Sharing photos after an event has become almost as important as the event itself. Weddings, birthdays, festivals, and company parties all live on in the form of galleries, albums, and QR code links that allow guests to relive the best moments. The magic of these platforms is simple: everyone can contribute, and you get to see the night from a hundred different perspectives.
But there’s also a catch. When you open up your event gallery to guest uploads, you don’t just get laughter-filled selfies and heartfelt group shots. You also run the risk of receiving content that doesn’t belong there. Sometimes it’s harmless but off-topic — a blurry photo of the floor, or a random meme someone thought would be funny. Other times, it can be far worse: images that are explicit, violent, or otherwise inappropriate. And once it’s in your gallery, it can completely ruin the experience for everyone who clicks that link.
Why Unwanted Content is a Serious Issue
For casual events among close friends, an inappropriate upload might cause a laugh and a quick delete. But for larger gatherings — especially weddings, public parties, or corporate events — it’s not just an annoyance. It can be genuinely harmful.
Imagine a wedding couple discovering that their carefully curated gallery contains nudity or offensive symbols. Or think about a company hosting a public-facing event where their QR code album, meant to showcase happy moments, suddenly contains something violent or disturbing. In both cases, the problem is bigger than just a misplaced photo: it creates embarrassment, damages reputations, and undermines trust.
This is why protecting your guest photo gallery is no longer optional. It’s a core part of hosting a safe and welcoming event in the digital age.
How AI Moderation Protects Your Gallery
Fotny was built to make event photo sharing simple, fun, and safe. To deal with the challenge of unwanted content, we developed an AI-powered moderation feature that quietly works in the background every time someone uploads a photo.
The idea is simple: instead of forcing you to review every upload or risking that something inappropriate slips through, it automatically checks each image as it comes in. The system is trained to recognize a wide range of problematic content, from nudity and explicit gestures to violence, drugs, or weapons. If it finds something suspicious, the image never appears in the public gallery. Instead, it’s hidden and flagged for you, the event organizer, to review later.
This way, you get the final say, but your guests only ever see the moments that belong in your celebration.
A Better Experience for You and Your Guests
What makes this especially powerful is the peace of mind it creates. Instead of worrying about what people might upload, you can focus on enjoying the event itself. Guests are free to share photos without hesitation, and you can share your gallery link widely — whether through a QR code at the entrance, in an email after the event, or on social media — without worrying about what might show up there.
In practice, this creates a much smoother experience. For personal events like weddings or birthdays, it keeps your gallery full of happy memories. For businesses and organizations, it protects your brand and ensures that your event remains professional and on-message. And because the moderation happens automatically, you don’t need to spend hours sorting through uploads after the party is over.
Final Thoughts
Event photo sharing should be joyful, not stressful. By using AI moderation, you can make sure that the story your gallery tells is the one you want — full of laughter, connection, and memories, without the risk of something inappropriate spoiling the experience.
With Fotny, you don’t have to choose between openness and safety. You can let your guests upload freely, knowing that your gallery will stay exactly as it should: a collection of moments worth remembering.
