How do I make a QR code for photos?

Guest Album is a free QR code guest album for weddings and events, where guests scan one code and add their photos and videos with no app or sign-up.

  1. Name the album

    Type the name of the event and a welcome line. You don't need an account for this part.

  2. Save it and get the code

    Press Get my QR code. You sign in at that step, with Google or an email code.

  3. Print the sign or send the link

    Put the printed sign where people gather, or paste the album link into a chat.

  4. Watch the photos come in

    Every scan opens the same album, and the new photos show up there while people are still adding them.

Use it for your event

One album for every phone and every file

Any phone camera opens the album

The camera on an iPhone or an Android phone reads the code, and the album opens in the browser with nothing to install.

Large files come through whole

The ZIP gives you the original files, up to 40 MB a photo and 400 MB a video.

Every photo carries a name

Each photo shows who added it, and so does its file name in the ZIP.

Questions people ask

Is this photo sharing tool really free?

Yes. Making the code and collecting photos with it costs nothing. There is no trial that runs out and no paid plan. Nobody who scans the code sees an ad, so you can print it on anything without a bill waiting later.

Does the code expire?

No. The code keeps opening the album for as long as the album exists, and albums have no expiry date. Only deleting the album stops it, so a sign on the wall or a code on a thank-you card still opens the album next year.

Can I put the code on my own invitation?

Yes. Download it as a PNG image 1024 pixels wide and place it in any design tool, Canva included. Or print the sign the album makes, which already carries the album's name and a line asking people to add their photos.

Can people see each other's photos?

Yes, by default everyone who opens the album sees every photo in it. You can switch that off so each person sees only their own photos. Or turn on review in the album settings and approve each photo before anyone else sees it.

Make the code before you print anything

Name the event and save the album, and the code is ready to print or send.
