About

ROLL

Features
Read full description

One shared roll for the whole party. ROLL turns any event into a single disposable camera that everyone shoots on together. Create a roll, share its QR code, and your guests start capturing the night from their own eyes — no app to download, no account to make. Nobody sees a thing until you reveal the roll. Then the whole event lands at once, the morning after: the candid, everyone's-angle version of the night you'd never get from one phone. HOW IT WORKS • Shoot — like a disposable camera. Each guest gets 10–50 frames, no retakes, no delete. Just point and shoot. • Reveal — every photo stays sealed until you reveal the roll. Do it at the end of the night or schedule it for the next morning. • Invite — guests join with a single tap via App Clip. No install, no sign-up. WHY YOU'LL LOVE IT • Every angle, full resolution — hundreds of real photos from the people who were actually there. • One film look — pick a style and the whole roll matches, like it came from a single camera. • Export it all — download the originals or open a web gallery everyone can browse. • One price per event by guest count. Guests are always free, however many photos they take. NEW: THE HUB Plan the whole event, not just the photos. The Hub is your home for the tools around the day: • Invitations — design a beautiful digital invite from ready-made templates. • Event page — build a gorgeous web page with your details, photos and directions. • Extras — add a quiz, a shared playlist, a wishlist and a menu. • RSVPs — collect replies and see exactly who's coming. Perfect for weddings, birthdays, parties, bachelorette weekends, graduations, and company events. MAKE A VIDEO Turn the roll into a video. Pick your favourite shots from a developed roll and ROLL winds them into a shareable film-strip recap, ready for Stories. Every event also gets an automatic recap the moment the roll develops. Put down your phone. Pick up the roll.
