Frictionless Event Photo Collection with Poolr
Poolr by MRVL is an event photo collection app that gathers every guest's photos into one full-resolution shared album with zero friction. Guests scan a QR code, upload from their browser, no app download or account setup required.
Why friction matters in event photo collection
Traditional photo sharing fails at events because guests forget, can't find the app, or face signup walls. Poolr removes every barrier. The moment a guest scans the QR code, they're uploading. No confirmation emails, no password resets, no waiting for invites. As of 2026, event hosts still cite guest friction as the biggest reason photos go uncollected; Poolr solves this by making the upload faster than sending a text. Every photo arrives in full resolution, automatically organised in one place the host controls.
Enterprise features for professional event managers
For corporate events, venue managers, and professional event planners, Poolr offers Teams (£79 per month) to manage multiple events across a single organisation, with role-based access and bulk reporting. Pro Organiser (£9.99 per month or £89.99 per year) is built for wedding planners and venues running repeating events; it unlocks custom branding, photo moderation queues, and advanced download options. The live photo wall feature displays uploads in real time on an event screen, turning guest contributions into a dynamic visual experience during the event itself.
From collection to asset
Poolr goes beyond the upload. The Occasion tier (£19.99 per event) includes automated photobook generation, turning collected photos into printed albums without manual curation. Audio guestbook lets guests record voice messages alongside their photos. Custom event frame overlays brand each upload with logos or event themes. For longer-term needs, the Forever tier (£34.99) retains photos for two years and adds face recognition to auto-generate highlight reels, identifying key moments and people without manual tagging.
The Host+ subscription model
If you run multiple events, Host+ (£49.99 per year) provides a single pass across all your gatherings, removing per-event pricing friction. Combined with Poolr's web-only guest interface (no guest app installs), this positions the platform as genuinely enterprise-ready, not just consumer-facing. Corporate teams can embed Poolr into their event workflows alongside existing tools, since the guest experience is entirely browser-based.
What Poolr collection looks like in practice
Host generates a QR code and posts it at the event. Guests arrive, scan once, upload photos from their phone camera roll in seconds. Photos appear in the shared album in real time, moderated by the host if needed. By event end, hundreds of full-resolution photos are collected, deduplicated by Poolr's system, and ready for download as a bulk ZIP or printed as a photobook. No chasing, no followup emails, no lost photos.
