## What makes Partylio different

- **One QR code, zero friction**: Guests point their camera at the code and land on your upload page. Even grandma manages without instructions.
- **Original quality**: No squashed images like in a group chat. What a guest shoots, you receive in full resolution.
- **Live slideshow**: Put the slideshow on a TV or projector and new photos appear during the party. Guests see their own shots come by.
- **Everything in one download**: No loose links or ten different chats. After the party everything is ready as one ZIP.
- **Privacy in the EU**: Partylio is Belgian and stores images in the EU. You decide who can see the gallery.
- **Matches your party**: Pick a theme for your upload page so it fits your invitation or decor. Guests can leave a short message too.

## Frequently asked questions

### What is Partylio?

Partylio is a Belgian web app for collecting photos and videos from guests through one QR code. Guests need no app or account; they simply upload in their browser.
