How QR code works with Snapr

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.

Snapr makes QR code simple. Create an event, get a QR code, and share it with guests. They scan and upload directly from their phones — no app needed. All photos are automatically collected and displayed in real-time.

You get full control: choose display mode, adjust speed, and download every photo in one click, and keep them a full year with premium. Perfect for weddings, birthdays, corporate parties, confirmations and any occasion where photos need to be shared.

Setting up QR Code

1Open the QR tab in the event dashboard and scan the code with your own phone first — you should land on the upload page for your event, not an error.
2There is no PNG or SVG export yet: print the page straight from the browser (Cmd/Ctrl+P) or take a screenshot and drop it into your table cards, menu or sign at the size you need.
3Print on matte paper, keep at least 5 mm of white margin around the code, and never place it over a photo or a dark background — the scanner needs the contrast.
4Test it in the room, at the distance and light level guests will actually have: one card on a table, one sign by the entrance, both scanned from where people will stand.

QR Code — the specifics

What the code contains: A https://snapr.no/<language>/guest/<event-id> link plus a 64-character key — around 110 characters in total, unique per event.
Error correction: Level H in the dashboard (about 30% of the code can be damaged and still scan), level M on the big-screen overlay.
Print size: Table card: at least 4 × 4 cm. Sign read from 2 m: at least 20 cm. Rule of thumb — code width = scan distance ÷ 10.
Size on the big screen: 15% of screen width by default, placed in one of the four corners; toggled with Q or a click on the screen.
How long it works: As long as the event lives: 14 days on the free plan, 365 days on Premium. The key never changes, so a printed code stays valid the whole time — and cannot be revoked.
Export as a file: Not available yet — the download button says so. Print from the browser or screenshot the code; it is rendered as SVG, so it stays sharp when scaled up.

When something goes wrong

A guest points the camera at the code and nothing happens.

Older Android camera apps need QR scanning switched on in settings, and some guests are in a camera app that does not scan at all. Write the plain address under the code as a fallback so it can be typed in — it is long, but it works.

The code will not scan in the venue's low light.

Glossy card stock reflects candles and spotlights straight back into the lens. Reprint on matte paper, move the card away from the tea light, or send guests to the QR overlay on the big screen — that one is backlit and always readable.

The page opens but says the link is invalid.

The address lost its ?k=... part — usually because someone copied a shortened version, or the code was cropped in a design tool. Regenerate it from the QR tab and copy the whole thing.

What it is not good for

It is not access control: anyone who can photograph the code — including a guest who snaps it off the big screen and forwards it — can upload, and the key cannot be revoked, so don't use it where the guest list has to stay closed.
