Do guests need to install an app to scan the QR code?
No. Scanning opens the gallery in the phone's browser.
Gallery sharing for weddings and events
QR code photo sharing for wedding galleries
A QR code lets guests open a wedding gallery on their phones without typing a link. Photographers can pair it with PIN access and, where enabled, selfie-based AI face search so guests find their own photos quickly.
How QR photo sharing works
Create the event gallery, then share its QR code or link. Scanning the code opens the gallery or its access flow in the guest's browser, with no app install needed to start viewing.
Include the code on welcome signs, table cards, invitations, albums or in a message to the couple so that guests can reach the same event from anywhere.
A QR code is a shortcut, not a lock
Anyone who has the QR code can reach the access flow. When a gallery needs to stay private, enable PIN protection and share the PIN separately with the people who should view it.
Help guests find their own photos
Large wedding galleries are slow to browse. Where AI face search is enabled for the event, guests can use a selfie to search for matching photos instead of scrolling through every image.
Guest limits per event vary by plan. Check the pricing page for the limit that applies to your workspace.
Set expectations and respect privacy
Tell guests how to open the gallery, whether a PIN is needed and whether face search is available. Because face search uses guests' selfies, studios should align guest communications with their own privacy notice and applicable obligations.
Questions studios ask
Is a QR code enough to keep a gallery private?
No. Use PIN protection for private galleries and share the PIN separately.
Can guests search for their own photos?
Yes, in event galleries where AI face search is enabled, guests can use a selfie to find matching photos.
Can I add films and albums to the same QR gallery?
Event galleries can include photos, films, reels and digital albums that the studio has prepared, depending on the plan.
