Vignette turns any get-together into a shared disposable camera. Create an event, share one code, and everyone points, shoots, and waits. No feeds, no filters, no peeking — every photo stays hidden until the event ends. Then comes the big reveal: all of your guests' shots, together in one gallery. HOW IT WORKS • Host an event — give it a name and a start time • Share your 6-character code — guests join instantly, no account needed • Everyone gets a limited roll — a set number of shots each, just like a real disposable • Photos stay locked until the event wraps • The big reveal — the full gallery opens for everyone at once PERFECT FOR Weddings, birthdays, road trips, house parties, reunions, holidays — any time you want the whole night through everyone's eyes, not just your own camera roll. FREE • Up to 25 guests • Up to 300 photos per event • Events up to 24 hours, or end them manually HOST PLUS • Up to 100 guests • Up to 2,500 photos per event • Multi-day events, up to 30 days • Built for weekend trips and week-long vacations Guests never need an account or a subscription — join, shoot, and see the reveal for free. Host Plus is a monthly auto-renewing subscription. Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase and renews automatically unless canceled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel anytime in your Apple Account settings. Privacy Policy: https://vignette.photo/privacy

About

Knips

Features
Read full description

Knips is a shared disposable camera for nights that only happen once. Create a Knips for the wedding, the birthday or the party, and put up the QR code. Guests scan and shoot straight in the browser — no app, no account, nothing to explain. Every guest gets a limited number of shots, no preview and no retakes. Exactly like a disposable camera. And then the part that matters: nobody sees anything until the film develops. You pick the moment yourselves — when the party is over, or over breakfast the next morning — and every photo opens at the same time, for everyone. The developing becomes a second party. WHAT YOU GET • One album with the whole night, seen from every side • A QR sign ready to print — pick a design and put it on the tables • Six film looks the host picks for the whole roll • Moving photos — short clips, if you want them • Tonight's film — a finished, cut video of the photos • Watch the developing together — every phone in time, or on the TV HOW IT WORKS 1. Create a Knips and pick when the film develops 2. Put up the sign — guests scan and are shooting in seconds 3. Everyone shoots through the night, and nobody sees a thing 4. The film develops — and everyone sees everything, at once Free for up to five guests. Bigger party? One flat price by guest count — no subscription. The photographer follows the couple. Knips follows everyone.
