WedShoots is free and well rated. Every guest also has to install it. Here is what that trade looks like next to a QR code that opens in the browser.
The review reads WedShoots on its own site, its terms and both app stores. The head to head puts the two apps on the same lines: price, guest steps, videos and how long the photos stay online.
FROM A GUEST
WedShoots is a good free pick if guests will install an app: 4.7 stars from 75,794 App Store ratings in France and 4.5 on Google Play. The catches are the app and album code, no published storage window and no US App Store listing. Pix Wedding skips the app: 20 uploads free, then from $44 once.
Where a WedShoots guest opens an app store, a Pix Wedding guest points the camera at the table card. The upload page opens in the browser and the photo lands in the shared album.

Four steps from album to upload, read on wedshoots.com and the Mariages.net album page on October 29, 2026. The ratings are the stores’ own averages from the same day.
On the WedShoots site, or in France from the Mariages.net site or app. Creating it gives you an album code.
By email, on Facebook, printed on the invitations, or as a QR code. The guest still opens that code inside the app.
From the App Store or Google Play. The iPhone download is about 53 MB and needs iOS 13 or later.
They find the wedding or type the code, then add photos, filters, comments and likes. The couple downloads the album in high resolution.
Version 3.8.1 came out on October 1, 2026, and the Android app was updated on October 20, 2026. The app is maintained. It just has no listing on the US App Store.
The lines that decide how many guests share and what happens to the photos later. WedShoots wins on price; the other lines are where couples start to compare.
Guests scan one QR code and upload original-quality photos and videos in the browser. Storage is stated on every plan, with a ZIP download of every file.

WedShoots checked October 29, 2026 on its site, its terms, Mariages.net, WeddingWire and both app stores. Pix Wedding figures are from its plan list.
If the left column covers your wedding, stop reading and use WedShoots. If the right column worries you, the rest of the page is for you.
The French site closes its feature list with "Et tout ça gratuitement" and Mariages.net says there is no limit on guests. Nothing to buy.
4.7 stars from 75,794 App Store ratings in France and 4.5 from 92.3K reviews on Google Play. Couples who used it mostly liked it.
The feature list includes showing the photos on a projector at the venue. Pix Wedding keeps its live slideshow for the $54 plan.
Filters, comments and likes turn the album into a feed guests scroll during the evening.
Switch the album on or off, delete it, block a guest, and download everything in high resolution.
No app, no upload. Each guest installs WedShoots, finds the wedding and types the code. Guests who skip that step never share.
The iTunes lookup returns the app in France, the UK, Spain and Canada, but nothing for the US store. US iPhone guests may not find it.
Neither the site, the terms nor the store pages say how long an album stays online. Download it soon after the wedding.
WeddingWire’s WedShoots page mentions photos and videos; the French site and both store descriptions only talk about photos. Test one first.
The French terms call the app free, and add that some features may move to a paid version later, with users told first.
A short from a creator who used WedShoots to pull a wedding’s guest photos into one album. It shows the part WedShoots does best: a shared feed that fills up during the party.
What it does not show is the step before, when each guest finds the app in the store and types the album code. Picture your least techy guest doing that. If it looks fine for your crowd, WedShoots costs nothing.

WedShoots pricing is short: there is none. The question is whether one payment for no app and a stated storage window is worth it to you.
Album, unlimited guest uploads, filters, comments, the projector view and the high-resolution download, all free. The French terms say some features may move to a paid version later, with users told before.
What you give up: the app step for guests and any promise on how long the album stays online.
20 guest uploads free with no card, then one payment per wedding: Starter $44 (6 months online), Standard $54 (1 year, live slideshow, audio guestbook) or Pro $84 (2 years, AI selfie search). No subscription.
Safety net: a full refund if the event collects no guest uploads, asked for within 30 days after the date (refund policy).
Start with 20 free guest uploads and no card. Every paid plan covers unlimited guests, photos and videos for one payment; pick by upload window and storage.

