One shared camera for your event.
Make an event, share the code, and everyone photographing it is shooting into the same album. Guests do not need an account. Nothing is posted anywhere public. When the event ends, the album closes — and you keep every photo.
Free for up to 18 guests and 48 hours. Pro is for longer events and bigger guest lists.
Three steps, and nobody has to chase photos afterwards.
1 Make the event
Name it, set how long it runs (from 8 hours to a month) and how many people can join. Put the QR code on the table or send the invite link.
2 Share the code
Guests scan the QR code or tap your link. No account to create, no password to remember — they are in the album and shooting.
3 Keep every snap
Everything anyone took lands in one place. Save what you like, share the web gallery, make a recap video, or download the lot as a zip.
Why eighteen? Like a disposable camera on the table — without the plastic.
Each guest starts with a roll of 18 snaps. Enough to capture the night from their side of the room, scarce enough that people take photos worth keeping instead of forty identical burst shots. And if your best photographer runs out early, a Pro host can hand them another roll.
The photos everyone took, in one place.
Photos and videos as they happen
Every guest's snaps land in the same album the moment they are taken. No group chat, no AirDrop circle, no "can you send me that one" a week later.
Share from your normal camera roll
Took a photo with the regular phone camera out of habit? Send it straight into the event from the iOS or Android Share sheet without opening the app.
It ends when the event ends
An event runs for the hours or days you set, then closes. It is a camera for an occasion, not another social feed to keep up with.
A web gallery for people at home
Share a browser link so grandparents or friends who could not make it can watch the event fill up without installing anything.
Recap videos made on your phone
Turn an ended event's best snaps into a short video set to music. It renders right on your device — nothing is sent to a third-party service.
Your photos come home
Save snaps to your phone or download the whole album. Even if you forget after the party, we email you a zip of everything before the archive expires.
Free is a real plan. Pro is for bigger days.

The ones worth answering.
Do my guests need the app or an account?
Guests do not need to create an account or enter an email address. To shoot into the album, they scan your QR code or tap your invite link to open the event in Snap Eighteen. To view the photos, they do not even need the app — the web gallery link opens in any browser.
What if someone takes photos with their regular camera app?
They can still add them. Snap Eighteen adds itself to the iOS and Android Share sheet, so anyone in the event can pick photos from their camera roll and send them straight to the event album in two taps.
Is any of this public?
No. An album is visible only to the people in that event and to anyone you choose to send the web gallery link to. There is no public feed, no followers, no ads and no discovery.
What happens to the photos when the event ends?
Shooting stops when the timer runs out, and the album stays in your history — 30 days on a free account, 90 days on Pro. Before it is removed from our servers, we email a zip of every photo and video to the address on your profile. You can also save snaps to your phone at any time.
Do my guests have to pay for Pro?
No. Only the person hosting the event upgrades if they want a longer timer, more than 18 guests, printable table flyers or recap videos. Joining and shooting as a guest is always free.
How do I delete my account?
In the app: open Settings, then tap Delete account. That removes the account, its events and their media. You can also email support@snapeighteen.com and we will do it for you.
