How long do guests have?

While the gallery is live. See [how long your gallery stays live](/help/after-your-event/how-long-gallery-stays-live).

Can I stop uploads when I have enough?

Yes. See [turning off guest uploads](/help/manage-your-gallery/turn-off-guest-uploads).

Will I know when someone adds a photo?

New uploads appear in the gallery as they arrive, so it is worth checking back over the following week.

Should I download before or after closing uploads?

Send a final reminder, give it a few days, then [download everything](/help/after-your-event/download-all-event-photos).

Can guests upload photos after the event?

Q: Can guests upload photos after the event?

Yes, for as long as the gallery is live and uploads are switched on. This is where most of the good photos actually come from: people are home, going through their camera roll, and have time to choose. A short message the morning after almost always collects more than the QR codes did on the day.
