How long does it take to set up QR code photo collection?

Setup takes less than 2 minutes. Simply choose your package, name your event, complete payment, and your unique QR code is generated immediately. You can be collecting photos within minutes.

Do guests need to download an app to upload photos?

No app download required. Guests simply scan the QR code with their phone's native camera or click the event link, and they're taken straight to the upload page in their browser. They can upload photos in seconds.
