FAQ

In Case
You’re Curious

What is Once and how does it work?

Once is a film style photo app that lets you invite friends or family to capture special moments from their own perspectives. It is a shared space where every photo tells the same story from different eyes.

How do I create a film on Once?

Simply download the app, name your film, and set a duration. Think of it as a shared drive made for photos, where everyone can easily upload and collect memories together.

Can friends join without creating an account?

Yes. Friends can join a film through a link or QR code without installation or sign up. After the film is complete, if they wish to keep or download their photos, they can create an account and their uploads will automatically transfer.

Who can see the photos I upload?

That is up to the film creator. When setting up the film, they can decide whether photos are visible only to themselves or to everyone who joined. No one outside the invited group can access the film.

How long does it take for a film to develop?

You decide the duration such as a few hours, a day, or a week. Once the set time is up, everyone can view the film together.

Can I download my photos after the film develops?

Yes. Once your film is complete, you can log in and download your photos anytime from your profile.

What kinds of moments is Once best for?

Once is perfect for birthdays, weddings, trips, Christmas gatherings, or even everyday life. It is made for anyone who wants to remember and share moments that matter.

Why is it called Once?

Because every moment in life happens only once. We wanted to create a place where those moments could be captured through the eyes of the people who matter most so they become not just memories but shared treasures.

Life happens Once.
Don’t let it fade away.
