The disposable camera experience
Limited shots make every photo count. No retakes, no endless scrolling, just the trip as it really was.
Always within reach
The camera stays on everyone's lock screen for the whole trip, so it's one tap away at the beach, on the slopes or at dinner. No digging for a link on day five.
Relive the trip together
Watch photos come in during the trip, or save them all for the flight home and see everything at once.

Frequently asked questions
How does Lense work for vacations?
Create your travel event, share your invite link, and everyone can instantly start capturing photos and videos. Every memory is automatically collected in one place, so you never have to chase friends and family for their photos after the trip.
You decide when the photos become visible: keep them hidden until everyone is back home and reveal the complete album together (most popular), let everyone see new photos as the trip happens, or keep the album private until you're ready to share it.
Do my friends and family need to download the Lense app?
Simply share your vacation link before or during your trip. Everyone can join instantly, no app downloads, accounts or sign-ups required.
If they want, they can optionally add their email address to receive a notification when your vacation album is revealed.
Why use Lense instead of a group chat or Google Photos?
But WhatsApp compresses your photos, iCloud shared albums work poorly between iPhone and Android, and Google Photos makes everyone create an account.
In a group chat, photos also get buried and people forget to send theirs.
Lense collects every photo and video from the trip in one shared album, on any phone and without accounts, so you never have to chase anyone afterwards.
Does Lense work without the internet while travelling?
Everyone only needs an internet connection once to join your holiday album.
After joining, photos can still be captured without the internet and will automatically upload when a connection becomes available again.
This makes Lense perfect for road trips, flights, remote destinations and places with unreliable reception.
Can people add photos after the vacation?
Friends and family can continue uploading photos and videos after the trip ends.
This means those forgotten photos from the last day, airport journey or delayed uploads can still become part of your complete vacation album.
Does Lense work on iPhone and Android?
Lense works on virtually every modern smartphone, including both iPhone and Android devices.
Everyone joins the same shared vacation album through your invite link, making it easy to combine photos from the entire travel group, regardless of which phone they use.
Can I try Lense before purchasing?
Create your vacation album for free, explore the features, and see exactly how Lense works before upgrading.
You'll only pay when you're ready to use Lense for your trip.
When should I create my vacation album?
Many travellers create their shared vacation album before departure so everyone can join before the trip begins. But you can also set everything up while travelling, it only takes a couple of minutes.
Can everyone upload photos and videos to the same album?
Everyone in your travel group can capture new moments or upload existing photos and videos from their camera roll.
From airport selfies and road trip views to beach days and dinners together, Lense helps collect the complete story of your journey.
Can I limit how many photos everyone can take?
You decide how your vacation album works.
Set a capture limit if you want the nostalgic feeling of a traditional disposable camera, or enable unlimited captures and let everyone contribute as many memories as they want.
How many people can join my vacation album?
Lense works for every type of trip, from a weekend away with friends to a large family holiday.
Everyone can contribute to the same shared vacation album without creating multiple folders or conversations.
Can I see everyone's travel photos during the trip?
Photos and videos appear in your dashboard as soon as they are uploaded.
You decide whether everyone can view memories instantly during the trip, reveal everything after you return home, or keep the album private.
Can I review photos before everyone sees them?
You stay in control of your shared vacation album. Before photos become visible, you can review uploads and remove anything you don't want to include.
Lense also helps filter inappropriate content, keeping your album enjoyable for everyone.
Who owns the vacation photos?
Every photo and video uploaded to your Lense album belongs to you.
Your memories remain available for 12 months, and you can download individual photos or your complete vacation album whenever you want, at no extra cost.
Can everyone download and share the vacation photos?
After your trip, everyone can download their favourite travel memories and share them with friends and family.
Your entire group gets to keep the moments they helped create.
