How to Share Your Photo Album
Create a public album link so anyone can view your event photos. This is separate from the upload QR code - the public album is for viewing photos, not uploading them.
Enabling Public Album Access
- Go to Photos in the sidebar
- Click "Share Album" in the Actions section
- Toggle on "Public Album Access"
When enabled, anyone with the link can view approved photos from your event. The link changes each time you disable and re-enable sharing, giving you control over access.
Sharing Your Album Link
Once public access is enabled, you have several options:
Preview
Click "Preview" to see exactly what guests will see when they visit your public album.
Copy Link
Click "Copy Link" to copy the album URL to your clipboard. Share it via:
- Text message or WhatsApp
- Social media
- Event website
The link looks like: https://dashboard.fotify.app/public-album/your-unique-id
Note: This link will remain active until you disable sharing or generate a new one.
Customizing Your Album Appearance
Click "Customize Album Appearance" to personalize how your public album looks:
- Change colors to match your event theme
- Adjust display settings
- Control what information is shown to viewers
This helps create a cohesive experience that matches your event branding.
Show Album Link on Upload Screen
Enable the "Show Album Link on Upload Screen" toggle to display the public album link when guests upload photos.
When enabled, guests can easily find and view all photos right after they upload their own. This encourages engagement and lets guests see their photos alongside others.
