How do QR code photo sharing apps work?

Quick answer

A QR code photo sharing app gives your event a private upload page and a QR code that points to it. Guests scan the code with their phone camera, the page opens in their browser, they pick photos and videos and tap upload. Files go straight into your album, where you can view, approve, show on a slideshow and download them.

Step by step

  • Host creates an event and customises the upload page.
  • Host prints the QR code on signs, table cards or invitations.
  • Guest scans with the phone camera — no app.
  • Guest uploads photos/videos and can leave a note or voice message.
  • Photos appear in the host's album (after approval, if turned on).
  • Host shows them live on a slideshow and downloads everything afterwards.

Is it private?

Only people with the code or link can reach the upload page, and you choose whether guests can view or download the album.
