Features for your 40th birthday
Explore everything Snapr can do for your 40th birthday.
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.
Live Slideshow
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.
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
Snapr as the booth itself, running on a screen you already own: a tablet, a laptop or an old phone on a stand. It counts down, flashes the screen white and puts the picture on the wall a moment later, under the event's own name. Guests who would rather not queue scan the same QR code and shoot from their own phones into the same gallery. Nothing is delivered, nothing is rented and nothing prints.

Frequently Asked Questions
What guests and hosts ask about most.
Can we surprise the birthday person and still capture their reaction on Snapr?
Yes — place the QR code on tables before they arrive, and guests' phones are already primed to catch the exact moment they walk in. Every reaction gets uploaded straight into the live slideshow instead of staying locked on individual phones.
Speeches and roasts are a big part of turning 40 — can guests capture those too?
Absolutely, guests can keep uploading throughout the whole evening, not just party photos — so the toasts, roasts, and reaction shots during speeches all end up in the same gallery alongside the celebration photos.
Can we give the birthday person all the photos afterward as a gift?
Yes — with Premium, you can download every photo from the night at once as a ZIP file, so the guest of honor gets a full album of the celebration, curated by everyone who was there, as a keepsake.
