About

WeWere

Features
Read full description

WeWere is a shared disposable camera for your events. Create an event, put the QR code on the tables, and every guest becomes a photographer: no account, no app required for guests (the QR opens right in their browser). Everyone's photos land in one shared album, live. HOW IT WORKS โ€ข Host an event in 30 seconds, pick the occasion, print the table card. โ€ข Guests scan the QR. They join with just their name and start shooting. โ€ข Photos appear in the shared album in real time, with a film look applied live in the camera. โ€ข Or go disposable-style: photos stay hidden and "develop" all together at the reveal time you set. MADE FOR THE MOMENT โ€ข Film looks applied live. Each guest picks their own. โ€ข Flash, tap-to-focus, pinch-to-zoom, review before it uploads. โ€ข No photo lost to bad venue WiFi: shots queue on the phone and upload when the network returns. โ€ข Shot limits like a real film roll: per guest, or one shared roll for the whole party. โ€ข Likes, push notifications, and a nudge to get the dance floor shooting again. AFTER THE PARTY โ€ข A recap video with music, generated in the app. โ€ข Save everything to your Photos in one tap. โ€ข The album stays for everyone who was there. PRICING Free for events up to 10 guests. Every feature included, no watermark. One-time purchases (no subscription) unlock bigger events: 15, 25, 100 or 250 guests. The projectable live wall is included from the 25-guest size. Photos are private to the event's members. WeWere is made in Europe.
