Party mode

Hand every guest a disposable camera.

Share one QR code. Your guests each shoot a roll of 21 photos in the free 21Pix app, and every shot falls onto the big screen as a print, with their name on it. Afterwards you get every photo, and each guest can order prints of their own roll.

Free for up to 30 guests. You don't need the app, your guests do.

The 21Pix big screen: guests' photos as prints on a wooden table, with names handwritten on them
This is the real big screen, running in your browser. At your party, your guests' photos land here.

How it works

From the invitation to the last print on the table, in four steps.

  1. Create your party

    Make a free host account on 21pixapp.com and set up your party: name, date and time, the colour of the party camera and the look of the big screen.

  2. Share the QR code

    You get one QR code as a PNG, an SVG, a table card and a poster, plus a 6-letter party code. Put it on invitations, on the tables or on the screen.

  3. Guests shoot

    Guests scan the code and get a party camera in the free 21Pix app: 21 shots each, no previews, no retakes. Every shot comes to you, and the roll stays in their app too.

  4. Watch the wall, keep every photo

    During the party, photos fall onto the big screen one by one. Afterwards you download them all in full resolution, and every guest can order prints of their own roll.

What everyone gets

Every shot a guest takes ends up in three places: on the big screen, with you, and on the guest's own roll.

  • During the party

    The big screen

    Shots fall onto a live photo wall as prints, with the guest's first name on each one. All you need is a laptop and a beamer or TV.

  • For you, the host

    Every photo

    All photos in full resolution as one ZIP download, originals included. Open a web gallery to share the whole party with your guests.

  • For every guest

    Their own roll

    Their party roll stays in their 21Pix app as negatives. They can order real prints of it, at €0.36 per photo plus shipping, like any 21Pix roll.

The party camera

Every guest gets a party camera next to their own 21Pix camera. One swipe and they're holding the other one.

  • A separate roll of 21 shots for every guest, with no previews and no retakes. It stays in their app, so they can order prints of it.
  • In the colour you pick, with a label showing your party's name.
  • Your logo on the camera, and extra rolls per guest, on paid parties.
  • Shots taken without signal are sent as soon as the phone is back online.

The big screen

Open the wall link on a laptop connected to a beamer or TV. Every photo falls onto the table as a print, with the guest's first name written on it.

Pick a scene

  • Wooden table

    Wooden table

    Warm light and string lights. Fits almost any party.

  • White marble

    White marble

    Bright and calm, with gold accents. Made for weddings.

  • Neon club

    Neon club

    A black table in neon light. For dark rooms, concerts and festivals.

  • Names on the prints

    The first name a guest enters is handwritten on their prints. Prefer no names? Switch them off.

  • QR code, name and counter

    Show the join QR code, your party name or logo, and a live count of shots and guests.

  • Everyone gets a turn

    At a busy party the screen takes turns between guests, so the few who shoot the most can't take it over.

  • Test the wall

    Rehearse with demo photos in your own scene, with your name and QR code, to check the laptop and beamer beforehand.

  • Kodak '90s or original

    Choose the film look: warm Kodak '90s colours, or the photos exactly as shot. The download always includes the originals.

You decide what's shown

Every shot passes two checks before it reaches the screen.

  1. Shot taken

    A guest presses the shutter. The photo goes straight to you.

  2. Automatic check

    A filter holds back clearly inappropriate photos. You see them blurred and can still release them.

  3. A moment to pull it

    Every other shot waits a moment before it goes on the screen: two minutes by default, and you choose how long. You, or a friend with the moderator link, can pull it.

  4. On the big screen

    The photo falls onto the table. You can still remove it afterwards.

Made for every kind of party

  • Weddings

    Every guest shoots the day from their own seat. You get all of it in one place, and your guests can order prints of their own rolls. The white marble scene fits the room.

  • Birthdays

    From a 30th in the living room to a garden party. Your friends keep their own roll to print, and it's free for up to 30 guests.

  • Company events

    Your logo on the party camera and your event on the big screen, and every photo for your team afterwards.

  • Concerts and festivals

    Up to 1,000 guests on your own, bigger crowds on request, fair turns on the screen and a neon scene made for the dark.

Prices include VAT. You pay once, for one party. No subscription.

Guests pay for their own prints, not you. Each guest can order prints of their own party roll in the app, at €0.36 per photo plus shipping, like any 21Pix roll.

Privacy and safety

Your guests' photos are personal, so the rules are simple.

Party mode in our privacy policy
  • Stored in the EU

    Party photos are stored on servers in Ireland.

  • Deleted automatically

    30 days after a free party, a year after a paid one. You get a reminder email before that happens.

  • Guests choose

    Guests agree to share their shots when they join. Only their first name is shown. A photo, once sent, is final: you decide what stays, and you can remove any photo from the screen and the gallery.

  • You stay in control

    An automatic filter and a short hold (you choose how long) keep unwanted photos off the screen. You can remove any photo at any time.

  • Never sold, no AI training

    We never sell photos or use them for advertising or to train AI. The app does collect anonymous usage data, which you can switch off.

Questions about Party mode

Party mode turns 21Pix into a disposable camera for everyone at your event. You create a party on our website and share one QR code. Every guest who scans it gets their own party camera in the 21Pix app, with a roll of 21 shots, and every shot comes to you. During the party the photos can fall, one by one, onto a big screen as real-looking prints. Afterwards you download every photo in full resolution, and each guest can order prints of their own party roll.

Create a free host account on 21pixapp.com with your email address and a password, and click the link in the activation email. Then create your party: name, date, start and end time, the colour of the party camera and the look of the big screen. You get a QR code and a 6-letter party code to share with your guests.

Yes, guests need the free 21Pix app for iPhone or Android. If they scan your QR code with their phone camera and don't have the app yet, they're sent to the App Store or Google Play first. After installing, they scan the code again or type the 6-letter party code in the app. You, the host, don't need the app.

Hosting is free for parties with up to 30 guests. For a bigger party you upgrade that one party, from €29, with room for up to 1,000 guests. Expecting more than 1,000? Contact us and we'll set it up. Paid parties also get your logo on the party camera, extra rolls per guest and a year to download the photos. There's no subscription.

The big screen is a web page you open on a laptop connected to a beamer or TV. Guests' shots fall one by one onto a table of real-looking prints, with the guest's first name handwritten on each print. An automatic filter holds back clearly inappropriate photos, and every other shot waits a moment before it appears (two minutes by default, adjustable per party), so you can pull it first.

The host gets every photo: after the party you download them all in full resolution, and you can open a web gallery to share with your guests. Each guest also keeps their own party roll in the 21Pix app. They never see previews, but they can order prints of it at €0.36 per photo plus shipping.

Party photos are stored in the EU (Ireland) and deleted automatically 30 days after a free party, or a year after a paid one. We email the host a reminder a week and a day before. Guests agree to share their shots when they join, only their first name is shown, and they can leave the party at any time. A shot, once sent, is final: only the host can remove it.

Yes. Party mode works for weddings, birthdays, company events, concerts and festivals. You can upgrade a party yourself up to 1,000 guests; for bigger events, contact us. The big screen gives every guest a fair turn. On paid parties you can put your logo on the party camera.

The party camera sits next to the guest's own 21Pix camera. They swipe sideways to pick up the other camera. Shots on the party camera go to the host; shots on their own camera stay on their personal roll, as always.
