Uploading Photos & Videos
Uploading clips from iPhone
The fastest way to move 500+ vertical clips from your iPhone into the gallery.
You'll move hundreds of clips off an iPhone at a venue without losing one.
Quick answer
Open the event in Safari, tap Upload → Photo Library, select your clips and tap Add. Files enter a resumable queue stored on the device, so a dropped venue network never restarts a transfer.
Quick steps
- 1.Open the event in Safari on your iPhone.
- 2.Tap Upload → Photo Library and select clips.
- 3.Keep the tab in the foreground while it transfers.
- 4.Retry anything marked Failed before you leave.

Before you begin
Prerequisites
- An event created in your dashboard
Aisle is iPhone-first. There's nothing to install — uploads run in Safari and are tuned for the terrible networks weddings happen on.
Event
Amelia & James
Keep screen open · wake-lock on
Start the upload
- 1Open the event on your iPhone in Safari.
- 2Tap Upload, then Photo Library.
- 3Select the clips you want to deliver.
- 4Tap Add. Each file joins the queue and starts transferring.
Read the queue
- 1Queued — recorded, waiting for a slot.
- 2Uploading — chunks moving; progress is real.
- 3Processing — arrived; previews and posters being generated.
- 4Ready — live in the gallery.
- 5Failed — tap Retry.
Keep it running
Aisle holds a wake lock so the screen won't sleep, and resumes from the last completed chunk when the network changes. Switching from venue Wi-Fi to 5G mid-upload is safe.
On iPhoneiOS can suspend a backgrounded tab after a few minutes — keep Safari in the foreground during big batches.
Common mistakes
- Switching apps mid-upload — iOS can background Safari.
- Force-quitting Safari to 'restart' a slow upload.
- Leaving the venue with files still Uploading.
Pro tips
- Plug into power before starting a 200+ clip upload.
- Disable Low Power Mode — it throttles networking.
- Upload in waves through the day rather than one dump at the end.
Troubleshooting
