How to share birthday photos
Create a private album and let guests upload in seconds with a QR code or link.
The album is set up in minutes, works in the browser or via app and stays accessible after the event. Place QR codes on tables, ask friends to remind guests and start a live slideshow on TV or projector so every snapshot becomes a shared memory.
Keep all birthday photos in one place, in original quality.
