Photos stay with the school
Files go into the Google Drive or Dropbox you connect. LazyAlbum never keeps a copy.
For teachers, classes and school events
Your class photo album. Free for teachers.
Excursions, camps, sports days and the end-of-year party. Share one QR code with staff and parents and every photo lands in a folder in your school's Google Drive or Dropbox, ready for the newsletter, the yearbook or the class slideshow.
Free photo & video collection. No app for guests.
You choose what's shared
Uploads go to your folder, not a public page. Nothing is shown to anyone until you share it.
Easy for parent helpers
No app or account. Helpers scan the QR code and send photos straight from their phone.

Questions
Good questions, easy answers
Is it really free for teachers?
Yes. Collecting photos and videos is free for everyone. For teachers the upgrade is free as well: just send us a message with your school and class, and we'll upgrade your event.
Where are the photos stored?
In the Google Drive or Dropbox you connect, such as your school's account. LazyAlbum never keeps a copy of anyone's files.
Can parents see the photos other people upload?
Not unless you choose to share them. Uploads go straight to your folder. With the free teacher upgrade, you can approve photos before they appear in a shared gallery.
Do I need permission to collect photos of students?
Follow your school's photo and media policy, as you would for any class photos. Many schools ask that only students with photo consent are shared beyond the class.
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.
