A facepaint party runs on colour and imagination. One minute a child is a wide-eyed unicorn, the next a fierce dragon, and the whole room is a riot of brushes, mirrors and giggles. Everyone is snapping away on their phones, but those brilliant facepaint party photos end up scattered across a dozen camera rolls and you, the host, somehow end up with none of them. PicPlop fixes that. Print or display one QR code by the painting station and your guests scan it, type their name, and upload straight from their phone's browser. No app to download, no sign-ups. Photos and short videos all land in one private, live gallery, so you watch the finished faces appear in real time, even the cheeky before-and-after reveals and the messy fun of the kids painting each other. When the brushes are packed away and the face paint has washed off in the bath, the memories stay put. Download the whole gallery, photos and video, as a ZIP in full original quality, and keep every masterpiece for good. You will finally see the moments you missed while you were refilling the paints, handing out wipes or wrangling glitter.

Your questions answered
Do guests need an app or an account?
No — there's nothing to download and no sign-up to bother with. Guests simply scan your QR code or tap your gallery link, type their name, and they're uploading straight from their phone's browser. It works the same on any phone, so everyone from teenagers to grandparents can join in within seconds.
Can guests upload videos as well as photos?
Both, absolutely. Guests can share the clips they film on the day or favourites from their camera roll, right alongside their photos — the speeches, the dancing, the candid little moments in between. Everything lands together in the same gallery.
Is the gallery private?
It's private by default. Only people with your QR code or gallery link can reach it, and you decide whether guests can see the gallery or keep it just for you — a toggle in your dashboard switches that on or off whenever you like. You can also remove any upload you'd rather wasn't there.
Can I set it up as a surprise and reveal the gallery later?
Keep it hidden with the visibility toggle while guests upload throughout the party, then reveal it once everyone's together. It's a lovely way to share the night back with the guest of honour.
Can guests add old throwback photos too, not just ones from the night?
Definitely — guests can upload straight from their camera roll, so the embarrassing school photos and old classics are very welcome alongside shots from the party.
Will the older guests manage it okay?
Without a hitch — there's no app and no account to wrestle with. It's simply scan, add a name and upload, so every generation can join in.
