Collecting event photos is often messy. Guests take candid pictures across dozens of phones, while hosts spend days chasing links and searching through long group-chat threads.
With a QR code to upload photos, everyone can contribute to the same sync.camera event gallery. Display or share the event QR code, let guests scan it to join, and collect their photos in one place.
How QR codes to upload photos work
Start by creating an event in sync.camera. The event gives you a shared destination for the photos contributed by you and your guests.
Next, share the event QR code where guests can easily scan it. At a wedding or party, for example, you might present it at the venue so attendees can join the event while they are there.
Guests scan the QR code, join the event, and contribute their photos to its gallery. Instead of asking everyone to send separate links afterward, you collect their pictures through one event.
You can choose when the gallery is revealed: during the event, after the event, or after a selected delay. When reviewing the results, you can also use filter by photographer to focus on photos contributed by a particular person.
