Inviting Students to Upload

Student Self-Upload

Instead of uploading all photos yourself, you can send each student a unique link to upload their own baby and current photos. This is ideal when students or parents have the baby photos.

How It Works

1. Create a project and choose "Students upload their own" in the project setup wizard.
2. On the project page, you will see the invite setup panel.
3. Choose what to collect: baby photo only, current photo only, or both.
4. Set a deadline (optional) so students know when to submit by.
5. Paste your student list from Excel or Google Sheets, or upload a CSV file.
6. Click "Create Invites" to generate a unique upload link for each student.

Adding Students

You can add students in two ways:

• Paste from a spreadsheet: Copy rows from Excel or Google Sheets directly into the paste box. Include columns for first name, last name, and email.
• Upload a CSV file: Upload a .csv file with columns: first_name, last_name, email.

You can add up to 200 students at a time. If you need to add more students later, you can do so from the tracking dashboard.

Sending Invites

After creating invites, click "Send Invites" to email each student their unique upload link. Students do not need an account — the link gives them direct access to upload.

If email is unreliable (e.g. school spam filters), you can copy individual links or copy all links to share via Google Classroom, Teams, or WhatsApp.

What Students See

Each student receives a simple, mobile-friendly page where they can:

• See their name and what photos are needed
• Upload photos from their camera or gallery
• Take a selfie for their current photo
• Re-upload photos until submissions close
