Collect the photos from a weekend with friends (or a hen party)

Guide · 4 min read

After a weekend with eight friends, there are eight phones full of photos and a group chat where everyone posted three. Here is how to gather everything, in original quality, and enjoy it together.

Why the WhatsApp group is not enough

By default, WhatsApp sends photos in standard quality; you have to remember to pick “HD” for each send or change a setting. The photos then get lost among the messages, and nobody knows who has sent everything. We compare the two in detail in Kliche or WhatsApp.

One album for the weekend

  1. Create the album named after the weekend and share the invitation link.
  2. Everyone sends their photos from their phone, with their personal QR code. Photos keep their original quality; only the precise GPS position and device details are removed.
  3. Nudge the latecomers: the “Album ready” page shows who has not sent anything yet.
  4. Watch them together, that same evening or once home, each from home or in front of the TV.
  5. Everyone downloads what they want, as a single ZIP file in original quality.

Find a day, a place, a person

Kliche reads the date and the town on the phone before sending. You can then filter by Day, Place or Person, group by Outing (photos taken in a row at the same spot) or by Moment (morning, afternoon, evening, night), and see the photos on a map.

Discreet by default

Hen party photos are not meant to stay online. Only people with the link can see the album, and it erases itself 3 days after it was created. More on this: why a disappearing album.

For a group that meets often: the Crew keeps a shared space for your friends, beyond a single album.

All the weekend’s photos, in one place.

One album, one QR code per person, original quality.

Frequently asked questions

How many people can send their photos?

Up to 10 people per album during the beta, with 700 photos and 3 GB at most.

Are the photos compressed?

Not JPEG, PNG and WebP: they go in original quality. iPhone HEIC files are converted to high-quality JPEG.

Is my photos’ GPS position shared?

No. The precise position is removed from the file; only an approximate town is used for the filters and the map.
