How Birthday Party QR Code Photo Sharing Works

1

Create a Free Birthday Event

Sign up free, enter the birthday person's name and party date. Your event page and QR code are ready instantly.

2

Print Your QR Code

Download the QR code and print it — on a table card near the cake, a sign at the entrance, on napkins, or even on the invitations.

3

Guests Scan & Upload

Any guest with a smartphone scans the code and the upload page opens. No account, no app. They tap, choose photos, and share.

4

Download Your Birthday Gallery

After the party, your gallery is full of guest photos. Download them all in one click and relive the night.

My 40th surprise party had a QR code on the bar. By midnight, 60 guests had uploaded 200+ photos. I had no idea it was happening — then my wife showed me the gallery. I cried.
