A QR code for party photos, from birthdays to house parties

Put one QR code for party photos on the table and your guests' pictures end up in one album. They scan it with the phone camera, take or upload photos in the browser, and need no app or account. The same code can run a slideshow on the TV, and after the party you download every original as one ZIP.

How it works at a party

Setting up the event takes about a minute, and nobody has to install anything on the night.

Name the event and choose how guests share: an open camera, or a disposable camera with a set number of shots.
Print a sign or table tent with the code from the Signage Kit, or send the link to your guests.
Guests scan the code with the phone camera and take photos, or upload ones already on their phone.
Photos land in a shared gallery, and on the TV if you open the live wall there.

How to make and place the QR code

What a party needs that a wedding doesn't

At a birthday, people come and go, batteries run low, and some of the best photos are taken late at night by someone you barely know. Whatever you use shouldn't get in their way.

Guests don't create an account. If you want to know who took what, ask for a name when they join. If the signal drops in a basement or a garden, uploads wait and go up when the connection returns. Photos keep their original quality, and iPhone HEIC files upload as they are.

Disposable camera mode for a party

Turn it on and each guest gets a set number of shots, anywhere from 1 to 100. The photos develop after a delay you pick, from one hour to two days, or when the party's end time passes. Until then nobody can open them, not even the guest who took them.

With a limited roll, people think before they shoot. And the next morning there's a whole set of photos to go through together.

Put the party on the TV

Open the live wall in a browser on a TV, projector or laptop, and new photos appear seconds after they're taken. There's a birthday theme and a party theme. The QR code can sit in a corner of the screen, so latecomers join from the sofa, and you can hold photos for your approval before they show.

Free plan or Party pass

A small party fits the free plan: one event with up to 100 photos, kept for 7 days. With 10 shots each, that's enough for 10 guests. The gallery and the wall carry an AllSnaps watermark.

For a bigger birthday, the Party pass is $19, paid once for that event. It holds up to 1,000 photos for 3 months and drops the watermark. There's no subscription, and you can upgrade the free event later without losing a photo.

Questions

Do my guests need an app to share party photos?

No. They scan the QR code with the phone camera and everything runs in the browser. They don't need an account either.

Is the QR code free?

Yes. Creating an event, its QR code and the printable signs costs nothing. You pay only if you upgrade the event to a pass.

Can guests add photos they took before they scanned the code?

Yes. Next to the camera there's an upload button, so guests can pick photos and videos from their phone's library.

Can I see who took each photo?

Yes, if you ask guests for their name when they join. The name then goes with every photo they share.

How long are party photos kept?

7 days on the free plan and 3 months with a Party pass. After that you have 14 more days to download everything before the photos are deleted.
