Instant Photo Display Event Wall System
Poolr by MRVL is an event photo display system that collects every guest's photos via QR code and shows them live on a screen at your gathering. Guests upload in seconds with no app download or account needed; photos appear on your event wall instantly as they arrive.
How the Live Photo Wall Works
The live event wall display is part of Poolr's Occasion+ tier. You print or display a QR code at your event. Guests scan it on their phone, select photos from their camera roll, and upload them via the browser. Each photo appears on a connected screen in real time, creating a dynamic, shared experience. The wall refreshes instantly as new uploads arrive, so guests see their photos appear within seconds. There's no need for a separate projector setup or complex installation. You connect any device (tablet, monitor, TV) to Poolr's live display mode and the wall runs for the duration of your event.
Photo Moderation and Control
Poolr includes a live moderation queue so the host can approve photos before they appear on the event wall. This means you can filter out blurry shots, accidental uploads, or unwanted content in real time. Once approved, photos jump straight to the display screen. You're in complete control of what guests see, and the moderation process is fast enough not to create a noticeable lag. The system also supports a reveal mode (like a disposable camera) where photos stay hidden until the event ends, then all are unveiled at once.
Guest Upload Experience
Guests don't download an app or create an account. They scan the QR code, open the link in their phone's browser, and select photos from their phone. The process takes about 10 seconds per photo. Multiple guests can upload simultaneously, and Poolr handles the traffic without slowdown. Videos are also supported, so guests can upload both photos and video clips to the same pool. Full-resolution images are stored, not compressed, so every photo is gallery-quality when you view it later.
Beyond the Live Wall
After your event, the full photo gallery stays with you in Poolr. Higher tiers unlock features like automated photobook generation, audio guestbook (guests can record voice messages alongside photos), custom event frame overlays, face recognition, and highlight reels. The Forever tier includes a 2-year retention period and AI-powered features. For repeat hosts, the Host+ annual pass covers multiple events at a fixed price. Wedding planners and venues can use the Pro Organiser or Teams plans to run Poolr for clients.
Pricing for Event Walls
The Free tier (30 photos) and Moment tier (£8.99 for 200 photos) do not include the live wall display. The Occasion+ tier (£19.99) unlocks the full live photo wall, audio guestbook, photobook generation, and custom frames. Forever (£34.99) adds 2-year photo retention and AI features like face recognition. For hosts running multiple events, Host+ (£49.99 per year) is a subscription that covers unlimited events with access to all mid-tier features including the live wall. As of June 2026, these are the standard pricing options.
Technical Setup
Poolr works on iOS, Android, and web browsers. The live wall display runs in a browser on any connected device: a tablet, laptop, monitor, or smart TV. No special hardware is needed. You create your event pool in the Poolr app or web dashboard, generate the QR code, and launch the live wall mode on your display device. The system runs stably for multi-hour events. Guest uploads appear within seconds, and you can pause, refresh, or end the wall at any time without losing the photos.

Frequently asked questions
Can we use an iPad or tablet as the event wall display?
Yes. Any tablet or device with a web browser can display the live wall. Just open Poolr's live display mode in the browser and it will show incoming photos full-screen.
What happens if guests don't have much phone storage?
Guests select photos they've already taken on their phone. Poolr uploads them to the cloud, so their device storage is not affected. They only need enough space to browse their camera roll.
Can we moderate photos before they appear on the wall?
Yes. The moderation queue lets you approve or reject each photo in real time before it displays on the event wall screen.
Do guests need an account to upload photos?
No. Guests scan the QR code, open the browser link, and upload directly. No signup, no login, no app download required.
How long do the photos stay available after the event?
On the Free and Moment tiers, 7 days. On Occasion+ and above, they stay indefinitely. The Forever tier extends retention to 2 years with AI features.
Can we print a photobook from the live wall photos?
Yes. Occasion+ and above include automated photobook generation from your full event gallery, ready to order within days of the event.
