Album QR Features

Everything you need to collect event photos — in one tool

What does Album QR offer?

Album QR is a complete solution for collecting and managing event photos. From weddings to birthdays to corporate events — Album QR offers a set of features designed to make collecting photos from guests simple, fast, and secure. Every feature was built with the convenience of both organizers and guests in mind.

Photo upload without an app

Guests don't need to download any app. They just scan the QR code with their phone camera — the album opens in the browser.

This is Album QR's biggest advantage and the most common praise from users. At every event, there are people who don't want to install yet another app. With Album QR, they don't have to — just a camera and a browser. Works on iPhone, Android, and every modern smartphone. Zero registration, zero login, zero barriers. A guest scans the QR code, selects photos from their gallery or takes new ones, and uploads with one tap.

Automatic Google Drive backup

All photos go directly to your Google Drive account. Full control, original quality.

Photos uploaded by guests automatically sync to a dedicated folder on your Google Drive. No manual downloading or transferring — synchronization happens in the background. You have full control over your photos: browse, share, sort, and archive them. Photos are stored in original quality — without the compression used by messengers like WhatsApp or Messenger.

Photo moderation

Review and approve photos before they appear in the gallery. You decide what's visible.

The moderation feature (available in the Premium plan) gives you full control over the gallery. Every uploaded photo first goes to a moderation queue — you decide which photos get published. Perfect for businesses building portfolios (e.g., hair salons, photo studios) and for events where you want to control content quality. Moderate photos from a convenient admin panel on your computer or phone.

Password protection

Restrict album access with a password. Only invited guests can view and upload photos.

Secure your album with an access code. Only people who know the password can enter the gallery and upload photos. An ideal mechanism for private events where you want to limit access to trusted guests. You can share the password on the invitation, in a message, or announce it during the event. Password can be changed anytime from the admin panel.

Download as ZIP archive

Download all photos with one click as a ZIP archive. Convenient offline backup.

In addition to automatic Google Drive backup, you can download all photos as a packed ZIP archive. One click — and you have a local copy of all event photos on your computer. Perfect for creating an additional backup, preparing photos for printing, or sharing them with your photographer.

Lightning-fast speed

Smart background compression. The album runs smoothly even on weak Wi-Fi.

Album QR uses intelligent compression to optimize photo uploads. Even on weak hotel Wi-Fi or outdoors with LTE coverage — photos upload quickly and reliably. The interface is optimized for mobile devices, with fast loading and smooth performance. The gallery renders thumbnails instantly, and full-resolution photos are available on Google Drive.

Multi-day event support

Organize photos chronologically — ceremony, reception, after-party, or trip days.

For multi-day events (e.g., wedding with after-party, trips, conferences) Album QR allows automatic photo grouping by day. Guests upload photos and the system automatically organizes them chronologically. In the gallery, you can browse photos day by day, making it easy to navigate and find specific moments.

Photo Bingo

An interactive game for guests — photo challenges that liven up any event.

Photo Bingo (Premium plan) is a unique feature that turns photo collecting into a game. You create a list of photo challenges — e.g., "selfie with the bride", "photo of the cake", "best dance move". Guests complete challenges and upload photos. It's a great icebreaker at weddings and parties that encourages even shy guests to take photos.
