Choosing the event's visibility mode

Updated July 23, 2026

There are three modes.

Selfie searchEach guest sees their photosOpen galleryEveryone sees everythingMixedThe guest's choice
  • Selfie search: each guest only sees the photos their face appears in. It's the most private mode, and the default for private events like weddings, birthdays and company parties.
  • Open gallery: everyone sees every photo, no selfie needed. It suits public events like races, concerts, trade shows and conferences, and any case where the photos aren't tied to individuals.
  • Mixed: both paths are open. Each guest chooses to search for their photos or browse the whole gallery.

Good to know: you can change the mode after you've created the event. Any link or QR code you've already handed out still works.
