OwnPix 
What happens after a guest scans?
With OwnPix, the QR code opens the event in a phone browser. Guests choose photos or videos and upload them; they do not need to install an app. Tell them if you have chosen a later reveal so they understand why the gallery is not visible yet.
QR album, shared folder, or group chat?
| Option | Useful when | Consider |
|---|---|---|
| Event album | You want one place for guest uploads | Anyone with the link can access the revealed album |
| Shared folder | Your group already uses the same storage service | Check upload permissions before sharing |
| Group chat | You want a quick conversation | Photos sit among messages rather than in an event gallery |
Put the code where it will be seen
Try the welcome table, bar, or dining tables. Write “Scan to add your photos” beside it and test a printed copy in the venue lighting. Send the link after the event for people who could not upload there.
Do and don't
| Do | Don't |
|---|---|
| Test with a guest before printing all your cards | Assume every phone will scan a tiny code |
| Explain when photos will appear | Leave guests guessing about a delayed reveal |
| Download the album before storage ends | Rely on the event link as your only backup |
