SYNC
Hyderabad, Telangana, India
What it is
SYNC collects guests’ event photos into a shared album through a QR code or invite code. Guests can join from a modern phone browser without installing the app or creating an account. Hosts choose whether photos appear during the event, afterward, or after an additional delay, and can divide an event into Moments with separate QR codes and reveal timing. Available on iOS and Android, SYNC lets users export full-resolution original photos to the device’s Photos app. Photos captured offline in an event queue on the device and upload when connectivity returns. The free plan costs nothing and supports up to 7 guests; SYNC says photos are unlimited. Paid SYNC PRO tiers are one-time, per-event purchases, with options from SYNC 10 to Unlimited, higher guest and photo-per-guest limits, and a custom cover image. SYNC says photos are encrypted in transit, stored in event-scoped buckets, and protected by per-event row-level security. It says it does not sell photos or data, run ads, or use cross-app tracking.
