Your photos first
GPS position and device information are removed from every photo on arrival. A phone records where it is standing, and that is often somebody’s home.

Who makes EventSlide
I’m Pierre, a developer who has loved his craft for more than ten years.
I first wrote EventSlide for my own wedding: I wanted our guests to send their photos and watch them arrive on the big screen during the evening. The wall was a hit, so I decided to take the project further and share it.
Today I maintain it as a volunteer. There is no company behind it, no sales team, no advertising.
Why this project
To share the photos of a party, most tools ask that your guests install an app, or that you hand your photos to a company you do not know. EventSlide was made to avoid both.
Nothing to install
Your guests scan a QR code and send their photos from their browser. No account, no app, no email.
You keep the choice
The safest place for your photos is your own installation of EventSlide. For those who cannot host it, a hosted instance exists.
Our commitments
No advertising
Not on this site, not on your party’s wall.
No resale
Your photos are never resold.
Hosted in France
The photos of the hosted instance are with OVHcloud, in France.
Location erased
GPS position and device identifiers are removed when each photo arrives.
The hosted instance, frankly
For those who cannot host EventSlide, the maintainer runs an instance of the same software, unmodified.
Free
Donations are planned, not open yet: they will buy nothing, the service is the same for everyone.
By invitation
You get in by requesting access, never through open sign-up.
No contract, no availability guarantee
It is a favour, not a product for sale. The wall also depends on the venue’s internet connection.
A promise, not a padlock
The application never shows your photos to the person who runs the instance. But that person has, technically, access to the machine, and so to the files. They commit not to use it: it is a commitment, not a lock. If you want a lock, host EventSlide yourself.

Free software
EventSlide is free software under the AGPL-3.0 licence: you can read its code, change it and pass it on. It also means you are not locked in: a copy installed at home keeps running, whatever happens to the project.
The licence in detail and how to install it at home are on the the Self-hosting page. The code is on the github.com/Irony42/EventSlide.
How to support the project
A project made by one volunteer moves forward with the help of the people who use it. Here are four ways to give it, from the simplest to the most useful.
Donate
Donations will be received through Open Collective. A donation unlocks nothing: the service is the same for everyone.

Contribute on GitHub
Star the repository, report a problem, propose a change. It all happens on the repository.
Spread the word
To someone planning a wedding, to an association, to the friend who owns a projector. Word of mouth is our only advertising.
Proofread a translation
The app exists in French, English, German, Spanish and Italian. The German, Spanish and Italian have not yet been read over by a native speaker. If that is you, write to us.
