Every photo from the formal. In one folder, for free.

The best photos from the night end up on 200 different phones. Put one QR code on the tables and every student, parent and teacher can drop their photos and videos into one shared folder in your Google Drive or Dropbox.

Free photo & video collection. No app for guests.

One code for the year group

Print it on the tables, add it to the ticket email or put it on the slideshow screen.

Full-quality photos and videos

No group chat squashing every photo. Originals go straight to the folder.

Nobody needs an account

Students, parents and staff just scan and share from their phone's browser.

How it works

Three little steps, then enjoy the day.

  1. 1

    Make the formal's folder

    Name the album and connect the formal committee's Google Drive or Dropbox. We make the folder.

  2. 2

    Put the QR code everywhere

    Table cards, the ticket email, the photo booth and the screen at the venue.

  3. 3

    Share the album after

    Everything lands in one folder, ready for the yearbook, the slideshow or a shared link.

Questions

Good questions, easy answers

Do guests need an app or an account?

No. They scan the QR code with their phone camera and upload in the browser. No download, no account, no password.

Who should set it up?

Whoever runs the formal: the committee, the year coordinator or a parent. Use a Google Drive or Dropbox the school or committee is happy to hold the photos in.

Can students see each other's photos?

By default, photos go straight to your folder and only you see them. You can share the folder afterwards, or add the optional shared gallery so everyone sees the photos as they arrive.

Is it the same thing as prom?

Yes. In Australia it's the formal, in the UK and the US it's prom, and in New Zealand it's the school ball. It all works the same way. See our page for prom.

Is it really free?

Yes. Connect Google Drive or Dropbox, name your album and you get your QR code. Guests can upload as many photos and videos as your storage holds, with no time limit.

Where do the photos go?

Straight into a folder in your own Google Drive or Dropbox. LazyAlbum never keeps a copy.
