Taking a picture does not automatically publish it. You must tap Share to the Wall.

Upload Photo

  1. Tap Upload Photo.
  2. Select one photo from your phone's standard photo library picker.
  3. Review the photo on the same READY TO SHARE preview.

Only one photo can be selected per upload. Repeat the process to share additional photos.

Preview options

The preview includes a delete/trash action to discard the current selection and Pick a different one to choose another image. The preview identifies the guest sharing the photo.

Finding your contributions

Open View All → My Photos to find photos associated with your guest profile. Media captured at a separate PixCrowd Capture Station can also be associated with you by claiming it using a QR code.

Note: This page documents phone photo capture and single-photo library uploads. Capture Station videos and boomerangs use the separate claiming workflow.
