QR code photo sharing
for events of any size.
One QR code takes every guest straight to your event's photos, printed on a table card, a badge, or a screen at the door.
What it does for you
QR code photo sharing gives every guest one code to scan for their event photos. It suits weddings, parties, conferences and any event where guests carry a phone. A guest scans the code with their camera, takes one selfie in the phone browser and opens a gallery of only their photos, with no app to install. Some events ask for an email code first. It starts free: the free plan covers 300 photos a month with no card, and Business plans start from $99 a month.
One code, the whole event
Print it once and it opens the same event page for every guest, whatever photos are on it that day.
No app for guests
Guests scan with their phone's own camera and land on the event page in their browser. Nothing to download.
Put it anywhere
Table cards, badges, banners, invitations, or a screen at check-in. The code doesn't change, so signage printed early still works on the day.
It's in your launch email too
When your event goes live, the email you receive includes the same code, ready to share again.
How it works for you
A code is only useful if it's easy to put up and easy to scan. Both sides of that are one step each.
- 1You
Publish your event
Once your event is ready, publish it and its QR code is generated for you automatically.
- 2You
Print or display the code
Add it to table cards, badges, signage or a screen at the venue, in whatever combination suits your event.
- 3Your guest
Scans with their phone
Any phone camera reads it and opens the event page directly, no app or download involved.
- 4Your guest
Finds their photos
From there, a guest takes a selfie or browses the shared albums to find their own photos.
Where it fits
Anywhere a guest has a moment to glance down and a phone already in hand.
Conferences
Printed on the badge, so the code travels with every attendee all day.
Corporate events
On the registration desk and on signage around the venue.
Weddings
On the table cards, so guests find it without asking anyone for a link.
Exhibitions & trade shows
On booth signage, so a passing visitor can scan and move on.
Where to put the QR code
Put the code where guests sit, queue or wait, and where a phone is already in hand. The code is the same wherever it goes, so you can use several places at once.
On tables and seats
Table cards, place cards and menus suit weddings, dinners and galas, because guests are seated and have time to scan.
At the door and on screens
A sign or a screen at the entrance, the registration desk or the bar reaches guests as they arrive or wait. On a screen, leave the code up long enough to scan and large enough to read from a few steps away.
On badges, invitations and the photographer's card
A code on a badge travels with the guest. On an invitation or a programme it reaches them before the event, and a photographer can hand out a card with the code so people find their photos afterwards. Publish the event first, because the code is set when you publish.
Print it so it scans
Print the code dark on a plain light background, large enough for a phone to read at arm's length, and keep it flat, not folded or catching glare behind glass. Scan it with your own phone before anything goes to print.
QR code photo sharing for weddings, parties and conferences
The same code works for any occasion. What changes is where it sits and who scans it. The free plan covers a first event, so you can try it before you print anything. See free event photo sharing apps compared for the other options, and pricing for the plans.
Weddings
A wedding photo QR code belongs on the table cards or the welcome sign. Guests who barely know each other scan it, take one selfie and see only their own photos, so nobody has to send a link round the family group chat.
Parties
For a birthday or a get-together, a printed card by the door or the code on a screen is enough. Whoever takes the photos uploads them, and each guest finds theirs with a selfie. See party photo sharing. If you want guests to add their own photos too, see guest photo uploads.
Conferences
At a conference the code goes on the badge, so it travels with each attendee, and again on signage and screens. Attendees find their photos from the photographers' work without anyone handing out links. See conference photo sharing, and face recognition photo sharing for how the selfie match works.
