For hosts
Collections — one event, several stories
You name the sections and choose what goes in them. A photo can sit in several, and it is still stored once.
A wedding is not one gallery, it is five: the mehendi, the ceremony, the portraits, the reception, the morning after. Delivered as a single unbroken grid, all five are equally hard to find.
Collections let you cut the same gallery into named sections. This is a manual tool and deliberately so — you know which frames are the sangeet and no classifier does. What it removes is the file shuffling: a collection references photos rather than copying them, so a frame in three collections still occupies the storage of one.
How it works
- 1
Name the sections you actually have
Name them for the event, not for the software — Mehendi, Baraat, Reception.
- 2
Add photos to them
Select a run of frames and assign them in one action. Adding a photo twice is a no-op, not a duplicate.
- 3
Guests browse the Collections tab
The gallery opens on all photos; Collections is a tab beside it.

Questions
- Does it sort the photos for me?
- No — and it is worth being straight about that. Collections are built by hand. Nothing here classifies your ceremony from your reception; you choose. What you get back is the ability to organise without duplicating files or splitting the event across links.
- Does a photo in three collections cost three times the storage?
- No. A collection holds references, so the file is stored once no matter how many collections point at it.
- Can guests search inside one collection?
- Face search runs across the whole event rather than a single collection. Downloads and browsing are collection-scoped; search is not.
