How do guests upload photos?

Updated October 2026 · 3 minute read · Works on iPhone and Android
Quick answer

Guests point their phone camera at the event’s QR code, tap the link, type their name once and tap Add photos & videos. Photos upload in full quality straight from the camera roll. No app or account is needed.

Step-by-step: uploading from your phone

  1. 1
    Scan the QR code
    Open your phone’s camera and point it at the QR code on your table card or the big screen. Tap the link that appears. On older Android phones, use Google Lens.
  2. 2
    Enter your name
    Type your name once so the hosts know who took each photo. You won’t be asked again on the same phone.
  3. 3
    Enter the password, if there is one
    Some hosts add a password. You’ll find it printed next to the QR code.
  4. 4
    Tap “Add photos & videos”
    Pick as many photos and videos as you like from your camera roll, or take a new one.
  5. 5
    Watch them upload
    A progress bar shows each file. When you see the tick, your photo is safely with the hosts, and on the slideshow if the event has one.

Tips for slow Wi-Fi

  • Keep the page open while photos upload. If the signal drops, wait for it to come back and tap Retry on anything that didn’t finish.
  • Videos are the largest files. Share photos first, then add videos later from home.
  • You can keep adding photos for as long as the host leaves uploads open, usually a couple of weeks.

If something goes wrong

The QR code won’t scan

Move closer, make sure the code is well lit, and hold the phone steady for a second. You can also type the short link printed under the code.

My upload is stuck

Check you have a signal, keep the page open and wait a moment. If a photo doesn’t finish, tap it to try again. Guests can also add photos later from home.

I uploaded the wrong photo

Open “Yours” on the event page, tap the photo and choose Delete. This only works on the phone you uploaded from.
