The private photo gallery for your bachelorette or bachelor party.

Yes, and privacy is the default setting, not an option to enable. A Photobooth universe starts in private mode: each participant only sees their own photos, and nobody stumbles on anyone else's. There is no public link at all — unlike a classic shared album, nothing can be forwarded or indexed: only people holding the universe access code can get in, and each participant protects their personal gallery with their own 6-digit PIN. Galleries are also isolated between events: the bachelorette universe is sealed off from any other. For the collective debrief moment — often at the end of the weekend — the organiser can switch to shared mode, making the photos visible to the whole group; the switch is reversible and never exposes anything outside the group. Photos someone would rather not show can be deleted by their owner before the switch.

For a test or a very small group, yes; for a full bachelorette, rarely. The free Discover plan covers one universe, 100 photos and 30 days of retention, with no credit card — and it is exactly the same product as the paid plans: film rolls, private or shared mode, zip download. But for a bachelorette of 8 to 12 people over a weekend, 100 photos — about ten per person — are reached quickly, especially with photo challenges that push the counter up fast. In that case, the Night plan at €29 one-time lifts the cap: unlimited photos, retention extended to 6 months — for instance until the wedding itself — and Google Drive backup. The free plan stays ideal for checking the journey before switching.

Yes, at any moment and in one gesture: switching between private and shared mode is a single toggle in the admin dashboard, accessible from the organiser's phone. The change applies instantly for every participant and is fully reversible — no photo is altered, moved or deleted in the process. The most common strategy on a bachelorette weekend: keep private mode during the activities, everyone dropping photos as they go without worrying about who sees what, then switch to shared on Sunday evening for the collective debrief, when the whole group discovers the entire collection at once. The reverse works too: going back to private after the debrief if the gallery stays open for a few more weeks. In every case, the organiser keeps the complete view of all photos, whatever the active mode.

Three options, and they combine. First, the download: from the admin panel, the organiser retrieves a complete zip of the collection in one click, sorted by participant — or a single person's zip. Second, online retention: the gallery stays open 30 days on the Discover plan and 6 months on Night, letting latecomers complete the collection after the weekend. Third, the handover: a popular use is building, from the zip or the Google Drive backup (included with Night), a keepsake album given to the bride after the wedding — the bachelorette photos taken by every participant, gathered and sorted, make a gift that exists nowhere else. Photos are never compressed or cropped: the files come back exactly as they were uploaded.
