Photo Jelly is an AI-powered photo sharing and event management platform. It lets event planners, photographers, and organisations create events, collect media from guests, and automatically deliver photos to each guest using facial recognition — via WhatsApp or web, with no app download required for guests.

Who is Photo Jelly for?

Photo Jelly is designed for personal event hosts, professional photographers, wedding planners, and enterprise teams who need a seamless way to collect, manage, and share event media at scale.

How does AI facial recognition work?

Guests upload a selfie once. Photo Jelly' AI matches them to every photo they appear in and delivers those images privately via WhatsApp or the web gallery — never the full album.

Yes. Photo Jelly offers a free plan to host your first event. Paid plans add Cam-Link, AI editing, WhatsApp Bot, higher storage, and enterprise features.

Honest comparison · QR + face delivery

Photo Jelly vs PicsDrop

PicsDrop is an event sharing app: QR in, face match, photos out — no card required to start. Photo Jelly also supports guest-facing delivery, and adds WhatsApp, Cam-Link, desktop ingest, and a photographer studio PicsDrop does not need to be.

Two different jobs

PicsDrop is built for Events that want a QR code on a stand and guests matching their face. Photo Jelly is built for the event: ingest, face delivery, WhatsApp, and a photographer in the loop.

Choose PicsDrop if

The brief is a QR stand and face search, nothing else.
You want the lightest event share app.

Choose Photo Jelly if

Official photos are landing from a camera or laptop all night.
WhatsApp is how this family communicates.
You need galleries, video, and photographer seats.

A QR on a table is a good door. PicsDrop built a product around that door plus AI faces. For a lean event, that can be enough.

Photo Jelly treats QR as one entry, not the product. The rest is ingest at volume, private WhatsApp sets, themed galleries, and a Mac/Windows app for the shooter.

Choose PicsDrop for a simple QR + face event. Choose Photo Jelly when the photographer and the host share one workspace.
