I mean, it uses WebRTC which is an encrypted format, I suppose if you have to go via a relay server that might be a possible attack vector but certainly not enough to worry about over something like a group photo.

For multi-recipient or if you're worried about snooping you might want to try https://wormhole.app/ instead, which is instead a temporary file host, it'll host files for 24 hours encrypted at rest (the encryption key is built into the URL you share)

Thanks for the tip about the Wormhole app. It looks like PairDrop also supports multi-recipient based on a brief visit to their website and cursory review of their FAQ (that is assuming multiple recipients can join a room). Still good to know about various alternatives, though, especially for asynchronous transfers.
