Share your moments instantly with a live photo wall

Frequently asked questions

What is LiveWall Free?

LiveWall Free lets you easily test and see if LiveWall is right for you, or run those spontaneous events. We'll keep your wall and photos for 24 hours, or one week if you register with your email address. You may upload a reasonable amount of photos, currently that limit is set to 50.

What is LiveWall Premium?

LiveWall Premium is a paid upgrade with more options and features. There is no subscription, only a one-time fee per wall you choose to upgrade. In short, you can upload as many photos as you want, and we'll keep them safe for a full year.

Can guests take photos with their own apps?

Yes, it is possible to upload from the camera roll, use the built-in camera on the smart phone, or any other camera app. You can also turn this off, if you want to ensure only fresh snaps taken with the LiveWall Camera.

Can I download photos after my event?

Yes, you can save any image from the wall or feed in your browser. Upgrade to Premium to download all your photos with one click and in full resolution.

Can I share the photos with my guests?

You can choose to do so! Share the feed to allow anyone to follow your event from their smartphone. You can also share the download link to the ZIP file after the event to let everyone download the high-resolution photos.

Who can see the photos?

LiveWall is private, and only those you share your private links with can see your photos. You can enable end-to-end encryption which protects your photos with industry grade encryption from the moment a photo is captured till it lands safely on your device. But: don't forget that pass phrase! (And you will have to find a secure way to share it if you want people to use the feed.)

What is moderation and safety filters?

By upgrading to LiveWall Premium you can enable our automatic safety filter, which protects you from embarassing moments as Not Safe for Work photos are automatically rejected. You can also enable manual moderation, so that you or people you designate have to approve every photo before they are shown on the wall or shared with guests.

Do I have to use the wall and show photos live?

Many of our users use just the feed or even just as a way to collect photos from many different people.

What's your refund policy?

If for any reason you are not happy or end up not using LiveWall, we offer a 30-day no questions asked money back guarantee.

Please sign up and test the free trial before you make a purchase - this lets you see all the options and features we offer (although you can't enable all of them), and helps you make an informed purchase.

How does LiveWall compare to Lense , Kululu , LiveShareNow , SocialWalls , Rompolo , Evental , PixelParty , TacBoard , RequestNow ?

You have options to choose from, and that is great! LiveWall came about as an experiment on designing Green Software (see below). We're using the best of modern cloud technologies, which means we can operate with very little (or no) overhead, and therefore offer LiveWall at a very competitive price. We try to make it user friendly and fun, and believe the market is a big ocean where many boats can sail. If you find LiveWall is a great match for you, we're happy to have you on board!

Plus, we take privacy and security very seriously. Your data is protected by Norwegian Privacy Laws which are among the strictest in the world. We're the only provider that offers end-to-end encryption - which means neither we nor anyone else can see what you share.

What are the CO2 emissions from LiveWall?

LiveWall is designed to be as environmentally friendly as possible, in accordance with guidelines from the Green Software Foundation. We're using the most environmentally friendly data centers in the world, offload processing to the smartphones where photos are taken, limit network traffic to the absolute minimum, and the server side of the solution is designed to Scale To Zero, which means it does not emit carbon at all when not in use.

Does LiveWall feed the AI monsters?

We are not training AI models, and will not grant anyone access to your photos. Our site rejects all crawlers from accessing user content, so your content will not be discoverable by those big spiders that feed the giant AI monsters.

LiveWall looks a bit like social media - is it?

You can invite your friends, share your links, gather photos and let anyone enjoy them. So yes, it may look like social media, but LiveWall is different. First, we're not trying to build anything like social media, just a nice and easy way to gather and share photos. Secondly, no content is discoverable unless you have been given a private link to it. Think of it as a private chat, run by a company that respects your privacy and does not track you or any of the users.

Why isn't there any login or authentication in LiveWall?

We want to make it very easy to collect and share photos, so we're using secret links instead of user accounts. This means you can start using LiveWall without any hassle, and you can share the link with anyone you want to join in. If you want to keep your wall private, you can enable end-to-end encryption and share the pass phrase with your guests.

Some users have asked us for a feature where they invite users by email, and we're considering adding this feature in the future. If you would pay for LiveWall if we had this feature, please let us know!

How many users and photos can LiveWall Premium support?

We are enforcing reasonable use limits on LiveWall Free. For Premium, we have not set any hard limits. We are not concerned about events with hundreds and hundreds of images or many dozens users. If your event exceeds that by a lot we will monitor usage to see if it is temporary or not. We will not shut you down without warning, but if you have exceptionally many users or photos we will work with you to find a solution that works for both of us. We're a small company, and there is real cost for us for every user and photo.

I haven't seen LiveWall before, are you a startup?

LiveWall is freshly grown software. Completely organic, vegan most days, and made with 💖 in Norway 🇳🇴 and Switzerland 🇨🇭. We're really enthusiastic about photography, and our contribution is software for photographers. We hope people take more photos and share the really good ones with the world. Startups are so hyped these days; we're more of a lifestyle business - some folks trying to make a living by making good software products and making it available to the world at reasonable prices.