Find the line that sounds like you. Two of them point to WedShoots.
It costs nothing, and it is well rated. If your guests do not mind an app, the free choice is a good one.
Filters, comments and likes live inside the app. Pix Wedding is built around uploading, not a feed.
WedShoots has no US App Store listing on the lookup. A browser upload works on any iPhone in any country.
One scan with the phone camera opens the upload page. No store, no account, no code to type.
One year online with a ZIP of every file, plus a live slideshow, an audio guestbook and up to 6 sub-albums.
Every plan takes videos up to 100 MB each, in original quality. WedShoots only names videos on its WeddingWire page.
We tried doing an Instagram hashtag first. Got about 12 posts, half of them from people we don't know. Pix got us 460 actual photos from our guests. Not even a comparison
Put QR codes in the loos. Sounds mad but that's where half the best photos came from. Getting ready selfies, bridesmaid mirror pics, the lot. My photographer had no access to any of that and now it's all in the album
Super simple à utiliser, même pour ma grand-mère. She scanned the code and uploaded 40 photos without asking anyone for help. The one-time payment was a big selling point for us, pas d'abonnement, just pay and it's done
Already shared a WedShoots code? Switching takes an evening. Save first, then move.
If guests already uploaded, download the whole album in high resolution before you change anything.
Start a free album, scan its QR code on an iPhone and an Android phone, and upload one photo and one video.
Replace the album code on your cards with the new QR code, for example with the free QR sticker designer.
Send the new link to everyone who installed WedShoots, so late photos land in the new album.
Once everything is saved, deactivate the WedShoots album so nobody keeps uploading there.

Still researching? Here is how Pix Wedding stacks up against the other major wedding photo sharing platforms.
Every WedShoots fact on this page comes from its own French site and terms of use, the Mariages.net and WeddingWire pages that present it, the Google Play listing and the App Store data for France, the UK, Spain, Canada and the US, all read on October 29, 2026. Nothing here is sponsored and there are no affiliate links.
The ratings are the stores’ own averages. They move every week, so treat them as a snapshot of late October 2026.
WedShoots comes from Bodas.net, the Spanish wedding site, and appears as "WedShoots by Mariages.net" in France and "WedShoots by WeddingWire" in the Google Play description. Bodas.net belongs to The Knot Worldwide, which lists the Android app as its developer. On the App Store the seller is Wedding Planner S.L.
In Italy, WedShoots comes through Matrimonio.com, and the Italian guide compares it with four alternative a WedShoots.

Straight answers to the questions people ask most about this topic.
Yes. WedShoots has no paid plan: creating the album, guest uploads, the projector view and the high-resolution download are all free, and Mariages.net lists no guest limit. Its French terms add that some features may move to a paid version later. Checked October 29, 2026.
For a free app, yes. It holds 4.7 stars from 75,794 App Store ratings in France, 4.8 in the UK and 4.5 from 92.3K Google Play reviews, and it was updated in October 2026. The trade-offs are the app install for every guest, no stated storage window and no US App Store listing.
Guests need the app. The couple can create the album on the WedShoots site, but the album code opens the album from a smartphone, and every guest installs WedShoots to upload. Pix Wedding works the other way: guests scan a QR code and upload in the phone browser.
Not on October 29, 2026. The App Store lookup returns WedShoots in France, the UK, Spain and Canada, but no result for the US store. On Android it is on Google Play with over 5 million downloads.
WeddingWire’s WedShoots page mentions downloading photos and videos, while the French site and both store descriptions only mention photos, so test a video before the wedding. No storage window is published anywhere. Pix Wedding states it per plan: 6 months, 1 year or 2 years, each with a ZIP download.
Pick WedShoots if the budget is zero and your guests are happy to install an app. Pick Pix Wedding if guests should upload with one QR scan and no app, if many guests are in the US, or if you want a stated storage window: 20 uploads free, then $44, $54 or $84 once.
