QR code photo sharing for any event
One QR code, one shared album and no app for guests. Pick your occasion below for the setup, wording and tips written for that event.
20 guest uploads free, no card required.
FROM A GUEST
Every occasion works the same way
The host creates an album and gets one QR code. Guests scan it and upload photos and videos from their phone browser, with no app and no account. Everything lands in one album the host can download as a ZIP. Only the wording, timing and setup change from one event to the next.
Create the album
Name it, set the event date and pick a QR poster design.
Put the QR code where guests are
Table cards, the invite, a slide on the big screen or the group chat.

Photos and videos land in one album, ready to view and download as a ZIP.

What to set up for your kind of event
The album is the same. Where the code goes and which setting helps most depends on the room.
| Kind of event | Where the QR code goes | Setting worth using |
|---|---|---|
| Seated party or dinner | Table cards or place cards | Live slideshow on a TV or projector (Standard and Pro) |
| Stag do, hen do or night out | The group chat | Film roll mode, so photos stay hidden until the reveal you set |
| Memorial or private family event | A printed card or the order of service | Private QR code, with control over who can view and download |
| Reunion or multi-day trip | The invite and the group chat | Up to 6 sub-albums on Standard or up to 20 on Pro, one for each day or part of the event |
| Conference or work event | A slide, signage or badges | Photo missions with a live leaderboard on the slideshow (Standard and Pro) |
| Team or club season | The team chat or a clubhouse poster | A longer upload window: 6 months on Standard, 1 year on Pro |
New to QR photo sharing?
This two and a half minute walkthrough from KnowledgeBase shows the basic idea: one code that opens a set of shared photos.
Pix Wedding uses the same scan step, then lets guests add their own photos and videos to the album too.

Event photo sharing questions
Straight answers to the questions people ask most about this topic.
Any event where guests carry phones. That covers birthdays, showers, reunions, memorials, team seasons, conferences, festivals and group trips. The album works the same way each time, and the pages above cover the wording and setup that differ from one event to the next.
No. Guests scan the QR code, the album opens in their phone browser, and they upload from there. There is nothing to install and no login, which matters most at events with mixed ages.
No. The name says weddings, but the same album works for any event. You can set an event date, pick a QR design and collect photos the same way for a birthday or a conference.
You can start free with 20 guest uploads and no card. Paid plans are one payment, with no subscription: Starter $44, Standard $54 and Pro $84. Regional prices apply automatically at checkout.
Starter gives 3 months of uploads from the event date and 6 months of storage. Standard gives 6 months and 1 year. Pro gives 1 year and 2 years. Every paid plan includes a ZIP download of the whole album.
Yes. Each album has its own unique QR code, and the host controls whether guests can view and download photos. That suits memorials, family events and work events where the photos should not be open to everyone who uploads.
