Hi! We are in Alpha Stage of Launching PixShare! Event Photo Sharing

Built a small project called PixShare and wanted some honest feedback from people here.

The idea came from something I noticed at literally at every wedding/event or tech conf.

Everyone takes tons of photos and videos… but nobody actually shares them properly. I had to followup in my brothers wedding with my cousins to give pics and all.

People say “will airdrop and all ” and then:

  • photos get lost in WhatsApp
  • quality gets compressed
  • God forbid theres a android and ios guy
  • Google Drive links get ignored
  • AirDrop doesnt work with android and quickshare with ios
  • half the guests never upload anything

So I started building PixShare

The idea is simple:
Create an event → share a QR/code/link → guests upload directly from their phones.

Some things we’re building:

  • QR based joining
  • You can link to your own storage so all upload goes to your drive.
  • no app required for guests
  • signUp is optional
  • original quality uploads
  • shared gallery for all attendees
  • event-based photo organization and album creation
  • downloadable event albums
  • private/public event modes and others
  • collaborative albums for trips, college fests, weddings, concerts etc.
  • AI face grouping/tagging (planned)

Trying to make it feel more frictionless than “Make a GDrive Link and share with people”. Another prime idea we are working on is a background worker where it can run in background (maybe via a app or something and during the duration you are in the event geo location it will keep uploading the pics u take) (still debating based on privacy/security aspect)

The main target right now is weddings and events because that problem feels insanely common in India especially.

Would genuinely love feedback:

  • Does this solve a real enough problem?
  • What would stop you from using it?
  • Any features you’d expect?
  • Anything similar you’ve used that worked well?

PixShare.in is in Alpha Mode! Let me know how does it sound

Hey r/alphaandbetausers ,

I wanted to share a project I've been building called PixShare

The Pain Point: At almost every wedding or event, guests take hundreds of amazing candid photos on their phones. But actually getting those photos is a nightmare. Shared Google Drive links get lost or ignored, messaging apps compress image quality into oblivion, and existing event photo apps charge hundreds of dollars for a basic gallery.

The Solution: PixShare lets you generate a custom QR code for your event. Guests scan it with their camera, upload photos instantly in full resolution from their browser (no app download/install needed), and they immediately sync to a live gallery.

Key Features:

  • Self-Hosted / Storage of Choice: Sync directly to your own Google Drive or AWS S3.
  • Live Interactive Wall: Display uploaded photos on a projector or TV in real-time at the venue.
  • No Friction: Zero app installs or account signups for guests.
  • AI Album Organization: Automatic sorting of photos.

Alpha Launch Offer: We are currently in the Alpha stage and we are offering 100% free usage for our CUG early adopters until we go live and maybe even after that. We want to test the system and get honest feedback on how to make it better.

If you have a wedding, party, or corporate event coming up, we'd love for you to join our CUG interest group.

Let me know what you think of the concept or the stack! I'll be hanging out in the comments to answer questions and get your feedback and share the CUG Form link

PixShare.in launching in Alpha!

Hi everyone,

We’ve been building a small project called PixShare after noticing how messy photo collection becomes after weddings, college fests, parties, and corporate events.

Usually:

  • people take hundreds of photos
  • WhatsApp destroys image quality
  • Google Drive link sharing gets tedious. (Plus login and this and that)
  • organizers never receive most candid shots

So we built a simple system where:

  • organizer creates an event
  • QR code gets generated
  • guests scan and upload directly from browser
  • photos appear instantly in a shared gallery
  • no app install needed
  • You can use your own Google Drive/ Amazon S3 for direct sync to your storage.

We’re also experimenting with:

  • live photo walls for projector/TV display
  • Drive/S3 syncing
  • AI album organization

Currently opening a small alpha/CUG for people willing to test it during real events and give honest feedback.

Would love to know:

  • Would you use something like this?
  • What features would matter most?
  • Biggest concerns: privacy, moderation, storage, UX?

If mods allow, I can share the CUG Form in comments.
