Share & embed your albums anywhere
Every EventFlick album can be shared with a public link and embedded on your own website in a few minutes — no coding required, and it's included on every plan.
1. Get your album's public link
Open the album you want to share, then expand the Share & Embed panel and turn on Public access. This generates a public link that works for anyone — no EventFlick account or login required.
Anyone with the link can browse and download the album's photos. You can also turn on the hour filter so visitors can narrow photos down by the time they were taken — handy for weddings and other multi-hour events.
If a link ever ends up somewhere you didn't intend, click “Regenerate link” on the album's Share & Embed panel to issue a new URL and invalidate the old one.
2. Choose how to embed it
Pick whichever fits your website — you can always switch later.
Best for: any website builder — one HTML tag, zero setup.
The simplest way to put an album on your own website is an iframe. Your album's Share & Embed panel has a ready-made snippet — copy it as-is, or use the pattern below with your own album token:
<iframe src="https://eventflick.nl/embed/album/{token}"
width="100%" height="600" frameborder="0"
allowfullscreen loading="lazy"></iframe>Paste it anywhere you can add custom HTML: your CMS's HTML block, a page builder's embed element, or straight into a template. The embed resizes itself to fit its content automatically, so you don't need to guess a height.
This works on WordPress, Squarespace, Wix, Webflow, and any custom-built site — anywhere an iframe tag is allowed.
Best for: a native look that matches your site's own fonts and layout.
For a more native look — matching your site's own fonts and layout instead of living inside a boxed frame — use the JavaScript widget instead. Copy the snippet from your album's Share & Embed panel, or adapt the pattern below:
<div id="ef-album"></div>
<script src="https://eventflick.nl/widget/album/{token}.js"
data-target="#ef-album"
data-columns="3"
data-per-page="24"></script>The widget renders a responsive photo grid with a lightbox, pagination, and — if you've enabled it — an hour filter bar, directly on your page, with no iframe involved.
Customization attributes
| Attribute | Default | What it does |
|---|---|---|
| data-target | #ef-album | CSS selector of the element the widget mounts into. |
| data-columns | 3 | Number of grid columns on wider screens. |
| data-columns-mobile | 2 | Number of grid columns on narrow screens. |
| data-per-page | 24 | Photos per page (maximum 50). |
| data-theme | light | light or dark — matches the widget's colors to your page. |
| data-lightbox | true | Set to false to disable the click-to-enlarge lightbox. |
| data-bg | — | Custom background color (any CSS color value), overrides the theme default. |
| data-color | #BA7517 | Accent color used for buttons, active filters, and links. |
The widget shows a small “Powered by EventFlick” credit in its footer.
Best for: WordPress sites — install a plugin, no code to paste.
Running WordPress? Skip pasting code by hand and use the official EventFlick block plugin instead.
- Download the EventFlick WordPress plugin (.zip).
- In your WordPress admin, go to Plugins → Add New → Upload Plugin, install the downloaded file, then activate it.
- In the WordPress editor, add the “EventFlick Album” block wherever you want the gallery to appear.
- Paste your album's token — found next to the WordPress block field in the Share & Embed panel — into the block's settings panel.
Best for: tools that auto-embed a pasted link, like Notion.
Some tools don't need an iframe or a widget snippet at all. Platforms that support the oEmbed standard — including WordPress's built-in embed handling, Notion, and several other blogging and note-taking tools — turn a public album link pasted on its own line into a rich embed automatically.
Behind the scenes, this works by requesting /oembed/album/{token}, which returns the embed HTML as JSON per the oEmbed 1.0 specification.
3. Restrict which sites can embed your album
Once you've made an album public, its iframe and widget can be embedded on any website by default. If you'd rather limit that to your own domain(s) — for example, to stop someone else copying your gallery onto their site — you can restrict it per event:
- Open the event the album belongs to (not the album itself).
- Scroll to the Allowed Embed Domains section — only visible to the event owner and its managers.
- Enter one domain per line, e.g. example.com. Leave it empty to allow embedding on any site.
- Click the Save domains button to apply it.
This applies to every album in that event. Once set, embeds are blocked on any other domain via the browser's Content-Security-Policy, and the widget's API will refuse cross-origin requests from domains that aren't on the list.
Don't see this section? You need to be the event's owner, or a manager added to it, to change embed domains.
