Questions & answers

Flash, explained.

A digital disposable camera is an app that recreates the classic single-use film camera: each guest gets a limited number of shots and can’t preview the results, so every photo stays hidden until the host reveals the whole roll at once. Flash brings that experience to the phone in everyone’s pocket — no physical camera, no film to develop, and the shared album is instant. Below is everything you might want to know.

The basics

What Flash is and how it works

What is a digital disposable camera?

A digital disposable camera is an app that recreates the classic single-use film camera: each guest gets a limited number of shots and can’t preview the results, so photos stay hidden until the host reveals the whole roll at once. Flash brings that experience to your phone — no physical camera, no film to develop, and the shared album is instant.

How is Flash different from a shared album or a group chat?

Shared albums and group chats show every photo immediately, which spoils the surprise and floods everyone with duplicates. Flash keeps every shot hidden until the reveal, gives each guest a limited roll so photos are intentional, and collects everyone’s photos, video and voice notes in one place automatically — no chasing people to send their pictures.

When do the photos appear?

Never during the event — that’s the point. Every photo, video clip and voice tape stays hidden until you, the host, tap Reveal. Then the entire album develops at once for every guest to view and download.

What happens to the album after the event?

Once revealed, the album is available for you and your guests to browse and download. Everyone experiences the night through everyone else’s eyes — the whole roll, all at once.

Can guests add video and voice messages too?

Yes. Alongside photos, guests can record short video clips and leave voice “tapes” — little audio messages for the host or the whole group. Everything lands in the same shared album.

For hosts

Setting up and running your event

Do my guests need to download an app?

Guests scan one QR code and can start shooting straight away — the smoothest path uses the free Flash app, but there’s no account to create and no setup. As the host you create the event in the app; guests just scan and shoot.

How many photos can each guest take?

You decide. When you create the event you set the number of shots per guest — a small roll to keep it intentional, or a larger one for all-day events. You can also allow unlimited shots.

Is Flash good for weddings?

Weddings are the perfect use case. Flash replaces the disposable cameras couples used to leave on tables — but nothing gets lost or left behind, every guest can join from their own phone, and you get one beautiful shared album of candid moments the professional photographer never captured.

Privacy & pricing

Cost, data and who can see your photos

How much does Flash cost?

Creating a small event for a handful of people is free. Larger events are a one-time price based on guest capacity — you pay per event, not a subscription. There is nothing for your guests to pay.

Where is my data stored and who can see my photos?

Your data is stored in the EU. Only people you invite can join an event, photos stay private to that event, and you can delete an event and all its media at any time. Flash never sells your data or uses your photos to train AI models.
