The problem
Your guides take great photos. Almost nobody gets them.
Guides spend the tour capturing genuine moments — panoramas, candid laughs, the perfect action shot. Then what? Email? Less than 20% of guests open it. Photo package upsell links? Clunky, felt commercial, ignored.
AirDrop works for three people before the group disperses. The guide manually sends to a group chat and it takes 15 minutes. By the time photos reach guests — if they do at all — the moment has passed and the content is never shared.

How it works
Three steps. Zero effort from your guide.
01
Guide uploads photos
At the end of the tour your guide opens the inPlace app, taps upload, and selects photos or videos from their camera roll. Takes about 60 seconds.
02
Photos are auto-branded
Every photo is instantly watermarked with your operator logo and resized for optimal sharing. No manual editing. No Photoshop.
03
Guests scan QR → instant WhatsApp delivery
A session QR code appears on your guide's screen. Guests scan it, share their WhatsApp number, and receive the full branded gallery within seconds.
Features
Everything included. Nothing to configure.
Auto-watermarking
Your logo is stamped on every photo the moment your guide uploads. No Photoshop, no manual steps.
QR code delivery
One QR code per session. Guests scan it at the end of the tour — photos arrive instantly via WhatsApp.
WhatsApp delivery (98% open rate)
Photos land in the guest's WhatsApp in seconds. Compare that to email's sub-20% open rate.
72-hour gallery access
Guests revisit their gallery for 72 hours — urgency drives immediate downloads and social shares with your watermark.
Social sharing optimised
Photos are resized to ideal dimensions for Instagram, Facebook, and WhatsApp stories before delivery.
Sponsor or self-fund
Pay $49/mo standalone, bundle for $119/mo with all tools, or get it free with a local sponsor covering the cost.
Supported formats
Social reach calculator
Every shared photo is a branded ad you didn't pay for.
When guests share watermarked photos on Instagram or in WhatsApp groups, your operator name reaches an audience you'd otherwise pay to advertise to. Adjust the sliders to estimate your monthly brand impressions.

How we compare
Every other option has a catch.
PicThrive & Fotaflo
Designed for photo resorts and ski areas, not walking tours. Email-only delivery with weak open rates.
Email & manual
No cost, but no brand value either. Guests forget to open it. Photos arrive without your logo.
inPlace Photos
Built for tour operators. WhatsApp delivery, auto-watermarking, 72-hour gallery. Can be $0/mo with a local sponsor.
"We used to AirDrop photos to half the group and hope the rest got them in the WhatsApp chat. With inPlace, every single guest gets them in seconds — and they all have our logo on them. We've had people tag us on Instagram with our branded photos. That never happened before."

Common questions about inPlace Photos
Photos: JPEG, PNG, WebP, and HEIC (iPhone native). Videos: MP4, MOV, and WebM. Each file can be up to 50MB and you can upload up to 50 files per session. All photos are auto-resized for optimal WhatsApp delivery and social sharing.
When you set up your account, you upload your operator logo. Every photo uploaded by your guide is automatically watermarked with your logo before it reaches the guest. On the sponsored plan, a small inPlace icon and URL is added alongside your branding — like a "powered by" credit.
Each photo gallery is available for 72 hours from the day the guide uploads the session. After that the gallery expires automatically. Guests can download and save any photo or video to their device before it expires.
WhatsApp has over 2 billion active users — coverage across most tour markets is above 90%. For guests without it, your guide can share the gallery link directly (via SMS, email, or AirDrop) from the upload confirmation screen. The gallery link works in any browser.
Yes. All uploaded photos are accessible from your operator dashboard. You can download originals, original watermarked versions, or social-optimised exports at any time during the 72-hour window. Many operators use guest photos as authentic marketing content — already branded with their logo.
