You already have an Event Album
Set it up and get the QR code — or buy another one for your next event.
Every guest photo from your event — with one QR code
Guests scan the code and upload from the phone browser — no app, no signup. From $39.99 one-time per event: storage runs 6 months from the first upload and can be extended, no upload window, full export whenever you want. And unlike anywhere else, your guests keep their photos too — in their own free account.
Create an Event Album · from $39.99One-time payment, no subscription. Start your album whenever you like — the 6 months of storage begin with the first upload.
See how it works in 1 minute
Create the album, put the QR sign on the tables, and every guest's photos land in one place.
Sound familiar?
Everyone was taking photos — you got a dozen
The best photos stayed on other people's phones, and nobody is going to send them over.
The group chat ate the quality
Whatever arrived came compressed and sank between voice notes and stickers.
A week later it feels awkward to ask
There is one moment to collect everything, and it passes in a couple of days.
For any event where guests take photos
Three steps
You create the album
A name and a few words for your guests. The printable QR sign is ready right away — put it on the tables.
Guests scan it
They land on a page with your greeting. Photos and videos go into the album straight from the phone browser.
You sort it out and take it home
Every photo: show to everyone, keep for friends, or hide. The whole album downloads as one archive.
Guests need nothing but a camera
No app, no account
Point the camera, open the page, pick the photos. Works on any phone with a browser.
Anonymous by default
A guest's name is never published without their say-so. They can sign in later and put their name on their photos.
They can claim their photos
Uploaded without signing in, then created an account? Their files move over. They have a week to do it.
They cannot touch anyone else's
A guest deletes only their own and cannot edit the album. Everyone who scanned the code can see the shared album.
Nobody sees what you don't want them to
Three states for every photo
Show to everyone, keep for friends only, or hide completely. One tap, or a whole batch at once.
Approve first, if you like
Turn on holding and guest photos wait for your approval — until then nobody can see them.
You see who sent what
A guest list with counts: how many they sent, how many are shown, how many are waiting.
The code can be replaced
If the link reaches the wrong people, issue a new one. The old QR stops working; guests who joined stay.
The album stays yours
The clock starts with the first photo
Storage runs 6 months from the first upload, not from the payment, and can be extended by another 6 months. The link and the QR never change.
Downloads as one archive
A ZIP with files by chapter and a text file of captions — readable in ten years, with or without Albums.
It's an album, not a dump
A cover, chapters and your own voice notes next to the photos — a story you can read again.
Room for everyone’s photos
100, 200 or 400 GB, depending on the plan. If you run out of space, you can buy more.
Albums vs. typical QR photo services
| albums.ink | Typical QR service | |
|---|---|---|
| Album lifetime | 6 months from first upload, extendable | Deleted after 3–12 months |
| Upload window | Never closes | Closes after 24 hours – 3 months |
| Guests' own photos | Saved to their own free account | Given away and lost |
| After the event | A living story album | A zip file |
Worth knowing up front
Better read before you buy than be disappointed after.
- Photos are stored in up to 4K (3840 px on the long side). Great for screens, prints and a photo book. Not for a wall-sized poster.
- Video is capped at 50 MB per file. That is roughly a minute from a phone. Post longer clips separately.
- The venue needs internet. With no signal a guest can scan the code and upload later — the link doesn't change.
- An album open to everyone goes through review. A hidden one — visible to your guests only — works right away.

The guest number only helps you pick a plan: we don't count or limit guests or uploads, and each guest can upload as many times as they like. Only the storage size is a real limit.
Paid through PayPal. Access opens right after the payment.
Refunds: you can get a full refund within 14 days of purchase while nothing has been uploaded to the album. By buying, you agree that the album is available immediately and that once the first photo or video is uploaded, the purchase is non-refundable (faults on our side are always refunded). Refund Policy
Questions
Create an Event Album and show or print its QR code. Guests scan it and upload photos and videos straight from the phone browser during and after the event. Everything lands in one album that belongs to you.
No. The phone camera opens an ordinary web page.
Also no. They can upload without signing in — those photos stay anonymous. If they want their name on them, or want the files in their own account, they can sign in later.
As many as you like. The 100, 250 or 500 on the plans is only a guide for choosing one: we don't count or limit guests or uploads, and each guest can upload as many times as they like. The only real limit is storage. There is one code and it never changes.
Files are stored for 6 months from the first upload into the album — not from the payment or from creating it. Before the period ends you can extend storage by another 6 months or download everything as one archive.
Yes. Any album exports as a single archive with the original files — your photos are never locked in.
The event owner. And guests keep their own photos: after signing in, everything a guest uploaded is saved to their own album in their own free account as well.
Small holds 100 GB, Medium 200 GB and Large 400 GB — tens of thousands of photos. Ran out of space? No problem — you can add more. Video is capped at 50 MB per file.
Yes, each one has its own visibility. You can also turn on approval in advance, so guest photos wait for your decision.
Issue a new link — the old QR stops working. Everyone who already joined stays.
That is another purchase. Buy it in advance and start the album once the date is set — there's no deadline to start, and storage begins with the first upload.
Guests need no Google account and no app. The owner gets chapters, voice notes, moderation, and a one-time price per event instead of a storage subscription.
Story albums are free. Pro is $9.99/month for more capacity. An Event Album is a one-time purchase per event, from $39.99 — guests never pay.
Put up the sign — your guests do the rest
The code is ready a minute after payment. From there it just sits on the table and collects your celebration.
