How live slideshow works for flea markets
Snapr makes live slideshow for your flea market simple and effortless. Create an event in seconds, get a unique QR code, and share it with your guests. They scan the code and upload photos directly — no app download needed.
A full-screen browser page at snapr.no/<language>/event/<event-id>/display that listens for new uploads and shows them as they arrive. It runs on whatever drives the screen — laptop, TV browser, Chromecast or AirPlay — and needs no software installed.
Everything is included in the free tier: up to 200 photos, live slideshow, QR code, and 14-day storage. Need more? Premium keeps the photos a full year, with original-quality downloads and unlimited uploads, for a one-time payment.
Setting up Live Slideshow
- 1Open the display link on the machine that drives the screen and press F for fullscreen. The controls fade out after three seconds without mouse movement, so the picture is clean.
- 2Pick the mode: 1 for one photo at a time, 2 for a grid of up to six. Grid suits a mingling crowd; single mode suits a dinner where people actually look up.
- 3Set the pace with + and −: 1 to 30 seconds per photo, 5 by default. Videos always play to the end and then advance on their own.
- 4Connect the screen — HDMI cable, Chrome's Cast for a Chromecast, or AirPlay mirroring from a Mac or iPad — then leave the QR overlay on (Q) so latecomers can join straight off the screen.
Live Slideshow — the specifics
- Time from upload to screen
- Seconds. The photo is downloaded in the background first, then slotted in right after the current slide in single mode, or about six places ahead in grid mode — so it appears within a slide or two, never mid-transition.
- Display modes
- Single (one photo or video filling the screen) and grid (up to six in an asymmetric layout, one large plus five smaller). Key 1 and 2.
- Speed
- 1–30 seconds per photo in one-second steps, 5 seconds by default. Videos ignore the setting and play to the end, muted.
- Getting it onto a TV
- HDMI cable from a laptop, tab casting from Chrome or Edge to a Chromecast, AirPlay mirroring from Mac/iPhone/iPad, or the smart TV's own browser. HDMI is the only one that cannot drop out.
- Network
- The screen needs a steady internet connection, not a fast one — new photos are a few MB each. Casting and AirPlay additionally require the screen and the sending device to be on the same wifi.
- Controls
- Arrow keys step through photos, space or K pauses, F is fullscreen, Q hides the QR code, 1/2 switch mode, +/− change speed, ? lists the shortcuts. On-screen buttons hide after three still seconds.
When something goes wrong
The screen goes black an hour into the party.
It is the laptop sleeping, not the slideshow. Fullscreen does not stop sleep — set the machine to never sleep on mains power, keep it plugged in, and close the lid only if it is set to stay awake with the lid shut.
New photos stop appearing and the wifi icon in the corner turns red.
The display lost its connection, usually to venue wifi that expects a login page every few hours. Reload the page — the whole gallery comes back — and if it keeps happening, tether the machine to a phone for the evening.
Casting shows the wrong thing: a blank screen, or the slideshow with browser tabs around it.
Cast the tab, not the desktop, from Chrome's ⋮ menu, and press F for fullscreen after casting rather than before. On AirPlay, mirror first, then go fullscreen on the Mac.
What it is not good for
It shows every upload the moment it lands, with no approval step, and the display link is public to anyone who has it — so it is a poor fit for a screen in a room where an unwanted photo would be a problem.

Built for the one evening where it has to just work.
QR Code
The QR code holds one thing: the guest upload address for a single event — a snapr.no link with the event id and a 64-character access key. A phone camera opens it in the browser. Every event gets its own code, and it points at nothing else.
Photo Sharing
After scanning the QR code a guest lands on an upload page in the phone's browser: one button opens the camera, the other picks from the gallery, up to 20 files per go. The files join the event's shared collection and appear on the big screen.
Photo Wall
A photo wall is the grid mode of the display page: instead of one picture at a time, the screen tiles up to six guest photos at once in a fixed asymmetric layout, and the selection moves one photo forward on every interval as new uploads arrive.
TV Display
TV display means getting the event's display page onto the television at the venue. Three routes: an HDMI cable from a laptop, casting a Chrome tab to a Chromecast, or AirPlay screen mirroring. The TV runs an ordinary web page — there is no Snapr TV app.
Photo Booth Alternative
Using Snapr instead of renting a photo booth: guests shoot on their own phones, upload through a QR code, and the pictures appear on a screen in the room. There is no box, no camera, no lighting and no prints — only the live screen and the shared gallery.
Guest Upload
Guest upload is the core of Snapr: a guest points their phone camera at your QR code, the upload page opens in the browser, and they pick photos from the camera roll or shoot a new one. No app, no account, no password — the link itself is the access.
Frequently Asked Questions
What guests and hosts ask about most.
How can Snapr be used at a flea market?
Put the QR code up at the entrance or on tables so visitors and sellers can scan it and upload photos of standout finds, busy stalls, and the community atmosphere. Everything shows up live on a screen, which also helps draw more people in as they walk by.
Can sellers use Snapr to show off items for sale?
Snapr isn't a sales listing tool, but sellers and organizers can absolutely snap photos of tables and items and add them to the shared gallery, giving the market a lively, documented feel and helping promote it afterward on social media.
What does Snapr cost for a flea market?
The free plan includes 200 photos, a live slideshow, and 14-day storage, which works well for a single-day flea market. For a bigger event with more visitors, Premium is a one-time payment of around $19 for unlimited photos and 1 year of storage.
