How to Create a QR Code for Wedding Photos (Step-by-Step)

Collect Every Guest’s Photos in One Shared Digital Album - No Apps, No Stress.

Your wedding day will be full of unforgettable moments - and your guests will capture many of them on their phones. The challenge is actually getting those photos afterwards.

Asking guests to send photos on WhatsApp, Instagram, AirDrop, text messages, or shared drives usually ends with:

• Missing photos

• Low-quality screenshots

• Forgotten uploads

• & endless “Can you send me that picture?” messages

A QR code for wedding photos solves this instantly.

Why Use a QR Code to Collect Wedding Photos?

A QR code gives your guests a simple, instant way to share their photos and videos during the wedding.

They just:

Scan → Select Photos → Upload

No app downloads, no logins, no fuss - it works directly in their phone’s browser.

This is especially helpful for:

• Guests who aren’t tech-savvy

• Big weddings where group chats are chaotic

• Couples who want every candid moment (not just the professional shots)

What Is PixelParty?

PixelParty is a photo sharing platform designed specifically for weddings and events. When you create your event, you automatically receive:

• A unique QR code

• A shared online wedding album

• A private upload link

• Optional real-time slideshow mode

Guests scan your QR code to upload photos, videos, and messages, with no app required.

This is one of the main differences between PixelParty and guest photo apps - your guests do not have to download anything.
