A guest scans the code, sends a selfie, and watches a caricature of themselves appear line by line on the big screen. Then it prints, and everyone keeps theirs.
Six steps. No photographer. No queue.
Open your event page, place the QR codes on the tables, and let the night draw itself.
On the big screen or the tables, one scan opens the guest page in any browser. No app, no sign-up.
Solo shot or group shot. Take a selfie on the spot, or choose a photo already on the phone.
A short note lands in a speech balloon, signed with their name, then off it goes.
Drawn stroke by stroke, live on screen — not a filter.
The finished result is sent straight to the phone that scanned the QR code and can also be printed on the spot.
Select the gallery and every guest on the wall comes together in one large printable keepsake.
By the end of the night, the digital wall is complete, filled entirely by your guests. Ready to download. Ready to print. Ready to hang.
What to put on site, how to turn printing on, and a printed frame for the TV. Every step with a picture.
Read the setup guideDrawn in front of everyone, line by line.
No filters, no fades. Just a pen, inking the outline, then brushing in the colour, stroke by stroke. This is the real thing — live in your browser, exactly as it appears on the big screen.

beforeA playful hand-drawn cartoon, inked and coloured live.
beforeA clean, studio-lit portrait, cut out for a cohesive wall.
beforeA hand-painted look: watercolour, oil, ink or gouache.
Each guest is sprayed onto the big screen the way a street artist works: can in hand, colour by colour, with paint drips, on a concrete wall. It costs the same as a caricature: one picture per guest.
Outline, colours, drips: the room watches every coat go on, with the hiss of the can if you switch the sound on.
beforeThe whole wall is concrete, and so are the downloads and the prints. Prefer the print on white? That is one setting.
beforeThe message goes in a sprayed speech balloon and the name becomes a graffiti tag, checked letter by letter.
Switch an event to Halloween or Christmas and every guest gets a seasonal look, in any style. Guests can pick their favourite of two looks on their phone, and the big screen wears the season too. Included, at one picture per guest.
beforeGuests come dressed up, and their costume and face paint are drawn just as they wear them, with pumpkins, bats and Halloween colours. Fun, never scary.
beforeA Santa hat on every guest, or wrapped presents piled at their feet, in Christmas red and green.
beforeCaricature, painted, graffiti or relit photo: the season goes into each, and the face stays the guest's own.
Every guest, one printable keepsake to frame or share. Visibility of the poster is up to the moderator: share the wall with everyone, or keep it private for the client only.
Five things you can switch on.
Everything below is off by default and billed monthly, so you can stop any of it at any time. Pictures and events work without any of it, so nothing here is a thing you have to buy to start.
Every guest can download a video of their own caricature being drawn, straight from the gallery beside their picture.
Guest keepsakeAn extra on top of the videos. When the drawing finishes the character carries on moving, waving, blowing a kiss, raising a glass, whatever you write in the box.
Add-on to videosGalleries close three months after the event. With this they stay open for as long as you keep it, across every event on your account.
Whole accountYour brand instead of ours, everywhere your guests look: your logo, colours and font, your own web address, emails to your guests from your own domain, and your icon in the browser tab. Guests never see GuestGrin. And a designer for the whole wall: lights, background, glows, the scan panel, fonts, the wording on screen, and what the guest's phone shows afterwards, all previewed live. Set it per event, so a wedding and a company party never look alike.
Your brand, per eventAdd your own wish to every drawing at an event: a party hat on everyone, an astronaut suit, the company colours. It dresses the picture and sets the scene; it does not change the drawing style or the face, and it is followed as far as the likeness allows. Our drawing prompt stays ours; your line goes on top.
Per event, in your wordsBuilt for the moments people remember.
The same live wall, tuned to what your event actually needs.
Every guest becomes a caricature with a message, far more fun than a book no one signs. Turn the finished wall into a framed A3 or A2 (12×16 or 18×24 in) poster keepsake. And because every photo and message is moderated, the master of ceremonies never sweats a rude surprise on the big screen.
Kids and grown-ups line up to see themselves being drawn. The wall fills as the party goes, everyone downloads their own picture afterwards, and the birthday guest of honour gets a poster of the whole crowd.
A talking point at the entrance that gets people mingling. Choose the playful caricature look or clean, relit team photos for a polished company wall, add your logo to the poster, and follow up with a downloadable gallery of every attendee.
Bar and bat mitzvahs, quinceañeras and sweet 16s: guests line up to be drawn, the guest of honour takes home a keepsake poster of everyone, and it keeps a big room happily busy, with every photo and message moderated so nothing awkward hits the screen.
You design the poster. You decide when guests get it.
The wall belongs to your guests. The final keepsake is yours to perfect.
Drag any picture, swap one out, or snap them into a tidy grid.
Add your logo and a title, choose from a dozen fonts, then size and align.
See exactly what the A3 or A2 (12×16 or 18×24 in) print will look like before you commit.
Guests can only download the poster once you switch it live, nothing is shared before you approve it.
A photo booth's perfect plus-one.
It shines on its own, and it's the ideal add-on right beside a photo booth, a live, shared wall of art your guests build together and take home.
