Sponsor Logo Photo Overlay for Events
Poolr by MRVL lets event hosts add custom photo overlays, including sponsor logos and branded frames, to every guest photo collected at your event. The custom event frame feature is available on the Occasion tier and above, turning every snapshot into a branded keepsake.
What Is a Custom Event Frame Overlay
A custom event frame overlay is a branded border or watermark applied to photos taken or uploaded at your event. It typically includes your event name, date, sponsor logos, or branding elements. In Poolr, hosts can create a custom frame that appears on every photo in the shared album, creating visual consistency and reinforcing event branding without requiring guests to edit individual images. This is particularly useful for weddings, corporate events, and sponsored gatherings where brand visibility matters.
How Poolr's Custom Frame Feature Works
Once your event is set up on Occasion tier or higher, you can upload a custom frame design to overlay on all guest photos. Guests scan your event QR code, upload photos from their phone browser with no app or account needed, and the frame applies automatically to each image in the shared gallery. The full-resolution original remains intact for download, while the framed version appears in the live photo wall display and shared album. This keeps your event branding consistent across all content without adding friction to the guest experience.
Best Practices for Sponsor Logos in Event Photos
Place sponsor logos in the corner or edge of your custom frame design rather than the centre, so they don't obscure the main subject. Keep logos small and use transparent backgrounds to maintain photo quality. If you have multiple sponsors, consider a rotating frame or a footer bar. Test your frame design with a sample photo before your event to ensure logos are visible on mobile screens and in printed copies. Poolr's frame applies to every uploaded photo, so consistency is automatic once you upload your design.
Event Tiers and Frame Features
The custom event frame overlay is included in Occasion (£19.99 per event, unlimited photos) and Forever (£34.99, 2 years retention plus AI features). The Free and Moment tiers do not include custom frames. For venues, wedding planners, or teams running multiple events, the Pro Organiser (£9.99 monthly or £89.99 annually) and Teams (£79 monthly or £699 annually) subscriptions let you create frame templates once and reuse them across events. This saves time if you run branded events regularly.
Alternative Approaches to Sponsor Branding
If custom frame overlays don't fit your needs, consider using Poolr's live photo wall display (Occasion+ feature) to showcase photos on an event screen with a branded backdrop or banner behind it. You can also download the bulk ZIP of all photos after the event and apply sponsor branding in bulk using a photo editor before sharing with partners. Poolr handles the collection and organisation; the frame overlay simply automates branding at the source.

Frequently asked questions
Can I add multiple sponsor logos to a custom frame in Poolr
Yes. You design the custom frame image yourself and upload it to Poolr; you can include as many sponsor logos as your design allows. Keep them small and positioned to avoid obscuring guest photos.
Does the custom frame overlay reduce photo quality in Poolr
No. Poolr stores full-resolution originals. The frame is a visual overlay in the gallery view, and the underlying photo remains uncompressed for download and printing.
Which Poolr tier includes custom event frames
Custom frames are included in Occasion (£19.99 per event) and Forever (£34.99 per event). Free and Moment tiers do not include this feature.
Can I change the custom frame after guests have uploaded photos
Yes, you can update the frame at any time. All photos in the gallery will display the new frame, though the originals remain unchanged.
What file format should I use for a custom frame design in Poolr
Poolr accepts PNG and JPG formats. Use PNG with transparency if you want only the branded elements to appear without a solid background obscuring the photo.
Can I use custom frames with the live photo wall display
Yes. Photos displayed on the live photo wall (Occasion+ feature) will show your custom frame, making your event branding visible in real-time on the event screen.
