Why choose Gather?
Gather welcomes the photos and videos guests already captured on their phones. Share one link, choose a design that feels like your event, and bring those different perspectives into a shared album.
Welcome their camera-roll favourites.
Guests choose the photos and videos they want to contribute, directly in the browser. They can share the moments they caught while enjoying the gathering.
Make the album part of the story.
Go cinematic, editorial, monochrome or softly colourful. Themes change the entire presentation, and every managed design is included in the $79 plan.
Enjoy it together. Take the collection home.
Guests can browse the shared album, hosts can moderate contributions, and album downloads bring the collection together. Managed hosting includes backups, too.
The difference, at a glance.
POV centres its experience on a disposable-camera activity, with a chosen photo allowance, styles and reveal time. Guests can join through a QR code or link, and it offers printed photobooks. Gather centres on a shared photo and video album with theme-specific customization and an open-source self-hosted edition.
