Collect Company Event Photos with a Clear Plan for Sharing

Employees scan a QR code and upload photos from their browser. No app downloads or guest accounts required.

Give employees a clear invitation: what to photograph, who will see it, and when uploads close. Enable approval before public display, assign a reviewer, and keep confidential screens, documents, and badges out of photos.

No app required • No credit card required • Host-controlled visibility

Employees at a company event capturing moments during a team celebration

Set up company photo collection with your assistant. Confirm the account, privacy settings and upload timing before saving.

How It Works

Set up your event in minutes. Employees upload with a QR code scan. You review, organize, and download everything when the event ends.

01

Create Your Event

Set your brand colors and write a welcome message. Choose your upload window and require approval before public display.

02

Share the QR Code

Print it on table tents, display it at check in, or send it via email. Employees scan to access the upload page instantly.

03

Employees Upload

Employees upload in their browser. Optional consent, email verification, or required guest-data fields add steps before they can contribute.

04

Review and Download

Approve or hide uploads before they go live. Tag photos by moment (keynote, team dinner). Download filtered bundles or everything as one ZIP.

Why HR Teams and Event Planners Choose Gather Shot

Make participation optional and practical. Ask for a few specific moments, share the upload deadline, and give employees a contact for questions or removal requests.

Browser-Based Uploads
No app installation required. Test uploads on a managed device and your event network first. Company browser, VPN, and firewall policies still apply.
Set Your Guest Upload Requirements
Invite a table photo, a room detail, or an opt-in team portrait. Employees can skip the activity. If your event needs consent, enable custom terms and verified email. Ask only for guest details you need.
Approve Before It Goes Live
Require approval before uploads appear in the public gallery. Review photos for company standards and the intended audience before sharing.
Control Shared Gallery Visibility
Public Gallery is enabled by default. Disable it to hide the shared gallery; guests can still see their own uploads, including pending ones. People with the gallery link can forward it. Keep confidential material out of uploads.
Download Original Files for Newsletters
Download full-resolution photos and videos for employee communications. Check permissions separately before using a photo on LinkedIn, your company blog, or recruiting materials.
Invite Your Team to Help Moderate
Running a multi day conference? Invite co-hosts to help review uploads, respond to guests, and manage settings. Assign roles to control who can change what.

Pricing Built for Corporate Budgets

Pay once per event. Choose capacity for expected photo and video uploads, not just headcount. For example, 100 employees sharing 10 files each would use all 1,000 Basic uploads.

Common Questions About Corporate Event Photo Collection

Do employees need to download an app?
No app or guest account is required. Employees scan your QR code or tap a link to upload in their browser. Host-enabled consent requires acceptance and email verification. Required guest-data fields must also be completed before uploading.
Will this work on our company managed phones and laptops?
Gather Shot runs in the browser, but your IT policies may restrict websites or file uploads. Test the QR code, direct link, and a sample upload on a managed device using the event network or VPN. Ask IT to resolve restrictions before the event.
Can I review uploads before they appear in the gallery?
Yes. Uploads are auto-approved by default, so enable approval before employees contribute if you want a review step. Use the dashboard to approve, hide, or delete uploads. Guests can still see their own pending uploads. Only approved uploads appear in an enabled public gallery.
How long do you store our event photos?
1 year of storage is included with all plans. You can extend retention by purchasing additional years. Download everything as a ZIP file at any time.
Can we use this for a multi day conference with multiple sessions?
Yes, multi-day events are supported. Use custom tags to organize uploads by session. The Pro plan supports up to 5,000 uploads and lets you invite up to 9 co-hosts to help moderate.
What if we want to gamify the event with a photo challenge?
Hunts are included in Pro and the free trial, or available as a Basic add-on. We recommend 10 to 15 prompts for a short activity. Gather Shot tracks individual completion and groups responses by prompt. You organize teams, score entries, and choose winners manually.
How would we use this for a year-end holiday party?
For a December team dinner, use company colors and a welcome message explaining who will see the photos. Put QR codes on tables and invite a co-host to moderate. Offer optional prompts such as a table detail, a thank-you card, or an opt-in team portrait. Keep screens and badges out of frame. After the party, download a tagged recap bundle and review permissions for each intended use.
Can we show approved photos during awards or a team celebration?
Yes. Enable Public Gallery and open the slideshow URL on an internet-connected browser display. Require approval and assign a reviewer before guests upload. New approved photos are picked up about every 15 seconds, not instantly. Tell employees about the screen in advance, and keep photos out of the public gallery if that audience is not appropriate.
Does upload consent cover everyone pictured and every later use?
Do not assume it does. Gather Shot can record an uploader accepting your custom terms with a verified email, timestamp, and consent version. That record does not establish permission from everyone pictured. Your organization must decide what permissions it needs for event display, internal recaps, and external marketing.
Can we customize the event page with our company branding?
Yes, full customization is included. Choose your brand colors, add a welcome message, set a headline, and preview everything before publishing.
How do we get the photos after the event ends?
Download everything as a single ZIP file. Or create filtered bundles by tag or approval status. Every file is saved in original resolution, ready for newsletters and presentations.
