Can I share galleries with a QR code?

Yes, of course!

If you are at a wedding, at an event or in a personal conversation with a client, you don't have to send your gallery link via WhatsApp or email – or even have it typed out character by character. Instead, you can find a QR code in the gallery's sharing menu for precisely this purpose. 

You can display the QR code on your screen, where it can be scanned immediately by other people using any smartphone camera. 

Of course, you can also download the QR code to print it on flyers, business cards, etc. or send it by email. 

How does a QR code actually work?

In a QR code, very different information can be stored in a pattern of black and white squares. This works very similarly to a barcode in the supermarket. The information is stored directly in the pattern of the QR code. The special thing about QR codes: the information stored in a QR code can be read quickly and easily with the camera app of any smartphone.

What is stored in the QR code for your picdrop galleries?

In the QR codes that are created for your picdrop galleries in the share menu, the link to your gallery is stored in such a way that it can be read with any smartphone. From there, it can be opened directly in the browser.

Would you like to share the link to the gallery directly with the people present during a shoot, for example? Then open the QR code in the gallery and let people scan it directly with their smartphone camera.

What happens to the QR code if I change the link for a gallery?

If you change the link to one of your galleries, the QR code found in the sharing menu for this gallery will also change automatically.

If you have already shared a QR code for a gallery and now change the gallery link, you must also share the QR code again. The old QR code still refers to the old link, which no longer belongs to the gallery.
