Upload galleries collect photos. Snova takes them.
QR photo sharing apps — QRPict, SnapSharer, Wedbox and the rest — all work the same way: guests take photos with their own camera app, then upload them afterwards. Snova works differently: the QR code opens a camera, so every photo is captured with your event's look and lands in your gallery the moment it's taken.
A camera, not a form
Guests shoot in the browser with your filters and frames already on screen.
Safer by design
Automatic screening on every plan, with guest identity, PIN locks and venue controls from Celebration.
Yours to keep and publish
Export on every plan; create magazines and finished social assets on Signature and Pro Event.

Where the others genuinely lead
To be straight with you: some rivals ship guestbooks, audio messages and live streaming. Those are on the Snova roadmap — but we'd rather be the best camera for your event than a patchwork of everything.
