Drop a pin at the venue, share one 5-letter code with the guests, and Tinkan pulls every matching phone photo into one album you deliver alongside the professional gallery.
Photos only leave a guest's phone when they tap Send. You (or your couple) can require approval before any photo lands in the album.
You shot the ceremony, the formals, the first dance. The photos guests rave about the next morning are the after-party shots taken on phones at 1 AM that you weren't there for. Tinkan turns those into part of your delivery.
Drop a pin covering the venue and the time window. Share one 5-letter code on the program, the welcome sign, the group text. Every guest sees the same ask.
EXIF + GPS surface only photos taken at the venue during the event. Guests don't scroll their roll. You don't sift hundreds of irrelevant snaps.
Moderated mode: every photo waits in your queue. Approve what fits the gallery, reject what doesn't. Or flip to open mode and let it all through.
The reception, the after-party, the next-morning brunch. Tinkan covers the long tail you can't reasonably shoot alone.
Conferences, launches, brand activations. Aggregate attendee photos for the post-event recap deck without chasing 200 people on email.
Birthdays, baby showers, anniversaries. The aunts and grandparents who shot phone photos can contribute to the official album without learning a new app.
Anywhere you have a defined location and time and attendees with phones. One pin, one code, one album.
Tinkan is free during early access. We're working on a photographer-tier plan with extended retention, branded share cards, downloadable album bundles, and AI-curated highlight reels — email hello@tinkan.app if you want to be in the first cohort.
No. The web donor flow at tinkan.app/e/{CODE} works in any modern browser. Guests sign in with their phone number, upload, done. The native app gives a smoother experience but isn't required.
The guest who took them retains all rights. Sending through Tinkan is the same as forwarding via iMessage — they're sharing a copy with the host. Photographers planning to use guest photos commercially should get a written license from the couple.
Yes. Photographers often act as host on behalf of the couple — they control the moderation queue, manage the code, and deliver the album. Co-host support so the couple can also see and approve is on the roadmap.
HEIC and standard image formats are handled. Live Photos upload as still images. Video is supported in-app for donors with the iOS or Android client; the web flow is photo-focused for v1.
No hard cap during early access. Individual files cap at 15 MB for photos and 60 MB for videos. We retain photos indefinitely for now; longer-term retention policy will be configurable in the photographer tier.
Each guest photo is downloadable individually from the Tinkan app. Bulk export as a zip is the next thing on the list — email hello@tinkan.app if you'd like to be the test case.
Working photographer? We want to talk. Email hello@tinkan.app and tell us what you shoot, what you'd want from a guest-photo workflow, and what's missing.