A two-stage performance: the linework inks on with the pen, then each colour is brushed in. Guests stay to watch.
Every photo and message is screened, no nudity, no public figures, no rude text making it onto the wall.
Export the finished wall as an A3 or A2 (12×16 or 18×24 in) poster, PNG or print-ready PDF, with your own logo in the header.
Pick a shape for the wall, or let it grow by itself as more guests join. Nobody gets turned away.
Each caricature lands in a shareable web gallery, so guests can download their own long after the lights come up.
A browser is all you need, a TV, a projector, a tablet. No app for guests, no photographer to hire, no kit to rent.
Rearrange or remove any caricature from the dashboard. The live wall updates within seconds.
The guest page greets people in their own language automatically, so nobody's fumbling with instructions.
A rotating code on the screen means each guest gets their own moment, no chaos, no double drawings.
Event photos, short videos, caricature examples, a print-ready flyer and roll-up banner, and the editable design files. Free with every account, for selling your own events.
You've got a hundred things to watch. What goes up on the big screen shouldn't be one of them. GuestGrin is designed so an MC, planner or host can set it once and trust it all night.
Start the wall before anyone arrives.
Most events go live on the night itself, with guests scanning the QR as they walk in. But you can flip the order: email your guest list a link in the weeks beforehand, so the photos arrive early and the wall is already full by the time the doors open — with extra time for the printed poster to reach you too.
Paste in your guests' email addresses, and each one receives their own link. Add more names later — only the new additions get emailed.
See at a glance who has added a photo, and send a quick reminder to those who haven't, so no one slips through the cracks before the event.
With photos in early, there's room to order the printed poster and have it delivered before the event, instead of chasing it down afterwards.
Pictures when you need them, or one plan with everything.
You pay per finished picture. Buy a pack that fits your guest count, unused pictures don't expire, and there's nothing to cancel. Or take the All-in plan: 300 pictures every month and every extra included, nothing added on top.
300 pictures every month and every extra included, nothing added on top. Cancel any time; unused pictures carry over.

No. Guests scan a QR code that opens a normal web page in their phone browser. There's nothing to download and no account to create, they snap a selfie and they're on the wall.
A screen with a browser (a TV, a projector or a tablet) showing your event's page, and a printed QR code on the tables or an easel. That's it. No photographer, no booth, no rental kit.
Yes. Every uploaded photo and every typed message is checked before it's drawn, filtering out nudity, graphic content, recognisable public figures and offensive text. Nothing reaches the big screen unmoderated, and you can remove anything from the dashboard instantly.
Absolutely. Export the finished wall as an A3 or A2 (12×16 or 18×24 in) poster, PNG or a print-ready PDF, with your own logo in the header. Take it to any copyshop, or frame it as a keepsake.
You choose. Set a fixed shape (say 5×5), or turn on auto-expand and the grid keeps growing as more guests join, so a busy event never turns anyone away.
Yes, and per event, so a wedding and a company party never have to look alike. Set your logo, your colours, your font and the name guests see, then put it all on your own web address, either a guestgrin.com subdomain or a domain you already own. The emails your guests get can come from your own domain too, and your logo goes on the printable poster and the gallery you share afterwards.
On their own phone, in the same page they use to send a selfie. The message is hand-lettered into a speech bubble, and the name is signed underneath.
Every finished picture lands in the event gallery and downloads at full size, so nobody loses theirs by closing a page. You get the whole set afterwards, plus the wall as a printable poster. The gallery stays up for three months, or for good on the storage plan.
Yes. The gallery has a link where anyone can order the finished wall as a poster or a framed print, and it ships to almost every country in the world. Each print is made at a lab near the delivery address, so it arrives quickly instead of flying a frame across an ocean. You earn on every order as well: your share comes back as free pictures for your next event.
Yes, with the video plan switched on. The drawing everyone watched on the big screen is rebuilt as a video file, the same strokes in the same order, and guests download it from the gallery next to their picture. It works for caricatures and painted portraits. Relit photos are not drawn, so there is nothing to record.
Yes, with living caricatures added on top of the video plan. When the drawing finishes, the character carries on moving: waving, blowing a kiss, raising a glass, whatever you write in the box. You set the words once per event and every guest's video ends that way.
Three months after the event, free, downloading at full size the whole time. The storage plan keeps every gallery in your account online for as long as you have it. Either way we email you twice before anything comes down, so nothing disappears on you quietly.
Yes, with white label. Your logo, your colours, your font, your own web address instead of ours (a name under guestgrin.com or a domain you already own), emails to your guests from your own domain, and your icon in the browser tab. Guests never see GuestGrin. You can set it per event too, so a wedding and a company party never have to look alike.
Only if you want one. Pictures are bought in packs and never expire, and there is nothing to cancel. If you run events every month, the All-in plan is the other way round: 300 pictures a month and every extra included, for one price, cancelled whenever you like. Any extra you were paying for separately stops renewing the moment the plan starts.
About a minute to draw, then it plays out on the big screen for roughly another forty seconds. Everything is made in the cloud, so the room needs a working internet connection, venue wifi is normally fine.
Set up your first event in a couple of minutes. Try it free, you only pay once the caricatures start flowing.
