How to Get Your Event QR Code

Every Fotify event comes with a unique QR code that guests can scan to instantly upload photos to your event gallery. No app download required - guests simply scan, snap, and share.

Accessing Your QR Code

1. From your event dashboard, click "Photos" in the sidebar
2. In the Actions section, click "QR Code"
3. The Share Upload Link modal will open with your QR code

Your QR code allows guests to:

• Upload photos directly to your event album
• Contribute to the live photo carousel
• Share their moments instantly during the event

Tips for Displaying Your QR Code

• Size matters: Print your QR code large enough to scan from a comfortable distance (at least 4x4 inches)
• Good lighting: Place printed codes in well-lit areas
• Multiple locations: Set up QR codes at different spots - entrance, tables, photo areas
• Add instructions: Include a brief message like "Scan to share your photos!"
• Test it first: Always scan your printed QR code to make sure it works before the event

Customizing the Upload Experience

You can personalize what guests see when they upload photos:

Custom Upload Success Message

Show a personalized thank-you message after guests upload their photos. Go to Photos → Album → Customize Public Album and scroll to the Messages & Branding section. Add your own message (up to 500 characters) like "Thanks for sharing!" or "Thank you for being part of our day!"

Require Password for Upload

If you want to limit who can upload photos, you can require a password. Enable this in the album customization settings under Privacy & Engagement Settings.
