Name it and choose when it opens: 6 hours for the same night, 24 hours for the morning after.
Direct answer
What is Sealed for a birthday?
Sealed is a birthday party photo app where up to 30 guests join one capsule with a six-character code, shoot live photos from their own phones without seeing them, and open everything together 6 hours, 24 hours, 3 days or 7 days later. It is free to download on iPhone and Android and the first capsule is free.
Shot live, never chosenNo camera-roll imports. Every photo is taken in the moment, without a preview.
Sealed until openingThe Sealed server never shows a photo before the capsule opens, not even to the person who took it.
One reveal for everyoneThe capsule unlocks for every member at the same moment, with a soundtrack-backed montage and a polaroid wall.
How it works
One code. Four moves.
One reveal worth the wait.
No album to sort while the cake is on the table. Create the capsule, share the code and let Sealed hold the surprise.
Share the code with the guests
Everyone installs Sealed, enters the code or opens your link and adds a first name. No account needed.
Shoot blind all night
Cake, speeches, dance floor: every photo goes straight into the capsule, with no preview and no do-over.
Open it together
The capsule unlocks for everyone at once: montage with soundtrack, polaroid wall and Wrapped recap. Save the keepers to your library.

Good questions
Before you
seal the party.
Everything worth knowing, without the tiny print.
Do guests need an account?+
No. Guests install Sealed, enter the code or open the link, type a first name and start shooting. Nobody has to create an account to join or to create a capsule.
Can the birthday kid see the photos early?+
No. Not even the person who created the capsule can see a photo before the opening time. That is what makes the reveal a gift.
When does the capsule open?+
You choose at creation: 6 hours, 24 hours, 3 days or 7 days. It opens for everyone at the same moment and the time cannot be changed afterwards.
Where are the photos stored?+
Photos of a shared capsule go to the Sealed server so that every member sees the same reveal. The server never shows a photo before opening, not even to the person who took it, and everything in a shared capsule is deleted 30 days after it opens.
Can guests add photos from their camera roll?+
No. Every photo is shot live inside Sealed, without preview or filter. That is what keeps the reveal honest.
How much does Sealed cost?+
Sealed is free to download on iPhone and Android and the first capsule is free. After that, creating more capsules needs Sealed Plus, a subscription shown at your store’s price inside the app. Joining a capsule never costs anything.
One capsule. One party.One reveal worth waiting for.
Create the capsule before the guests arrive, share the code with the cake and open it together the morning after. Free on iPhone and Android, first capsule included.
