How long does it take to download all wedding guest photos?

It depends on gallery size, but because the export runs as a background job, you don't need to wait around — you can start it and come back once it's ready.

Is there a limit to how many photos I can download at once?

Most platforms, including Snapsy, are built to handle full-event exports regardless of guest count, since the download runs as a background process rather than a single large in-browser action.

Can guests download their own photos separately from the couple's export?

Yes, guests can typically browse and save their own uploads, or photos they appear in, independent of when the couple runs a full bulk download.

What file format do bulk downloads come in?

Bulk exports are typically packaged as a single compressed file containing all the original photos and videos guests uploaded.
