How To Create a QR Code For Pictures Using PicturesQR

Creating a QR code for your event lets guests quickly access your upload page using just their phone camera. In this guide, you’ll learn how to set up an event, customize it, and generate a ready-to-use QR code that you can print, share digitally, or display at your venue. Once your QR code is created, anyone who scans it can instantly upload their photos and videos to your gallery—no app or log in needed.

Step 1 – Access the Event Editor

• Log in to PicturesQR.
  Once logged in, you’ll land on the Events page.

• Start a new event.
  Tap Create New Event (or Create First Event if none exist) to open the event editor.

Step 2 – Fill in Event Details

• Enter the event name.
  In the Event Name box, type a descriptive title (e.g., Our Wedding Date). This will be visible on your event page.

• Set the event date.
  Use the Event Date calendar picker to choose when the event takes place.

• Choose the date display format.
  Select your preferred format (e.g., “21st of March, 2026”) from the Date Display Format dropdown.

• Define the upload start date.
  In Upload Start Date, pick the date guests can begin uploading photos and videos.

Step 3 – Customize Your Event Page

• Write a welcome message.
  Enter a personalized greeting in the Welcome Message field to tell guests what to do when they arrive at your event page.

• Add a cover photo (optional).
  Click Upload Photo under Event Cover Photo to upload a banner image (JPG, PNG, or SVG up to 20 MB). This image appears as the background cover photo behind your event name and date.

• Choose a color theme.
  From Event Page Color Theme, pick a preset palette (such as “Blush”) that matches your event’s style.

Step 4 – Configure Privacy & Security

• Set the album privacy (optional).
  Toggle Private Album on if you want guests to upload but not view others’ uploads. Leave it off if you want everyone to see shared photos and videos.

• Enable a PIN (optional).
  Toggle Require PIN to protect your event page with a four-digit code. Your PIN is automatically generated and appears under the event name and date on the main Events page.

Step 5 – Review and Save

• Preview your event.
  The real-time Event Page Preview shows exactly how your event page will look. On mobile, tap Show Event Page Preview to view it. You can expand the preview for a larger view.

• Save your changes.
  When satisfied, tap Save to finalize the event. The event appears in your dashboard with its own link and is ready for sharing.
