After the wedding
Recover your wedding photos taken by your guests
Your guests took dozens of photos and videos you've never seen. Here's how to recover all of them, even days after the wedding.
The photographer captures the key moments, but it's often the guests who catch the most spontaneous ones: a laugh at the table, an impromptu dance, a speech seen from another angle. The problem is that these photos stay stuck on their phones, scattered across dozens of camera rolls, until someone finally thinks to share them.
Ways to recover your guests' photos
Every option has its limits. Here's an honest comparison of the most common ones.
| Solution | What to know |
|---|---|
| WhatsApp group | Quick to share, but WhatsApp heavily compresses photos and especially videos sent in a group, and the chat quickly gets buried under messages. |
| Shared Google Photos album | Keeps good quality, but requires every guest to have or create a Google account and actively join the shared album. |
| Shared iCloud album | Works well between Apple users, but the link must be created by someone with an iCloud account, and adding content from Android guests stays limited. |
| WeTransfer link | Handy for a one-off transfer from a single person, but not well suited to centralizing contributions from dozens of guests, and the link expires after a few days. |
| Grappil collection link | One single link to send to all your guests after the wedding: they drop their photos and videos in original quality, with no account, straight from their browser. |
It works even if the wedding is already over
Didn't have time to set up a QR code on the day? Create your Grappil collection now and send the link by text or message to your guests: they can drop their photos and videos afterward, just as easily as on the day itself.
Videos and RAW files in original quality
Files uploaded to Grappil are never compressed: your videos keep their HD or 4K quality, and RAW files sent by amateur photographer guests are kept exactly as they are. HEIC photos display automatically in the gallery.
