What is a photo sharing website?

Answered by the UK Wedding Websites editorial team · Updated 2026-10-12 · For parents

Short answer

A photo sharing website is an online place where you upload images so others can view or download them. It lets many people see wedding pictures without big files.

These sites give you a link or a private gallery that you can send to family and friends. You upload your wedding photos and set who may look. Some allow comments or likes, while others keep things quiet and simple.

For a UK wedding, a shared gallery works well for distant relatives and out-of-town guests. You can organise pictures by event, such as the morning prep, the ceremony, the drinks reception and the evening party. Guests can also upload their own snaps if you give them permission.

Keep these points in mind before you start:

  • Choose a site that works on phones, since most guests will view on mobile.
  • Decide whether uploads need your approval before they go live.
  • Set an end date if you do not want the gallery open forever.
  • Check that the site stores images in good quality so prints stay sharp.

Privacy matters, so avoid public links that search engines can find. A private, password protected gallery is usually the safest choice for your family day.
