QR Code Sharing

QR code sharing is the easiest and most popular way for guests to get their photos. No typing, no forms — just scan and go.



How It Works


  1. Guest taps the QR Code button on the share screen
  2. A QR code appears on the iPad screen
  3. Guest opens their phone camera and scans the code
  4. Their phone opens a browser link to the online gallery
  5. Guest can view, download, and share their photos

The gallery contains the guest's photos from their session — both the original captures and any AI-effected versions. Guests can view, download, and share directly from their phone.



Auto-Open QR


Want the QR code to pop up automatically when guests reach the share screen? Enable Auto-Open QR.


How to Enable


  1. Go to Settings
  2. Find Auto-Open QR
  3. Toggle it on
  4. Save


When enabled, the QR code appears immediately — no need for guests to tap anything.


When to Use It


Enable it when:


  • QR code is your primary sharing method
  • You want the fastest possible guest flow
  • Running an unattended booth


Keep it off when:


  • You want guests to choose their sharing method first
  • Print is the primary option and QR is secondary
  • Multiple sharing options are equally important


Auto-open saves one tap per guest. Over 200 guests, that adds up — and keeps the line moving.



Why QR Codes Work So Well


  • No friction — Guests don't need to type their email or phone number
  • Instant — Scan and you're there
  • Universal — Every smartphone can scan QR codes
  • No setup required — QR sharing works out of the box



Tips


  • Make sure the QR code is big enough — It should be easily scannable from a comfortable distance
  • Good lighting helps — A bright screen in a dark venue can glare. Adjust screen brightness if needed.
  • Tell guests what to do — A small sign saying "Scan to get your photos!" helps at unattended booths
  • Internet is required — Both the booth (to upload) and the guest's phone (to access the gallery) need internet


QR sharing is the recommended default for all events. It's fast, requires no setup, and guests are used to scanning QR codes for everything these days.
