Birthday party photo sharing

Birthday party photo sharing with a QR code

From the moment the candles are lit to the last song, your friends capture the party from every angle. A QR code on the table brings all those photos together in your Google Drive.

Birthday party photo sharing without the group-chat chaos

After a birthday party, the photos usually trickle in one by one through a group chat: compressed, out of order and mixed with forty messages of "happy birthday!" Some of the best pictures never arrive at all, because the person who took them forgot or did not want to flood the chat.

With a QR code on the table, friends send their photos and videos while the party is still happening. They scan, pick, upload — and you end up with one folder in your Google Drive holding the whole night in full quality.

Make the cake moment, and every other moment, count

Photo challenges turn sharing into part of the fun: "the happy birthday song", "a photo with the birthday star", "the best dance move". Guests earn points for photos, videos and challenges, with a cap per person so nobody wins just by uploading more.

A leaderboard shows who captured the most moments, and the gallery lets everyone relive the party together. Prefer something lower key? Turn the game off and keep only the uploads — every feature is optional.

Simple for you, even simpler for your friends

Choose "birthday" when you create the album and the theme, welcome message and challenges are already filled in. Connect your Google Drive with one click, download a ready-made table sign with your QR code, and you are done.

Your friends need nothing: no app, no account, no password. They just need their phone camera — which, at a birthday party, is already in their hand.

Kids’ parties, milestone birthdays and surprise parties

For a kids’ party, the parents are the photographers: put the QR code where they gather, next to the snacks or the gift table, and the gallery fills up with the moments you missed while you were cutting the cake.

For a 30th, 40th or 60th, the album becomes the guest book: friends from different chapters of your life each bring photos from their own corner of the room. For a surprise party, keep the gallery hidden until the big moment, then turn it on so everyone can relive the reveal.
