QR Code Wedding Photo Upload for Guests
Poolr by MRVL is a guest photo collection app that lets every wedding guest upload photos by scanning a QR code on their phone, with no app download, no account, and no friction.
How QR Code Wedding Photo Upload Works
Create an event in Poolr, generate a unique QR code, and display it at your wedding. Guests scan the code, open the page in their browser, and tap to upload photos directly from their phone. Photos appear in your shared album instantly in full resolution. There is no app to download, no account to create, and no login required. This means guests who are not tech-savvy, on older phones, or unfamiliar with the platform can still participate. The entire process takes seconds. As of 2026, Poolr has collected photos from thousands of events using this same frictionless method.
Full-Resolution Photos in One Shared Album
Every photo uploaded to your Poolr event is stored at full resolution and appears instantly in a shared gallery viewable by you and your guests. Unlike phone messaging or social media, Poolr keeps all wedding photos in one organised place, meaning you do not lose photos across text threads, Instagram DMs, or group chats. You can download all photos in bulk as a ZIP file, or upgrade to higher tiers to unlock face recognition, automated photobook generation, and highlight reel creation from your gallery.
Pricing for Wedding Events
Poolr offers flexible pricing to match your event size. The Free tier holds 30 photos for 7 days, perfect for small gatherings. Moment is £8.99 and holds 200 photos. Occasion is £19.99 with unlimited photos that never expire, making it the most popular choice for weddings. Forever is £34.99 and includes 2 years of retention plus face recognition and highlight reel features. If you are planning multiple weddings or events, Host+ is £49.99 per year for unlimited event creation at a lower cost per event.
Live Photo Wall and Premium Features
Upgrade to Occasion or Forever to display photos on a live photo wall screen at your reception as guests upload them in real time. This turns phone uploads into a shared entertainment experience. Occasion also unlocks an audio guestbook so guests can leave voice messages, custom event frame overlays that appear on every photo, and automated printed photobook generation from your final gallery. Guests can upload video clips as well as photos on these higher tiers.
Why Hosts Choose Poolr for Weddings
Unlike group chat photo sharing or cloud storage apps, Poolr is designed specifically for event photo collection. Guests do not need to download an app or remember a login. The QR code makes participation a single tap. Your shared album never expires on Occasion or Forever tiers, so you keep every wedding photo permanently. You can moderate photos before they appear, download them all at once, or generate a photobook within days of your event. Professional wedding photographers also use Poolr alongside their own work to give couples and guests a complete archive of the day.
