Why a QR code beats an app download
Every step you add costs you guests. Asking 120 people to install an app, create an account and find your album means the tech-shy aunt, the friend with a full phone and the guest who "will do it later" never upload. A QR code that opens straight to an upload page removes all of that.
The same QR code can go on welcome signs, table cards, the bar and the back of your invitations, so guests see it all night.
What to look for in a wedding photo sharing app
- No app and no login for guests — upload from the browser.
- Unlimited photos and videos (busy weddings easily pass 1,000).
- Original quality, not compressed like WhatsApp.
- A live slideshow to show photos on a screen during the reception.
- A guestbook for written notes and voice messages.
- Upload approval, so you control what appears.
- One-time pricing and long storage, plus a full ZIP download.
How it works with Eventoly
Create your event, customise the upload page (theme, fonts, layout), and download or print your QR code — there are ready-made Canva templates. On the day, guests scan and upload; you watch the album fill up live. Afterwards, download everything as one ZIP.
