Hosting a Halloween get-together? Guests scan one QR code to add their photos to your gallery. Create your event

QR code photo sharing

Every guest's photos, in one private gallery

Put a Snapparty QR code on the tables. Guests scan it with their phone camera and add their photos and videos straight to your event gallery. No app to download, no accounts, and one payment per event.

  • No app for guests
  • Photos and videos
  • You approve what's kept
  • From £19, paid once

How it works

Three steps, and the photos come to you

The best photos of your day end up on other people's phones. Snapparty gathers them in one place without anyone installing anything.

  1. Create your event

    Add a name, the date and a welcome message for guests. Choose a plan and pay once. It takes a couple of minutes.

  2. Share your QR code

    Design a table card in the card studio, order printed cards, or simply send the link. Guests scan it with their camera.

  3. Guests upload, you keep it all

    Photos and videos arrive in your private gallery with each guest's name. Approve, hide or delete, then save the ones you love.

The full walkthrough, step by step

Both sides of the QR code

Simple for guests. In your control.

What your guests see

  • They point their camera at the QR code, or tap your link. Nothing to install, no account to create.
  • Two big buttons: Take a photo or From library. Up to 30 photos and videos at a time.
  • They can add their name and a short message for you.
  • Photos are resized on the phone before sending, so uploads are quick even on busy venue wifi.
  • Afterwards they can look back at the photos they shared.

Questions

Good to know

Do guests need to download an app?

No. Guests scan your QR code with their phone camera, or open your link, and upload from the browser. There's no app and no account. It works on iPhone and Android.

Who can see the photos?

You can see everything in your dashboard. Each guest sees only what they uploaded from their own phone, unless you unlock the full gallery for them. There's no public gallery and event pages are hidden from search engines.

How much does it cost?

One payment per event, from £19. There's no subscription. The plans differ in how many uploads they take, how long uploads stay open and how much storage you get.

Can I check photos before they appear?

Yes. When you create your event, choose "I approve each photo before it appears". Otherwise photos are added straight away, and you can hide or delete any of them later.

When does the upload window start?

Your guest link works as soon as you've paid. The upload window (7, 14 or 90 days, depending on the plan) is counted from your event date, so you can set everything up well in advance.

Are photos uploaded at full size?

Photos are resized on the guest's phone to a maximum of 1920 pixels on the longest side before they're sent. That keeps uploads quick on venue wifi and is plenty for viewing and standard prints. Videos are uploaded as recorded.
