How it works
Set it up once. Your guests do the rest.
Setting up a graduation gallery takes about two minutes: name the event, add a cover photo, and choose whether guests can send photos, videos and voice. You get one QR code and a short link to share. Place the code where guests gather, and memories arrive all night into your private gallery — with no app to download and no account for anyone to create.
- *Create your graduation event — name it, add a cover, pick photo, video and voice.
- *Print and place the QR — welcome table, tables, or a quick announcement.
- *Relive it forever — everything lands in a private vault you keep.
Every angle
The moments no single camera catches.
The best graduation moments are almost always the unplanned ones — caught by the people in the room, from angles no hired photographer can reach. When every guest is a camera, you stop relying on one person's viewpoint and start collecting the whole night: the reactions across the room, the small candid moments, and the short clips that turn out to matter most.
- *The walk and the cap toss.
- *Short clips of the family cheering.
- *Voice messages from relatives who couldn't fly in.
Private & yours
A private gallery — not a public feed.
Gooya is write-only for guests: they send their own photos and videos and never browse what everyone else uploaded, so nothing turns into a public feed during your event. You stay in control — decide when (or whether) guests see the gallery, hide or remove anything you don't want, and download every original in one ZIP whenever you like. The memories are private, and they're yours to keep.
- *Write-only for guests — no public posts, no comparing.
- *Host-controlled reveal — seal it, then open it together.
- *One-click ZIP download keeps your own backup.
Capture the ceremony and the party
One code for the walk and the celebration after.
Graduations have two halves — the ceremony, where you're stuck in your seat far from the stage, and the party after. A QR gallery covers both: family in the crowd capture the walk and cap toss from their angle, then everyone adds the party photos and videos to the same place. You end up with the whole day, not just the few shots one person got.
- *The walk and cap toss, from family in the seats.
- *The party after, from every guest's phone.
- *Both halves of the day in one gallery.
Family who couldn't fly in
Relatives far away can still be part of it.
Not everyone can travel for a graduation. With Gooya, anyone with the link can send a photo from their library and record a voice message of congratulations — so distant grandparents and relatives still appear in the gallery. The grad opens it later to find well-wishes from people who couldn't be in the room.
- *Anyone with the link can contribute remotely.
- *Voice messages of congratulations from afar.
- *The grad sees everyone who celebrated them.
Where to put the QR
At the party, put it where people gather and toast.
For the graduation party, place the code at the food table, the bar, and near any photo backdrop or decorated wall. Add a line that invites a spoken note: "leave a message for the grad." Guests scan most during toasts and the cake/dessert moment, so a code in eyeline there does the work for you.
- *Food and drinks tables — natural lingering spots.
- *Near a photo backdrop or decorated wall.
- *A prompt: "record a message for the grad."
Gooya vs a hashtag
A hashtag misses the photos guests never post.
A graduation hashtag only collects what people choose to post publicly — and most of the best candids never get posted. A QR code gives every guest one private action: scan and send, including camera-roll moments they'd never put on social. The grad gets the complete set, not just the handful that made it to Instagram.
- *Catches the camera-roll shots guests don't post.
- *Private to the family, not a public feed.
- *No social account required to take part.
After the day
A keepsake for a milestone worth keeping.
Export the full gallery in one ZIP — every photo, video and voice message in original quality. A graduation is a milestone families revisit, so keep the vault active and the day stays a click away for years, instead of scattering across phones and expiring inside a chat thread.
- *One-click ZIP of all originals.
- *Keep the vault for a milestone you'll revisit.
- *Your files, your backup, no lock-in.
Two locations, one gallery
The ceremony and the party feed the same album.
Graduations split across a campus or arena and then a party at home or a restaurant. One QR code and link work across both — family at the ceremony capture the walk and cap toss from their seats, then everyone adds the party photos later from the same link. You don't run two collections; you get the whole day, both halves, in one place the grad opens afterward.
- *The same link works at the venue and the party.
- *Ceremony angles from family in the crowd.
- *Party photos and clips added to the same album.
What the grad opens later
Everyone who showed up, in one reveal.
When the dust settles, the grad opens a single gallery: the walk from family angles, the cap toss, the party, and voice messages of congratulations — including from relatives who couldn't fly in. It's a complete record of a milestone, downloadable in full resolution and kept for years, instead of a scattered handful of texts that disappear into a phone.
- *The full day, plus remote well-wishes.
- *Voice congratulations from family near and far.
- *Downloaded, owned, and kept as a milestone.
