to try, then 49 € per event.

Classic shared album or face recognition: what's the difference?
| Classic shared album | Face-recognition album (CéSAR Photo) | |
|---|---|---|
| Adding photos | Everyone sends theirs to a shared gallery | Same: guests and photographer add their photos |
| Finding your photos | By scrolling the whole album | A selfie: only the photos the guest appears in |
| With 500 photos | Tedious, many guests give up | A few seconds per guest |
| Guest access | App or account depending on the service | QR code or link, no app or account |
| Personal data | Photos only | Selfie deleted after the search, template erased at expiry |
How do you create a shared photo album for a wedding?
- Create the gallery (free) and choose its look among the themes.
- Print the QR code or poster to place on the tables.
- Guests scan and add their photos; the photographer imports their gallery (direct upload, Google Drive, Dropbox or WeTransfer).
- Each guest takes a selfie and finds their photos, downloading them one by one or as a ZIP.
How much does a shared photo album cost?
There are free shared albums (Google Photos, WedShoots) and QR-code albums from about €29 per event. CéSAR Photo has a free plan to try (1 event, 100 photos, 30 days) then CéSAR One at 49 € per event: 5,000 photos, 20 GB, 12 months of storage, selfie search included, no subscription. See the pricing page and the detailed app comparison.
How do you avoid 500 loose photos on WhatsApp after the wedding?
Replace the chat group with a dedicated album: photos are kept in one place, in original quality, and everyone finds theirs with a selfie. The WhatsApp group stays useful for conversation, not for the archive.
Frequently asked questions
Which shared photo album should I choose for a wedding?
For a small circle already on Google, a Google Photos album is enough. As soon as guests are many or the photographer delivers hundreds of photos, choose a face-recognition album such as CéSAR Photo: QR code, no app, everyone finds their photos with a selfie.
How do I collect the photos guests took at a wedding?
Place a QR code on the tables that opens a shared album in the browser: guests add their photos in seconds, with no app or account.
Do guests have to install an app?
No. With CéSAR Photo everything happens in the phone's browser, from a QR code or a link.
Are photos kept in original quality?
Yes: the album keeps the imported photos and lets people download them, including as a ZIP. iPhone (HEIC) and RAW formats are accepted.
How long does the album stay online?
30 days on the free plan, 12 months with CéSAR One. The organizer can delete it at any time.
