Questions about sharing event photos
Detailed answers on pricing, duration, moderation, photo booths and privacy.
Is there a trial period?
What are the prices?
How can I get more storage or displays?
At check out or during the event, you can add extras to your event. See the extras on the Pricing page.
During which timeframe can guests add pictures?
Guests can add pictures during the entire event.
By default an event lasts 7 days. You can reduce that period by manually ending the event which will trigger the sending of the pictures to you and your guests.
How long do I have to download the pictures?
Pictures will be available for download during 7 days after the event ended. After that they will be permanently deleted.
Can I download the photos during the event?
No — except for the administrator. Guests only get the photos after the event: the idea is that they enjoy the evening first.
Can I upload videos to the platform?
No. After an event, videos are in practice watched even less than photos, unless real editing has been done. EvePics does not offer video editing for now.
How much storage do I need?
The starter package should fit most of small family events like birthdays, christmases, etc. where in average 150 to 200 pictures are posted.
If required, you can add additional storage at any time during the event.
When your available storage drops below 10%, you will receive an email notification. This message will include details about your current storage usage rate, allowing you to adjust your storage space if needed.
Can I moderate picture that are uploaded?
Yes, you can.
We have 3 levels of moderation:
- Not moderated: pictures will appear directly on the display and be downloadable by default.
- Before sending: pictures will appear directly on the display, but they will have to be validated before being downloadable.
- Before displaying: pictures will have to be validated before appearing on the display and being downloadable.
Moderation has to be done manually by you, but it is quite fast and easy to do. You can moderate pictures until the event ends and 1 hour after the last picture was added or moderated.
The pictures have been sent to everyone, now what?
On the guest page, several download and save modes are available:
- ZIP: all photos, or only your selection.
- Save to the phone gallery / photo library (ideal on mobile).
- Add to Google Photos.
- Download or share photos one by one.
You have up until 7 days after the end of the event to download the pictures.
Can I have a photo booth send pictures to the platform?
Yes, you can. AutoUpload can watch a folder and upload new photos automatically to your guest page.
How to connect a photo booth or DSLR workflow using AutoUpload?
Show the guide
Hide the guide
AutoUpload is a small helper script that watches a folder on your computer and automatically uploads every new photo to your EvePics guest page, as if it came from a phone. You can use it with a photo booth, DSLR tethering software, or any system that saves pictures to a local folder.
1. Download the tools
Unzip the archive on the computer that runs your photo booth or receives the photos (for example a Mac, a Windows laptop, or a mini PC next to the booth). Inside the archive you will find one folder for macOS / Linux and one for Windows.
2. Prepare your event and guest URL
- Create your event on EvePics and open the administration panel.
- Copy the guest link from the administration panel. You will paste this URL in the AutoUpload script.
3. Configure the folder watched by AutoUpload
- In your photo booth / tethering software, choose or confirm the output folder where it saves the final photos for guests.
- Make sure this folder only receives the pictures you want to upload (final images, not intermediate or test files if possible).
4. Start AutoUpload on your computer
-
On macOS / Linux
Open the macOS / Linux folder, then run the script from a terminal (you may need to allow it to run the first time). The script will ask for:- the guest URL of your event
- the path to the folder to watch (the output folder of your photo booth / software)
- the name under which pictures are published (optional, can be left empty for anonymous)
-
On Windows
Open the Windows folder and double-click the launcher file. A PowerShell window will open and ask for the same information (guest URL, watched folder, and name).
5. Test and use during the event
- With AutoUpload running, drop a test photo into the watched folder. It should appear on your EvePics guest page within a few seconds.
- You can remove your test photo trough the moderation panel by rejecting it.
- During the event, keep the script window open. Every new image written to the watched folder will be uploaded automatically for you and your guests.
If you no longer want to upload automatically, simply close the AutoUpload window or stop the script; your photo booth or camera workflow continues to work as usual, but without sending new photos to the platform. You can always re-enable AutoUpload at any time your last entered parameters are saved in the temp folder next to the script, you won't have to enter them again except if they changed.
