Do WedUploader and OurFilm require a guest app?

No. Guests can access either service through a QR code or link without installing an app.

Can a WedUploader album be imported into OurFilm?

No automatic import is available. Keep the files in Drive, create a new OurFilm event and replace the old sharing materials.

OurFilm vs WedUploader: Camera or Google Drive Uploads?

17 September 2026· OurFilm

The short answer: choose OurFilm when you want the act of taking limited, unseen photos to be part of the wedding. Choose WedUploader when the practical goal is to send guests' existing photos and videos directly into your Google Drive.

Both products remove the need for a guest app and can begin with a QR code. They solve different jobs: OurFilm is an event camera; WedUploader is a file collection route with optional gallery features.

Capture-first versus upload-first

OurFilm opens a camera. Guests cannot choose polished pictures from their library, preview a committed frame or take it again. Each person works within the same finite roll, and the resulting gallery can remain hidden until the event ends.

WedUploader opens an upload route. Guests select the photos and videos already on their phones, and the original files move into a folder in the couple's Google Drive. That is efficient when the priority is ownership and collection, not recreating a disposable camera.

Storage and gallery ownership

WedUploader's direct-to-Drive model is its clearest advantage. Albums do not depend on a separate expiring host library, and capacity is governed by the couple's Google Drive storage. Premium adds display and presentation options such as a live gallery, captions, slideshow and custom layouts.

OurFilm stores the private event film and gives the host a complete ZIP download after development. A Google account is not required, but the service is not a permanent Drive ingestion pipeline.

Pricing models

WedUploader provides its core uploading service free and sells a Premium upgrade for additional gallery, design and management features. Because the live price is loaded dynamically, this comparison does not hard-code a number.

OurFilm is free for up to five participants. Its one-time event upgrade removes the participant cap but keeps each participant's finite roll.
