You handle these once. Everything after that is automatic.

  • Name your album and set the event date
  • Choose a QR code design (plain, branded, or styled)
  • Optionally add a PIN so only invited guests can upload

Put the QR code where guests will see it

Download your QR code and put it anywhere that works — table cards, welcome signs, the bar, the programme, a WhatsApp message before the event. Wherever people look, that's where to put it.

  • Download as PNG, SVG or PDF — print-ready at any size
  • Display it on any screen or projector at the venue
  • Share the link in the invite, on the table or via WhatsApp
  • Guests can also type the short URL directly if they prefer
After the party

Download everything and relive it

  • One-click ZIP download — all files, full resolution
  • Browse and favourite shots directly in your online album
  • Download individual photos or the whole album any time

For Your Guests

Here's what they see when they scan

No app. No sign-up. No explanation needed. Point, scan, upload — done.

Scan with the camera

Guests point their phone camera at the QR code. No app needed — their camera recognises it and shows a tap-to-open prompt.

A page opens instantly

Tapping the prompt opens a simple, clean upload page in the browser. The album name shows so they know they're in the right place.

Pick photos from their camera roll

They tap the upload button, select one or many photos (and videos), and hit share. Works on iPhone and Android without any settings changes.

Done — and they can see the album too

The upload finishes in seconds. Guests can then browse the album and see what everyone else has shared — which usually gets more people contributing.

What's happening behind the scenes

While you're enjoying your event, QR Moments is quietly doing the work.

Lifetime plan

Live slideshow on any screen

Open the slideshow URL on a TV, laptop, or projector. As guests upload, their photos appear in real-time — no refreshing, no fiddling. Just a living wall of memories playing out at your event.

Both plans

Real-time upload notifications

You get a notification every time a batch of photos comes in. Log in to your album dashboard from your phone and watch the count climbing — without leaving the party.

Lifetime plan

Sub-albums keep things organised

Running a multi-part event? Create sub-albums for the ceremony, reception, cocktail hour — each with its own QR code. Guests scan the right one for the moment they're in.

Both plans

Moderation, if you want it

Turn on upload moderation and every photo waits for your approval before appearing in the album. Useful for corporate events or anywhere you want to keep things polished.

Lifetime plan

Guest voice messages

Alongside photos, guests can record a short voice note — a message, a toast, a story. These come through as audio files in your album and are genuinely moving to listen to later.

Both plans

PIN protection

Add a PIN code to your album so only people you've shared it with can upload. The QR code still works — guests just enter the PIN when the page opens.

A Typical Wedding Day

What a day with QR Moments looks like

This is roughly how a wedding goes — from the morning setup to the final download.

2 days before

You create the album

Two minutes on your laptop. Album is live, QR code is ready. You send the link to your venue and print the table cards.

Morning of the wedding

Venue puts up the signs

Table cards go out, the welcome board goes up, the screen at the bar starts showing the slideshow URL — blank for now, ready to fill.

Ceremony begins

First uploads come in

Guests waiting for the ceremony starts scanning out of curiosity. A few photos of the venue, the flowers, the children running around.

Cocktail hour

Album starts filling up fast

This is usually the most active period. Guests are relaxed, drinks in hand, and the QR code on the bar is right there. 200 photos in 90 minutes is normal.

Reception & dinner

Slideshow becomes a conversation

The live wall behind the bar is showing photos guests took an hour ago. People notice themselves on the big screen — and reach for their phones to add more.

Dance floor

The candid shots nobody planned

Your photographer is taking the first dance. Your guests are capturing everything else — the group photos, the cake cutting moments, the kids asleep under a table.

Next morning

You open your laptop to 800+ photos

One click. Everything downloads as a ZIP. You spend the next hour going through shots you had no idea existed from the night before.

Common Questions

Still wondering how something works?

Yes — that's the whole point. All modern iPhones and Android phones can read QR codes directly through the camera app. When a guest points their camera at the code, they get a tap-to-open prompt. Tapping that opens the upload page in their browser. Nothing to download, nothing to install.

We designed the guest upload experience to be as simple as possible — it's three taps on a screen that looks like any other website. In practice, we've seen guests in their 70s and 80s upload photos without any help. If someone really struggles, any younger guest can show them in about 30 seconds.

Yes. Guests can upload both photos and videos from their camera roll. Videos up to a few minutes long work fine. Everything is stored at the original quality — we don't compress or re-encode.

As many as you like. There's no queue and no limit. If every guest at a 200-person wedding hits upload at the same moment, it handles it. The infrastructure scales automatically.

Guests aren't required to give their names, so uploads are anonymous by default. On the Lifetime plan, you can enable guest name tracking — guests are prompted to enter their name before uploading, and each photo is tagged with who contributed it.

Just log back in to your QR Moments account and download it again. Your QR code and your album link never change — they're permanently attached to your event.

Yes. You can create a free album, get your QR code, and test the upload flow before any payment is required. You only pay when you're ready to go live with full features.

Set up your album in two minutes — no credit card, no commitment. Your QR code is live the moment you finish.
