What Memtly does
Memtly gathers every guest photo in one place. Anyone who wants to contribute scans the QR code on the table — no account, no app, nothing to explain.
What gets uploaded reaches you first. Only after you approve does it appear on the wall or in the slideshow on the projector.
A QR code instead of an app for your guests
Approval before anything becomes visible
Slideshow mode for the projector in the room
A separate gallery per event
Good to know before the first start: You create the administrator account first, then a gallery for the event. Hand the QR code to your guests — they do not need an account.

Common questions
- What does Memtly cost on Podless?
- At the recommended size (0.5 cores · 1 GB RAM · 50 GB Storage) about €3.60 a month, billed by the hour. Stop Memtly and you only pay for storage.
- Do I need technical knowledge?
- No. No server, no Docker, no terminal commands. You click start and Memtly runs. Updates are tested on our own instances first and then rolled out.
- Where does my data live?
- In your own Memtly instance on servers in Germany and France; bulk storage sits in Frankfurt. Add your own S3 bucket and we back up there daily, encrypted.
- Can I leave again?
- Memtly is open source and keeps running on your own server. You fetch the files over a time-limited SFTP access and reach the database with the credentials from the dashboard.
