Widget options: upload-only, gallery, or full

The embed widget can do two jobs on your website: collect photos and show them off. It comes in three modes depending on which jobs you want on the page, and a small set of customization options makes it blend into the site you already designed.

The three modes

Mode	What guests see	Best for
Upload Only	An upload box (“Guests can upload photos and videos”), no gallery	Keeping your site clean, or keeping uploads private until you’ve reviewed them
Gallery Only	A live gallery of collected photos, no upload box	A “photos” page after the wedding, or a page where uploads would be a distraction
Full Widget	Upload + Gallery combined	Most couples: guests upload and immediately see their photo appear

New widgets are created as the full widget. The dashboard’s Widget tab does not currently offer a mode switch, so the full widget is what your site gets today; the other two modes describe how the widget behaves when its mode is set differently.

In every mode the widget resizes itself to fit your page (no scrollbars), and in the gallery views guests can tap any photo to open it full-size, browse by album, and follow the View All link to your photo collection page.

Customization options

Set these on the Widget tab of your embed event. Changes save automatically and show up in the Live preview on the right:

• Accent color: pick from six curated swatches or use the custom color picker to match your website’s palette. The upload button and highlights use this color.
• Button text: the big call to action, “Share Your Photos” by default. Keep it short and action-shaped (“Add your photos!”).
• Wedibox branding: the small “powered by” footer. It shows on the Free plan and is removed automatically on Starter and Premium; there is no toggle.
• Upload cap: the Free plan collects up to 50 uploads; paid plans are unlimited. Guests see a “X / 50 uploads used” counter as the cap approaches.

Privacy settings sit in the same panel and apply to the widget and your photo collection page alike: Allow Anonymous Uploads (guests can skip the name field), Require Password to Upload with its Password field, and HIDE LIVE FEED FROM GUESTS (guests can upload, but only you see the gallery).

Choose which mode?

• Choose Upload Only if you want moderation-style control or a minimalist site. Pair it with the photo collection page link for viewing.
• Choose Gallery Only if uploads happen elsewhere (QR to the collection page) and your website is the display case.
• Choose Full Widget if in doubt. Seeing photos appear is what makes guests add their own.

FAQ

Does the widget clash with my website’s design? It inherits nothing from your site except the space you give it; set the accent color to match and it reads as native.

Can guests upload without typing their name? Yes. Turn on Allow Anonymous Uploads. Otherwise the widget asks for Your Name with each upload.

Can I stop strangers from uploading? Turn on Require Password to Upload and share the password with guests (put it next to the QR code or link).

Do videos work? Yes, photos and videos. Video collection follows your event’s upload settings, and the Free plan’s 50-upload cap counts both.
