Yes. On Pix Wedding guests use the same QR code or link as for photos and upload videos up to 100MB per file and photos up to 30MB, in the phone browser with no app and no account. Files are stored in their original quality, with no compression.
The cap is per file, not per minute. At the iPhone default of 1080p 30 fps, 100MB holds about 57 to 86 seconds of video. A file over the cap is skipped with a notice, and everything else in the selection still uploads.

57 to 86 s
of 1080p 30 fps video fit in 100MB, from Apple’s per-minute figure
Sources: the limits come from the Pix Wedding guest upload page. Seconds per 100MB are computed from Apple’s figure of 70 to 105 MB for one minute at the default 1080p setting. Checked 3 October 2026.
Pick the camera setting and the length of the clip. The estimate uses published per-minute sizes, so it gives a range, because the same minute can be bigger or smaller depending on the phone, the codec and what is in the shot.
The iPhone default. Apple’s own range for one minute at the default camera setting.
35 to 53 MB
Even at the high end of the range, this clip stays under the 100MB cap.
Longest clip under 100MB at 1080p, 30 fps: about 57 sec to 1 min 26 sec.
Based on 70 to 105 MB per minute (Apple). Approximate: real size moves with the phone model, the codec and the scene.
1080p gives a guest far longer clips than 4K
Computed as 100MB divided by the per-minute size. 1080p 30 fps: Apple. The other settings are third-party measurements from HEVCut and VideoProc, from the efficient HEVC codec to the older H.264. Checked 3 October 2026.
1080p
It is the iPhone default, it looks sharp on a phone and a TV, and it gives a guest close to a minute per clip. Short clips on 1080p, sent over Wi-Fi, are the simplest advice you can put on a sign.
Each limit below comes from the company’s own help or pricing page, read on 3 October 2026. Where a page does not say, the table says so instead of guessing. Rose chips mark the cell that usually decides against an option for a mixed wedding crowd.
Photos and videos through one QR code, stored as uploaded. The 100MB cap per video is lower than some options here, so it suits clips, not a full ceremony recording.

Where the 100MB cap is the wrong tool
A full ceremony or a ten-minute speech filmed by one guest will not fit in 100MB at any normal setting. For that, use a videographer, or have one person upload the long file to a Google Drive folder, which takes files up to 5 TB. Our guide to a cheap alternative to a wedding videographer covers the options.
What changed with iOS 27
Apple says Shared Albums created in version 27 keep full resolution and let friends contribute on the web without an Apple Account. In albums from version 26 or earlier, video is delivered at up to 720p and photos are reduced to 2,048 pixels.

This is the real flow on the Pix Wedding upload page, from the QR code on the table to the thank-you screen. It is the same for photos or videos, on an iPhone or an Android phone.
The phone camera opens the couple’s upload page in the browser. There is nothing to install and no account to make, on iPhone or Android.
One button for both. The page takes photos and videos together, so guests never have to look for a separate video option.
Gallery opens the clips already on the phone. Camera opens a live camera with a Photo and Video switch that records clips up to 60 seconds.
The name tells the couple who filmed the first dance from the second row. The note is optional.
Videos take longest. If a file fails, Tap to retry sends it again, and the page re-sends on its own when the connection comes back.
Thank you! means the files are in the album. Upload more starts another round, for the clips filmed after dessert.

