Quick answer

What Are Memories on Evatril?

Memories is where an event's photos and videos live on Evatril, during the event and long after it. It has three spaces: My Album, private to the host; the Memory Pool, where guests and photographers add photos; and the Guest Album, the final set the host chooses for everyone to keep.

At a glance

Three spaces: My Album, Memory Pool and Guest Album, each with its own job.

Guests join the Memory Pool through their invitation, through Grant Access, or by scanning a QR code at the venue.

The host decides who helps, who sees what, and which photos reach the Guest Album.

Files move between the spaces in any direction, with their captions and comments.

After the last song, an event's photos scatter: some in the photographer's drive, some on fifty guests' phones, a few in a family group nobody can scroll back through. Memories is the part of Evatril that gathers them in one place, without showing every photo to everyone.

It's the best way to keep a celebration whole, because everyone adds what they captured to one collective album. And the files live in the cloud, not on a pen drive or a hard disk, so everyone with access can view, comment on and share them at any time. The one exception is My Album, the host's private space: only the host can view it, download from it and move its files to another space, and a photographer can add to it only if the host gives access.

What are the three spaces in Memories?

Each space has its own guide: My Album, the Memory Pool and the Guest Album.

How do guests join the Memory Pool?

Everyone who uploads needs a complete Evatril account, and there are three ways in:

  • Through the invitation: an invited guest completes their account and can add photos.
  • Through Grant Access: the host or a Super Admin Host lets in someone who isn't on the guest list.
  • Through a QR code at the venue: anyone who scans it and completes their account joins as a guest.

By default, a venue scan lets people upload, comment and react straight away. The host can switch on approval first, and choose how long scan-in guests keep access: 1, 3, 6 or 12 hours, with 6 as the default. For the guest's side, see how to collect wedding photos from guests.

Who runs Memories with the host?

Two roles share the work. A Super Admin Host helps manage the pool and can approve people. A Photographer Admin uploads photos with captions to the Memory Pool, live during the event if you like, and reacts but doesn't comment. How much more a photographer can do, such as adding to My Album, is the host's setting. Who can see, download and comment is set out in who can see what in the Memory Pool.

Can a photo move from one space to another?

Yes. The host can move any file between the three spaces, in any direction, and its caption, comments and reactions go with it. Select several and tap Move Selected to move a batch. A photo pulled back from the Guest Album to My Album simply stops being visible to guests.

Can I share the Memory Pool with someone as a link?

Yes. The host can share the Memory Pool as a link, and whoever opens it can view the photos and videos. A shared link is view-only: it can't upload, comment or react. How long the link keeps working depends on the host's settings.

What does this look like at a real event?

At a wedding reception, the photographer's edited shots go into My Album. Guests drop phone photos of the dance floor into the Memory Pool. A week later, the host picks the best from both for the Guest Album. A company offsite works the same way, with the agency's shots in My Album and the team's photos in the pool.

When the host shares memories with a guest, a reel badge appears on that guest's invitation, and the photos show up in the Memories tab of their My Invitations. Because Evatril is built only for occasions, those photos sit with the invitation they belong to, not in a chat that buries them by next week.

Frequently Asked Questions

JPG and PNG photos and MP4 videos, up to 20MB per file and 3 minutes per video. Uploads start straight away, and you can add a caption to each file as it goes up.
Sixty days after the first upload, the pool pauses: photos are frozen and hidden from guests, not deleted. The host taps Activate to open it again, or turns on Permanent mode to keep it open with no pause.
Each person picks one reaction per photo or video: Like, Love, Wow or Haha. Comments open beside the photo in a threaded conversation. My Album takes captions only, because it's the host's personal digital album and nobody else sees it.
Yes. Memories is its own purchase, made once per event, and the three spaces (My Album, Memory Pool and Guest Album) share that storage. Rates are on the pricing page.
Yes. Any guest can flag it, and the host reviews it and decides whether to remove it or keep it. The guest who uploaded it can also remove it themselves, but the review is the host's job, so act on a flag as quickly as you can.
Yes. The host, a Super Admin Host or anyone in an equal role can delete or hide comments, stop a particular guest from uploading or commenting, or remove them from Memories altogether. Every one of these settings is the host's call.
