How it works for your event
From a child's first birthday to a big 50th, the best photos are on your guests' phones. QRPix collects them in one gallery, so the person celebrating gets every shot without a single group chat.
Send the QR code with the invite
Add it to a digital invite, or print the A3 poster and stand it by the cake table.
Guests share as the party goes
Friends and family scan and upload from any phone. Older relatives don't need an app or an account.
Give them the memories
Show the live gallery on a TV during the party, then keep a highlight reel and download every photo.

What to check before choosing a photo sharing service
Do guests need an app?
No. Guests scan your QR code and upload in their phone browser, with no app and no account.
Can guests upload video?
Yes, on Gold and Custom, as clips of up to 2 minutes. Bronze and Silver are for photos only.
Are photos full quality?
Yes. You receive the full-quality originals, not the compressed versions a messaging app would send.
How long are photos kept, and can I download them?
Your gallery is available for 12 months on every plan, and you can download everything as one ZIP.
Can I control what appears?
Yes. You can remove anything instantly on every plan. Gold also adds a content filter.
Is there a live slideshow?
Yes. The Live Gallery runs on any big screen on every plan, and photos appear as guests upload them.
Is it a subscription?
No. You pay once, from £20. If you're not happy, you can ask for a full refund before your event date.
