Let's fix that.
Guests scan a QR code, and their photos land straight in your Google Photos or OneDrive — no app, no accounts, no "hey, can you text me that one?" for the next six months.
Request an invitePicMeUp is invite only, for private events. Your photos go to your own account. We never store them.
Because a good photo is a pick-me-up.
You already know this. Someone shows you a picture from a night you'd half-forgotten, and the whole room gets a little warmer. That's not a small thing — that's the good stuff. Photos are how we hand happiness back and forth.
The trouble is that the best shots of your day are scattered across sixty phones, and most of them die there. Nobody means to keep them from you. They just… forget, because the photo already did its job in the group chat.
PicMeUp exists to catch those before they vanish — so the memories worth treasuring end up somewhere you'll actually find them in ten years.
Built for weddings, but just as happy at birthdays, reunions, retirement parties, and that milestone anniversary where Aunt Carol takes exclusively blurry photos of the ceiling.
Guests scan a QR code, type their name once, and send photos and videos straight from their phone. No app to download, no account to create, grandparent-tested.
Everything lands at full quality in an album or folder you own. No exporting, no downloading a giant zip, no third-party gallery that vanishes when someone stops paying for it.
Put it on the projector or TV. Photos fade in about twenty seconds after they're taken. Pause, skip forward and back, and set how long each photo holds. Watching their own picture hit the big screen is what makes guests keep shooting.
Guests can leave a written memory or a bit of unsolicited marriage advice. Read them all later, put them on a second screen during the event, or mix them into the slideshow between photos.
Switch it on and guests can ask the DJ for a song from their phone — with proper song search, so you get the real track and not a karaoke cover. Your DJ gets their own screen to approve, order, and ignore. Nobody has to shout over the speakers.
One click emails you every message your guests wrote, with names and timestamps — yours to keep long after the event page is gone.
Uploading is one-way by design. Nobody gets to scroll your album, and nobody sees anyone else's photos. If a guest wants copies, they tap "request access" and you approve with one tap in an email.
Both the slideshow and the guestbook display sit behind an unguessable link and a PIN. If a link ever leaks, regenerate it and the old one dies instantly.
We generate print-ready QR codes for your table cards and email them to you the moment the event is created. Drop them into Canva, done.
Add co-organizers so your wedding planner, best friend, or that cousin who's "good with computers" can help run the day without borrowing your password.
About five minutes of setup, most of which is Google asking if you're sure.
Name it, add the date, and choose where the photos should land — Google Photos or OneDrive.
One approval screen, one click, and your album exists.
They're generated for you and emailed over. Table cards, welcome sign, wherever.
Photos stream into your album and onto the screen. Messages collect in your guestbook. You do nothing but be in the pictures.
Pick whichever you already use. Photos land in an album or folder in an account you control, at full quality, and keep working exactly the same whether or not this site sticks around. Google gives you 15 GB free across your account; OneDrive gives 5 GB unless you have Microsoft 365. Google Photos is a trademark of Google LLC; OneDrive is a trademark of Microsoft Corporation. PicMeUp is an independent project and isn't affiliated with or endorsed by either.
This part isn't marketing copy — it's how the thing is actually built.
PicMeUp isn't open to the public. Organizer accounts are created by invitation, for private events.
If you've been invited, log in and your account is already waiting. If you haven't, ask for an invite and tell us a little about your event.
Your guests never need an invite, an account, or an app — they scan the QR code and upload. The invitation is only for whoever runs the event.
Every invited event gets all of it:
The whole goal: one less thing to stress about on a day with plenty of competition for that title. Less fuss, more smiles, and a pile of memories you didn't have to chase down afterward.
Got an idea that would make it better? Send it over — we read every one.
Set it up tonight. Thank yourself at the reception.
