Breakdown: The Four Types of Foto Owl Access Links
Guest Access Link – “Show Me Just My Moments”
Perfect for events with hundreds (or thousands) of guests, this link gives each person access to only the photos they appear in—thanks to powerful AI face recognition. It's personal, private, and makes every guest feel seen (literally).
Why It's Awesome:

- Add a PIN if you want extra privacy, and share it instantly via QR, email, or WhatsApp.
- It’s perfect for weddings, school functions, marathons, or any event with a crowd. Everyone gets their own curated gallery, making them feel like the star of the show—without ever seeing someone else’s spotlight.
Full Access Link – “Give Me Everything”
Sometimes, your client wants to see it all and with this link, they can. Whether it’s a wedding couple, a corporate team, or a family booking a full shoot, this link gives complete access to every single photo from the event.
