How it works

How Eventoly actually works

Eventoly is a QR code photo sharing app for weddings, birthdays, parties, and any event. Hosts create a private album, guests scan a QR code to upload photos and videos straight from their phones, and the host downloads everything in one click after the event. Here's exactly what happens at each step.

For hosts

From signup to downloaded album — 4 steps

The full host flow, from creating your event to keeping every photo your guests captured. Planning a wedding? See how a QR code for wedding pictures works end to end.

Create your event in 60 seconds

Sign up free, name your event (wedding, birthday, party, baby shower — anything), pick the date, choose a theme, and Eventoly generates a private QR code unique to your album. No card needed for the free trial.

Print your QR code anywhere guests will see it

Drop your private QR code into any of our free Canva templates, print it as a welcome sign, table card, ceremony program insert, or photo-booth backdrop. Bigger and more visible always wins — most hosts put it in 3–5 spots across the venue.

Guests scan and upload — no app, no login

Guests open their phone camera, point it at the QR code, and a private upload page opens in the browser. They pick photos, videos, or even leave a voice note — and everything lands in your shared album live, in original quality. No app to download, no account to create.

Download everything in one click

After the event, sign in to your Eventoly dashboard and download every guest photo and video as a single zip, in full original quality. Ready for print, ready for your photographer, ready to keep forever.

For guests

What your guests actually do

Three steps. About 15 seconds total. No app, no account, no friction.

Scan the QR code with your phone camera

No app to download. Just open the camera app on iPhone or Android, point it at the printed QR code, and tap the notification that appears.

Pick photos and videos to share

The upload page opens in your normal browser. Choose photos and videos from your camera roll — no limit on file size or count. You can also leave a voice note or a written message to the couple or host.

Done — your contributions appear in the shared album

Your uploads land in the host's private album instantly. Other guests can see what you shared (if the host turned on guest view), and the live slideshow can display photos at the event in real time.

Need it even simpler? Here's why your guests don't need an app or a login to upload their photos.

Requirements

What you actually need

Just an email address. No credit card to start the free trial.
About 60 seconds to name your event, set the date, and generate your private QR code.
A printer (or print shop) for your QR code sign. We supply free Canva templates so you don't have to design anything from scratch.
Guests with a phone camera — that's it. They don't need to download an app or create an account.

One code for every celebration

Weddings are where most people start. The same QR code works for any day worth remembering.

From the first dance to the last toast — every guest's photo, video, and voice note in one shared album.

Every candle blown, every belly laugh, every messy slice of cake — straight from your guests' phones.

Cute moments, sweet messages, and group photos — all in one place to share with the parents-to-be.

House parties, anniversaries, reunions — every guest contributes, no chasing group chats for the good photos.