The couple’s side is just as short: create the album, print the QR code and put it on the tables. The QR code for wedding pictures guide covers where to put it so people scan it.
The upload page checks each file on the guest’s phone before sending it. A video over 100MB, or a photo over 30MB, is skipped with a "file too large" notice that names the file and its size. Everything else in the selection keeps uploading.
Pix Wedding does not shrink, compress or trim the file for the guest. That is on purpose, since the couple gets the original, but it means the fix happens on the phone.
Apple’s own advice for a video that is too large is to trim it. Cut the long intro and the bit where the phone was pointing at the floor, then upload the shorter version.
Apple suggests exporting at a lower resolution in iMovie. At 720p, Apple lists 19 to 27 MB a minute, so about 3.7 to 5.3 minutes fit in 100MB.
Apple’s advice for smaller files: stay at 1080p or lower, turn off HDR Video and keep High Efficiency selected. Do it before the ceremony, not in the middle of the toast.
Trimming, the iMovie export and the camera settings are from Apple’s guide to compressing a video on iPhone, which also needs iMovie for the export route. On Android, the setting names vary by brand: look for video size or resolution in the camera settings. Checked 3 October 2026.
Toast part 1.MOV48 MBConga line.MOV33 MBIMG_5521.HEIC2.9 MBGuests do not need to know any of this. The couple, or whoever answers the "why did my video not go through" text, might.
Apple says HEVC gives better compression than H.264 at the same visual quality. On an iPhone that is the High Efficiency setting. Most Compatible records H.264, with bigger files.
iPhone clips usually arrive as .MOV, many Android clips as .MP4. The upload page takes both, along with the MP4 or WebM file its own camera records, depending on the browser.
Apple says ProRes files are up to 30 times larger than HEVC. On a Pro iPhone with ProRes on, a few seconds can pass 100MB. Leave it to the videographer.
A Live Photo records 1.5 seconds before and after the shot. Shared outside Apple’s apps it often travels as the still image. Turn it into a video on the iPhone first to keep the motion.
Why High Efficiency gives guests longer clips
Brant Moore looks at the HEVC codec on iPhone and Apple’s promise of half the space at the same quality. Under a 100MB cap, a smaller file per minute is the difference between a clip that fits and one that gets skipped.
Watch on YouTubeGuests assume a photo QR code is for photos. Say the word video, give one hint about length, and repeat the link the morning after.
The morning text matters most for video. Venue Wi-Fi often struggles once the room is full, so many clips go up from the hotel that night or the next day, and the upload page retries failed files on its own.
Short is the hint that matters. A full toast runs past the cap: three minutes at 1080p 30 fps is about 210 to 315 MB, so ask guests for the best line, not the whole speech.

Quick answers on the file size limit, clip length, 4K, Live Photos, storage and what to put on the sign.
Yes. On Pix Wedding one QR code opens one upload page that takes photos and videos together, in the phone browser with no app and no account. Guests pick clips from their gallery or record in the page camera, which stops at 60 seconds. Videos can be up to 100MB per file and photos up to 30MB.
Yes, 100MB per video and 30MB per photo on Pix Wedding, on every plan. A larger file is skipped with a "file too large" notice and the rest of the selection keeps uploading. Pix Wedding does not compress or trim anything, so an oversized clip has to be trimmed or exported smaller on the phone first.
Most apps cap the file size, not the minutes, so the length depends on the camera setting. At the iPhone default of 1080p 30 fps, 100MB holds about 57 to 86 seconds by Apple’s per-minute figure, and at 4K 60 fps closer to 15 to 27 seconds. Apple’s older shared albums cap videos at 15 minutes, and GuestCam lists 9.8GB per video file.
Yes, in the same upload and into the same album. A guest can select a mix of photos and clips at once, and the album has a filter for videos. Paid plans include unlimited photos and videos, with no separate price for video.
On Pix Wedding, yes, as long as the file is under 100MB: files are stored as uploaded, with no compression. The catch is size, since 4K fills 100MB in roughly 15 to 54 seconds depending on frame rate and codec, so 1080p is the better setting for guests. Apple’s older shared albums deliver video at up to 720p, and Google Photos Storage saver resizes video above 1080p.
Because a Live Photo is a still photo plus 1.5 seconds of motion before and after it, and most places outside Apple’s apps keep only the still. Apple says a Live Photo sent by Mail arrives as a still image. To keep the motion, turn the Live Photo into a video on the iPhone first, then upload that video.
A few gigabytes. As an illustration, 25 guests filming three 30-second clips each at 1080p 30 fps comes to about 2.6 to 3.9 GB, using Apple’s 70 to 105 MB a minute. A free Google Account has 15 GB shared with Gmail and Drive, so it fills fast. Pix Wedding paid plans include unlimited photos and videos, so there is no storage to plan.
Say videos out loud: "Scan to share your photos and videos" works better than "Share your photos". Add "No app, no sign-up" and one hint about length, such as "Short clips work best, under a minute each". Repeat the link in a text the morning after, because many clips get uploaded once guests are back on Wi-Fi.
