Alternatives
Looking for a Kululu alternative?
PixelParty and Kululu both give your wedding a QR code that guests scan to upload photos and videos to a shared album, with nothing to install.
Free to get started · One-time from £34.99 · No subscription
Both are established products doing the same job. The differences are in the gallery window, what happens on the day, and who you are buying from.
Everything this page says about Kululu was read from their own website on 28 August 2026. Products change. Check theirs before you decide, and check ours too.

What Kululu does well
Worth knowing before you decide. For most couples the deciding factor is how little a guest has to do, which is where PixelParty is strongest.
An established product
Their site states 15,280+ couples and a 4.7 star rating, alongside a live slideshow and a full comparison of their own against other providers.
Breadth of occasions
Separate products for birthdays, parties, conferences and corporate events, not only weddings.
A digital wedding guestbook
Sold as its own product alongside the photo sharing.
Why couples pick PixelParty instead
A disposable camera with filters
Powered by Snapchat and built into the gallery.
A stated gallery window
12 months on Classic, 24 on Plus, for uploading and downloading.
Try it on a real event, free
Get started for free on a real event before you pay.
A company you can look up
PixelParty Group LTD, registered in Scotland, company number SC854567.
The real thing
What your guests will see
Three screens from a live PixelParty event.
1. Scan the code
Your event opens in the browser already on their phone. Nothing to install.
2. Choose what to share
Photos and video from the camera roll, the disposable camera, or a voice message.
3. It lands in your gallery
Everything in one place, with reactions, albums and full-resolution downloads.
Switching
How to move across without losing anything
Four steps, and the first one matters more than the other three put together.
Download what you already have
Whatever you are moving from, export your photos and videos at full resolution first and keep your own copy. Do this before you cancel anything.
Create your PixelParty event
Name it, pick a date, choose a look. You get a QR code and a short event link straight away, and you can get started for free.
Test it on one real person
Send them the code and watch them use it. Ten seconds of watching somebody else is worth an hour of reading feature lists.
Reprint before the deadline
Signs, place cards, orders of service. Get the new code onto the stationery while there is still time, not the week of the wedding.
Before you commit
Five things to check on any provider
Including us. These are the questions that separate products from websites, and they take about five minutes to answer.
- How long does the gallery stay open, and does that cover uploading as well as downloading? Some providers quote a hosting window that is longer than the window guests can actually upload in.
- Can you export everything at full resolution, as many times as you like? If the export is capped, compressed or one-time, the photos are not really yours.
- Do guests need an app or an account? Anything a guest has to install is a guest who does not upload. Test it on somebody before you print.
- Who is the registered company behind it? PixelParty is PIXELPARTY GROUP LTD, company number SC854567, on the UK register. Look up whoever else you are considering too.
- Can you reach a human before you buy? Send a question and time the reply. It is the most useful test available to you.

Questions
Frequently asked questions
Is Kululu any good?
Yes. It is a real product from a real company with a published rating and a large customer base. This page exists because you searched for an alternative, not because there is anything wrong with them.
What is the main difference?
PixelParty publishes a 12 or 24 month gallery window and includes a disposable camera mode with filters. Kululu sells across more occasion types and offers a separate digital guestbook product.
Try it before you decide
Getting started is free and takes about two minutes. Put the code in front of one person and watch what happens.
