How to Use One Link for Uploading and Viewing Photos

A common question from organizers: "Can guests use the same link to upload their photos AND view everyone else's?" The answer is yes — by enabling the Album Link on Upload Screen setting, your upload page doubles as a gateway to the public album.

This means you only need to share one QR code or link, and guests can both contribute photos and browse the full event gallery.

How It Works

When you enable this feature, a "View Public Album" button appears on your upload page — both on the main upload screen and on the success screen after a guest uploads a photo.

Guests see:

1. The upload form where they can share their photos
2. A clearly visible button to open the full event album in a new tab
3. After uploading, the same album button on the thank-you screen

This keeps the experience simple: one link, two features.

Step 1: Enable Public Album Sharing

Before the album link can appear, your public album must be active:

1. Go to your Dashboard and select your event
2. Click Photos in the sidebar
3. Click Share Album
4. Make sure album sharing is enabled

If you haven't set this up yet, see How to Share Your Event Album for full instructions.

Step 2: Enable the Album Link on the Upload Page

1. Go to Photos in the sidebar
2. Click Upload Page Design in the Actions section
3. Scroll to the bottom of the settings
4. Toggle on "Show Album Link on Upload Screen"
5. Click Save

That's it! Your upload page now shows a "View Public Album" button that links directly to the event gallery.

Step 3: Share Your Upload Link

Now you only need to share your upload page link (or QR code). Guests can:

• Upload photos using the form
• View the album by tapping the album button

You'll find your upload link and QR code under Photos in your event dashboard. Print the QR code, add it to table cards, or share the link via messaging apps — either way, guests get the full experience from a single entry point.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Do I need two QR codes — one for uploading and one for the album? A: No. With the album link enabled on the upload page, one QR code is all you need. Guests can upload and view photos from the same page.

Q: What if I haven't enabled public album sharing? A: The album button won't appear on the upload page until you enable album sharing under Photos > Share Album.

Q: Can guests view the album without uploading first? A: Yes. The album link is visible as soon as the upload page loads — guests don't need to upload anything before accessing the album.

Q: Does this work on mobile? A: Yes. The album link button is fully responsive and works on all devices.

Q: Can I customize how the album button looks? A: The button follows your upload page's design theme (colors, fonts, button style), so it matches the rest of the page automatically.
