How to Collect Photos From Your Guests (the Easy Way)
After the wedding, the birthday, the big day — the official photographer sends you 200 polished shots weeks later. But the real moments, the candid ones, are sitting in 80 different phones and you'll never see most of them. This is the problem an event gallery solves.
What is an event gallery?
An event gallery is one shared photo album for your whole event. Instead of chasing people for pictures, you give guests a single link (or a QR code they scan), and every photo they upload lands in the same place — yours to keep, browse and download.
No app to install, no accounts to create. Guests tap the link, choose photos from their camera roll (or snap a new one), and they're in.
How to set it up with Eventor
With Eventor's event gallery it takes about a minute:
- Create a gallery and give it a name (e.g. "Wedding Day Photos").
- Choose who can join — open to anyone with the link, protected by a code, verified by phone, or limited to your invited guests.
- Share it. You get a link and a downloadable QR code.
- Display the QR code at the event — on table cards, a welcome sign, or the screen — and guests scan to upload on the spot.
As photos come in, you watch the gallery fill up in real time. You decide whether guests can see everyone's photos and whether they can download them.
Three ways to collect more photos
- Put the QR code where people look — on every table, not just the entrance.
- Mention it out loud — a quick word from the host ("scan the code and share your photos!") doubles uploads.
- Keep it open after the event — many of the best shots get uploaded the next day, once guests are home and scrolling.
Why this beats a shared cloud folder
Cloud folders need accounts and permissions, and half your guests give up. A scan-and-upload gallery removes every barrier — that's the whole point. The easier you make it, the more memories you keep.
