Frequently asked questions

Everything you need to know about Scene.

What is a disposable camera app for events?
Scene is a modern take on disposable cameras for events. Guests scan a QR code to access the camera, capture photos with Fujifilm-inspired film styles, and all photos are revealed at a time you choose. Perfect for weddings, parties, and special events.
Do guests need to download an app?
No. Guests simply scan a QR code with their phone camera and can start taking photos instantly in their web browser. For the best experience, hosts can download our free iOS app.
How do the camera styles work?
You pick one look for your entire event: warm and golden, cool and muted, dramatic black & white, or true-to-life color. Every guest photo gets the same style, so your gallery looks cohesive and beautiful. The style shows live on the camera preview before guests even take a photo.
When can I see the photos?
Photos are locked until the reveal time you set when creating the event. This creates anticipation and prevents guests from reviewing photos during your event. After reveal, everyone can view and download all photos.
Can guests take photos offline?
Yes. Photos are saved locally on the device first and automatically uploaded when internet connection is available.
Is Scene free to use?
Guests always join for free, no download, no account. Hosts can create events with up to 5 guests at no cost, no credit card required. Need more guests? One-time upgrades start at $1.99. No subscriptions.
What if my guests don't use it?
Guests scan a QR code and start shooting in under 10 seconds. No app to download, no account to create. Try it free with up to 5 guests at your next small gathering before committing to a bigger event.
How many guests can join an event?
The free tier supports up to 5 guests per event. One-time upgrades let you add 10, 25, 50, 100, 150, 200, or unlimited guests starting at $1.99. No subscriptions or recurring fees.
Does Scene work on Android?
Yes. Android users scan the QR code and use Scene directly in their mobile browser. No app download required. The web experience includes all camera styles, offline photo capture, and full gallery access.
Can I download all the photos?
Yes. Once photos are revealed, you can download individual photos or the entire gallery as a ZIP file. On iOS, you can also save photos directly to your camera roll.
Do guests need to create an account?
No account is required. Guests scan a QR code, enter a display name, and start taking photos in seconds. The app uses your device to identify you, so there is no sign-up or login.
Can I use Scene for a wedding?
Absolutely. Weddings are the most popular use case. Print QR codes on table cards or your welcome sign, pick a film style that matches your aesthetic, and let every guest contribute to a shared gallery. Photos stay locked until after the celebration, so everyone experiences the reveal together.
