Event Availability and Post-Event Albums

PixCrowd Collect remains available for a defined live window around the event's scheduled date.

Live access window

The window opens 1 day before the scheduled event date and extends 3 days after it.

During that window, guests can still:

  • Register as new guests, including after the scheduled event date.
  • Take and upload photos through Collect.
  • Browse the Photo Gallery.

The scheduled celebration ending does not immediately close Collect.

When the live window closes

After the live window closes, Collect no longer offers its regular guest features. Instead, it shows:

This event has finished

Accessing curated albums later

After the event, the host can send links to curated photo albums. These links are separate from the live Collect experience.

Album availability depends on the retention policy of the host's PixCrowd plan; do not assume that all albums remain accessible indefinitely.

Help the host reach you

If you joined through an open invitation, consider updating your email address or phone number in Settings → Your Details so the host can send you album links later.

For organizers: The live Collect window and post-event curated album retention are separate concepts. Album links can remain available according to the host's plan even after Collect displays This event has finished.
