Birthday
Birthday photo sharing with a QR code
The photographs from a birthday are almost always on somebody else's phone, and they stay there. A QR code on the table collects them into one gallery on the night, while people still remember to send them.

How it works
Create the event
Name it, pick a date, choose a look. Your QR code and link are ready straight away.
Print the code
Table cards, a sign by the door, or send the link in the group chat.
Guests scan and upload
Browser opens, first name, photos and videos. Nothing installed.
Everything in one place
Watch it arrive live, put it on a screen, and download the lot afterwards.
The real thing
What your guests see
Three screens from a live PixelParty event.
1. Scan the code
Your event opens in the browser already on their phone. Nothing to install.
2. Choose what to share
Photos and video from the camera roll, the disposable camera, or a voice message.
3. It lands in your gallery
Everything in one place, with reactions, albums and full-resolution downloads.
Why it works at a birthday
One code on the table
That is the whole setup. Print it, prop it up, and people find it themselves.
Works for any age
There is no app to explain to a grandparent and no account for a teenager to skip.
Photos and video
Both, unlimited, straight from the camera roll at full resolution.
Disposable camera mode
Filters powered by Snapchat, which is usually the first thing younger guests find.
Show it on the TV
The live slideshow turns the photos into part of the party rather than something you look at next week.
Keep them properly
Unlimited full-resolution downloads and a gallery open for 12 or 24 months.
Signage
Where to put the code
The rule is the same at every event: put it where guests naturally stop, sit or look.
Where people stop
A queue, a table, a doorway. Anywhere somebody is standing still with a phone in their hand is where a code gets scanned.
On every table
The highest performing placement at any event. People sit there for hours and read whatever is in front of them.
Near the food and drink
Free attention. Nobody queuing at a bar is doing anything else.
On the screen
If there is a projector or a TV, put the code on a holding slide between everything else.
Print it big enough
Two inches across is the minimum that scans reliably in low light. Keep the contrast strong and never print it over a dark photograph.
Say what it does
“Scan to share your photos” beats a name. People scan when they already know what is on the other side.
Compared with the usual alternatives
All of them collect something. They differ in how many people finish and what quality you keep.
