How to preserve original-quality guest photos
A photo can look fine on a phone preview while lacking the resolution or metadata needed for a large print.
The short answer
Collect the original file through a direct upload, retain the first export and create smaller copies only for sharing.
Avoid screenshot collection
Screenshots reduce resolution, flatten edits and discard useful camera information. Ask for the source image from the camera roll.
Do not send the master through chat
Messaging apps may resize or recompress media depending on settings. Share gallery links, not repeated copies of the files.
Check dimensions before printing
Pixel dimensions and crop matter more than the vague label ‘high resolution.’ Ask the printer for target requirements.

No. With The Wedding Pics, guests scan a QR code or open a private link and upload from the browser. They do not create an account.
Can the couple review photos before guests see them?
Yes. Gallery visibility and moderation are controlled by the couple, so new uploads can be reviewed before they appear publicly or in a slideshow.
Can we download the original files?
Yes. Couples can download individual originals or prepare a whole-album ZIP export during the storage period included with their plan.
