TogetherWhat is a wedding photo QR code? It’s a printed code that opens a photo upload page on a guest’s phone. With Together, the guest scans it with the normal camera app, types their name, picks the event they’re at and adds photos from their gallery (or takes new ones), plus videos. Everything lands in the couple’s Google Drive, in that event’s folder with the guest’s name on it, and nobody needs to download anything.
How to make a QR code for wedding photos
- Sign in with Google at the top of this page and tell us your names, for the album folder and the card.
- Connect your Google Drive. Google asks you to allow one thing: letting Together create files. We make one album folder, plus a folder for each event you add, and can’t see anything else in your Drive.
- Your QR code is ready. Download it, print the table card, or design a poster with a spot left for the code, from ready-made designs for every tradition and event.
- Add your events, if you like. Tap the ones you’re having, from the welcome party or mehendi to the reception, or type your own. Each gets its own folder in your Drive album. One code works for all of them.
- Guests scan it, type their name and pick the event. They add photos from their gallery or the camera on the page, and videos up to 500 MB. Photos are resized on the phone first, so it works on patchy venue Wi-Fi.
- Everything arrives in your Drive within seconds, in that event’s folder, with the guest’s name on every file. Turn the code off after the wedding, or make a new one any time.
What your guests see
Most wedding photo sharing apps lose guests at one step: install this, make an account. Together asks for one thing, their name, so you know who took what.
- No app, no sign-in, no password. It opens in the phone’s browser, on Android or iPhone.
- One tap for the event. The rehearsal dinner’s photos don’t end up mixed in with the reception’s.
- Only their own photos. A guest sees what they added and can remove it. Nobody browses your album from a table card.
- Up to 100 photos and 20 videos each, and they can come back to add more after the wedding.
- Only photos and videos get in. Every file is checked the moment it arrives, and anything else is deleted.
Want more than uploads? Get the Together app
The QR code on this page does one job well: it collects your guests’ photos. The free Together app does the rest, with the same account and the same album.
Find photos by face
Turn on face sharing and family take a selfie to see every photo they’re in. How face recognition works.
One album for everyone
Browse every guest’s photos in one place, heart your favourites and share albums with family.
Slideshow on the big screen
Cast the album to the TV at the reception, so guests watch their photos come in.
Your whole wedding plan
Checklist, budget, guest list, RSVPs and vendors, shared with the people helping you. See the planner.
Where to put your wedding QR code
Put it where people are sitting with their phone in hand and a minute to spare.
- Every dinner table, in a small stand or on the table number card. This is where most uploads happen.
- The welcome board and the bar, for guests who arrive early or wander.
- The photo booth and selfie wall, with “Add your booth photos here”.
- Every event, not just the big day. The welcome party, rehearsal dinner, mehendi and sangeet all have their own photos. Put the card out at each one, and add each as an event so its photos get their own folder.
- Your e-invite and thank-you message. Guests who forgot on the day can still send photos a week later.

Questions couples ask
Is the wedding photo QR code free?
Yes. Making the QR code, printing it and collecting photos is free. The free plan holds up to 300 photos, saved in your own Google Drive.
Do guests need to download an app?
No. The QR code opens a web page in the phone’s browser. Guests type their name and add photos. Nothing to install and no account to make.
Do I need the app to make the QR code?
No. Make it on this page: sign in with Google, connect your Google Drive and your code is ready to print. The Together app adds face recognition, a shared family album, a TV slideshow and your whole wedding plan.
Where do the photos go?
Into your own Google Drive, in one album folder. Add your events and each gets a folder inside it, with the guest’s name on every photo; without events, each guest gets a folder of their own. Together can only see the files it creates there.
Can photos be sorted by event?
Yes. Add your events on this page, like the welcome party, sangeet or reception, and each gets its own folder in your Drive album. Guests pick the event before adding photos. Rename or delete one of those folders in Drive and the list guests see follows within minutes.
Can guests upload videos?
Yes. Videos up to 500 MB go straight from the guest’s phone into your Google Drive, next to the photos from that event. You watch them in Drive; the upload page doesn’t play them back.
Can someone upload something that isn’t a photo?
No. The page only takes photos and videos (MP4, MOV and WebM), and every file is checked the moment it arrives: anything else is deleted from your Drive straight away.
Can guests see everyone else’s photos?
Not from the QR page. Each guest sees only the photos they added. You choose what to share later.
Can guests find the photos they are in?
Yes, in the Together app. Turn on face sharing and family can take a selfie to see every photo they appear in. The QR page itself does no face recognition.
What if the QR code ends up on social media?
Turn it off on this page or in the app and make a new one. The old printed code stops working straight away.
Does it work on iPhone?
Yes. The iPhone camera app reads QR codes, and the upload page works in Safari and Chrome.
