The Sipix features, in detail
The big picture is on the homepage; here is the practical detail: what your guests can send, what happens during the party, and what you keep at the end.
For your guests: sending in seconds
Every event has its own link and QR code. A guest scans it, and the upload page opens in their browser. Nothing to install, no account to create, and it works on older phones too. In practice, your guests can send:
- photos up to 30 MB, including HEIC photos from iPhones, converted automatically for display;
- videos up to 500 MB (mp4, mov, webm);
- voice messages up to 3 minutes, recorded right there on the page;
- a short note and their first name, if they like, with every upload.
Uploading is built for wedding venues. Files go up in batches, and if the Wi-Fi or mobile signal drops, the upload picks up where it left off instead of starting again. A file sent twice is only counted once.
To point your guests to the code, Sipix provides the stationery: a poster, table cards and tent cards, ready to print in your theme’s colours with your names and your date.
During the party: the live slideshow
Put the slideshow on the big screen and let it run by itself. Every new photo appears on its own, already checked. Three safeguards work behind the scenes:
- every photo is given a sharpness score; blurry photos stay in the gallery but never reach the screen;
- bursts (ten nearly identical photos) are grouped behind their best shot;
- sensitive content is held back before publishing and waits for your approval, and the big screen stays under your control.
- The screen invites your guests for you: as often as you choose, the slideshow shows the event’s QR code full screen. Guests scan it, the photos pour in, then the slideshow carries on. Nobody has to grab the microphone.
The slideshow restarts on its own after a power cut or a sleeping screen, and it is never behind the access code, which makes it ideal for the venue’s screen.
After the wedding: find, sort, keep
The gallery is more than a pile of files. To find your way around thousands of memories:
- filters by moment (getting ready, drinks reception, party), worked out from the times the photos were taken;
- automatic categories: bride, wedding cake, dancing, children, group shots and more, ten in all, and you can correct them by hand;
- your custom tags, visible to you alone or shared with your guests;
- the “favourites”: the photos your guests loved most, marked with an anonymous heart, no account needed.
- Your guests can leave their email address on the upload page, and we let them know when the album is complete.
At the end, you download the complete archive: photos and videos in original quality, written notes, voice messages and their transcripts, with a contents page. It is split into parts of around 50 GB so the download stays reliable even for a very large wedding. Your guests can also download the gallery photos, if you allow it. Before it is offered to you, every archive is checked automatically, with no human ever looking at it: every file present, intact and identical to the original that was sent.
Control and privacy
- Approval before publishing if you’d rather sign off everything yourselves; hide or delete any upload, at any time.
- Moderation by an AI run in France, by a French provider, never a stranger; it can be switched off entirely, in which case not a single photo, video or voice message goes anywhere near an AI.
- An optional guest access code in front of the gallery and the upload page; changing it immediately signs out every device that had entered it.
- Your originals are not left lying around on the web: the original files, with their metadata (including GPS location), are never reachable through a permanent address; the images shown in the gallery are copies stripped of their metadata.
- GDPR compliant, data stored in the European Union, real and permanent deletion at the deadline (privacy policy).
- No facial recognition, ever: nobody “finds” your guests by their face, however fashionable that has become.
