How to create a QR code to collect photos from guests

Want a QR code at your party so guests can share their photos? Create an album in Suas Memórias and the code is included, with a frame you can personalize. Once the album is activated, save the image to print or share.

The code opens that album's page. Uploaded files appear together in the gallery, where you and your guests can view and download them. Here is how to prepare the invitation and test it before the celebration.

Create the album and personalize the frame

Everything is prepared in the app, without a separate QR code generator:

1. Enter the name and date. When you create your album with a QR code, choose a name guests will recognize. Check the date: it sets the access window and cannot be changed after activation.
2. Personalize the invitation. Choose the colors, icon and wording beside the code. The preview updates as you make changes. A message such as “Took photos at the party? Scan and share them in our album” explains what to do next.
3. Activate the album. Choose storage space for the photos and complete the purchase. After payment is confirmed, the album is ready with your chosen design.
4. Save the frame and copy the link. The PNG includes the event's name, date, message and QR code, ready to print. Keep the guest link handy for sharing in messages too.

You can prepare the printed invitations ahead of time. Uploads open three days before the celebration date, when you can try a test upload.

Test the steps until a photo appears in the album

Scan the QR code with another phone and tap the address that appears. Check that the page shows the correct party name. To contribute, a guest chooses the upload option, enters their name, selects photos and confirms in their browser, without installing an app or creating an account.

Once uploads are open, finish the test with a photo and check that it appears in the gallery. If possible, try an iPhone and an Android phone. This helps you guide someone at the party without learning the steps on the spot.

Test a printed copy at the size you plan to use, too. Keep the whole code and the clear margin around it unobstructed. Scan from the position a guest will use; if it is difficult to read, increase the size or change the paper and position to avoid reflections.

Share the code on tables and the link in your digital invitation

A small tabletop card keeps the QR code close to guests. A sign at the entrance can introduce the idea as they arrive. Use the saved frame and keep the party's name visible so people know which album they will open.

Include a clickable link alongside the image in your digital invitation. Anyone reading on their phone can tap the address without using another device to scan. Both options open the same album.

Share the invitation with the people attending. Anyone with the guest link can access contributions, including someone who receives a forwarded copy.

Check the pictures and download your copy after the party

In the following days, send the link with a thank-you message to guests who still have photos on their phones. Open the gallery, select the photos and videos you want to keep and download the files. With Complete, the album also accepts videos up to 15 seconds long.

Uploads remain available until 7 days after the celebration. Album access and downloads continue for 3 calendar months after the celebration date. Files are deleted from the album when that period ends. Save your collection beforehand, check the downloads and keep a second copy. Optimized photos have reduced quality for viewing and sharing. When preparing a Complete album, enable originals before uploads to keep the received files with the detail for larger prints and editing later. They are available as separate downloads. Files on your guests' phones stay unchanged.

Common questions

Does the QR code work if a guest has no internet connection?

Their camera may recognize the code and show the link, but opening the album and completing an upload requires internet access. If reception is poor, guests can keep their photos on their phones and upload through the same link when connected, within the available window.
