A photo album tied to the whole wedding website

Joy and Migumento are both QR photo albums for celebrations. Joy throws in the photo album with the wedding website — with us, the album is the whole product, with no app requirement and with real video upload.

Joy doesn’t sell a standalone photo album: it’s one part of the free wedsite suite made up of a website, RSVP and gift registry. Anyone who just wants to collect photos still gets the whole platform — including the app requirement for the guest book.

Guest videos run exclusively as embedded YouTube or Vimeo links: ‘Joy supports videos hosted on YouTube and Vimeo.’ There is no direct video upload.

Joy is a provider from the USA (withjoy.com); Migumento has no connection to Joy.

What Migumento stands for

Originals, not copies

Every item is stored exactly as it left the camera — up to 50 MB per photo and 1 GB per video, nothing shrunk. When you download it, you get back exactly that file.

An album that looks like your celebration

46 palettes in light and dark, 9 fonts, your own cover photo. Plus 23 table card templates, ten cards per A4 sheet, printed from the browser.

Uploads that arrive, even with no signal

If the connection drops, the upload picks up where it stopped — not from the start. The queue survives a restart and, with no signal, waits until there’s reception again.

Guests have nothing to install

Open the link, type a first name, upload — in any phone’s browser, in Deutsch, English, Français, Italiano, Español. No account, no password, no email invite.

Every plan does everything

Live Wall on the projector, 450 photo tasks for 9 occasions, several albums per event, every photo can be moderated — from the free plan up. The plan sets the size of the event, not the features.

After the celebration, the photos are yours

Download everything as a ZIP, or copy it straight into your own Google Photos or Google Drive. After that, you don’t need us any more.

Always included with Migumento

This is included with every event — on every plan, from the first photo.

All guests, all photos and videos — no cap on guests, no cap on photos, no licence per guest.
Video is included from the free plan — no surcharge, no higher plan needed.
Original quality: up to 50 MB per photo, up to 1 GB per video, nothing gets scaled down.
Live Wall as its own link — one tab on the projector, no extra purchase.
Multiple albums per event, and you can move items between them afterwards.
Moderation: hide any item — reversibly — or delete it.
Downloads up to 400 MB are free; once unlocked, you download all the originals.
60 days money back, no subscription — a plan gives more storage and months, Unlimited also your own header, and every plan does everything.
Every guest sees the album in their own language — Deutsch, English, Français, Italiano, Español — and the terms and the emails are in the same one.
Your file stays your file: we save it unchanged — and whether other people’s downloads leave out location and device data is yours to set for the event.

Where Joy scores

Photos stay forever, free. According to the provider, they end up ‘forever, on your private website’ — no expiry date to remember. With us, a free album stays open for 6 months; after that it needs a purchase, and nothing is deleted.
A guest book of its own. Photos and messages land together in the app’s Moments guest book; with us there are reactions and comments on the photo, but no guest book of its own.

The verdict

Anyone who wants to build a free wedding website with RSVP and gift registry anyway, and can live with an app requirement for the guest book, has found what they need at Joy. Anyone who just wants the photo album — with no app requirement for guests and without the rest of the suite — is better off with us.

When Joy is the better choice

You’re planning a wedding website anyway: with Joy the album costs nothing extra, because the provider is funded by commissions from the gift registry, and according to the provider the photos stay ‘forever’.

Migumento is free until the event grows past 400 MB

The free plan is not a trial run: all guests, all photos, all videos, the Live Wall — and up to 400 MB of event size you download the originals too, for 6 months. For bigger celebrations there are one-off plans with 12 or 24 months from the unlock. No subscription.

Common questions

What does Joy cost, what does Migumento cost?

There: USD 0 — the photo album is part of the free Wedsite package, no separate purchase price. With us, collecting is free; unlocking is a one-off from £17.

Can I switch from Joy to Migumento?

Yes: download there, upload again here. There’s no automatic transfer.

Do our guests need an app or an account?

Not with us — the link is enough, and the first upload asks for a first name. And at Joy, without an app or an account? According to the FAQ, uploads to the website need the Joy app; the guest book needs an account on top.

When does the access period start, and how long does the album stay online?

There: unlimited — according to the provider, photos stay permanently on the private website. With us 12 or 24 months from the unlock (the day of payment), depending on the plan; if the free window — 6 months from the day you create the event — runs longer, the later date applies. Extending gives the plan’s months again from the day of the extension, as often as you like. Collecting is free, so the best time to unlock is after the celebration.

Is there a free Joy alternative?

Yes, Migumento. Creating an event, collecting, viewing and the Live Wall cost nothing, for 6 months, no card. You only pay for downloads above 400 MB or for more than 6 months online — a one-off payment, no subscription.

Do our photos and videos keep their quality?

Yes. We store every file unchanged, up to 50 MB per photo and 1 GB per video. When you download it, you get back exactly the file your guest uploaded.
