After the celebrations:a little look back.
When automation is available, a recap suggestion may be created 1 to 3 days after the occasion. It needs AI photo analysis enabled, enough suitable photos, remaining recap allowance and no recap already in progress. You can also start it yourself, check the preview and share the film. Spotlight recaps have an EventDrop watermark.

From Advent to January 6
Spotlight stays online for 90 days. That covers Advent, Christmas, New Year and January 6. You do not need a new album for every gathering.

Download all photos with one click
Download your collected photos as a ZIP and share them with your family. Bulk download is included in Spotlight.
Join in from abroad too
Send relatives the upload link. They open it in their browser and upload their photos, without an app or an account.
Free: Christmas photo tasks for your gathering
Ten photo ideas to take with you, without logging in or creating an album. Choose the tasks that suit your evening with children, grandparents and friends. The same ideas are available as the Christmas family set in your Spotlight album.
- Photograph your laid Christmas table before dinner
- Baking cookies: photograph three cookie cutters
- Show the same tray before and after baking; no tasting required
- Secret Santa or Engerl-Bengerl: photograph wrapped gifts without name labels
- Engerl-Bengerl reveal: show an unwrapped gift on its own, with permission
- At the Christmas market: find three different stars without bystanders in the picture
- At the punch stand: show your mug of punch, alcohol-free punch or tea, without bystanders
- At the cabin evening: discover three wooden details
- At ice stock sport: photograph the final position after a round with the lane at rest
- Optional, regional in the Alps: draw a Krampus or Perchten symbol and photograph it
Taking part is optional. Photos of objects count just as much as photos of people. Photograph people only with their permission and keep bystanders out of the picture.
