QR code for birthday party photos
With EventPics you collect all photos and videos of your birthday in one private album. Guests just scan the QR code, upload in seconds and you keep every perspective in original quality, without compression and without scattered chats.
The album is set up in minutes, works in the browser or via app and stays accessible after the event. Place QR codes on tables, ask friends to remind guests and start a live slideshow on TV or projector so every snapshot becomes a shared memory.

What users say
„This app worked well for gathering pics from 2 events. The only downside is that once uploaded you can't see who uploaded them. We had a small issue logging on initially but support was quick and solved. I judge a site by its service and they did well!“

How to make a QR code for a birthday party
The QR code is only a shortcut to a web address, so the album has to exist first. Create the event in EventPics and the matching code is generated with it. You can then restyle it in the free QR code generator, download it as PNG for screens or SVG for print, and drop it into one of the ready made print templates.
Print the same code as often as you like. Table cards, a poster at the entrance and the invitation can all carry it, because every scan leads to the same birthday album. Add one short line next to it, for example "Scan to add your photos", and scan the printed card once with your own phone before the party.
Why a QR code album beats a group chat
Group chats compress photos and videos heavily, so what stays on your phone is a shrunken copy of the original. Pictures arrive mixed into conversation and are gone from view after a few days of scrolling. And whoever is not in the group, the colleague or the friend of a friend, never sends anything at all.
A birthday album fixes all three at once: one place for every picture, files in original quality, and access for everyone who was there, whether or not they are in any chat group. A QR code photo album works the same way for every other occasion.
