Instead, you can find a QR code&nbsp;<strong>in the gallery&#8217;s sharing menu<\/strong>&nbsp;for precisely this purpose.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can display the QR code on your screen, where it can be scanned immediately by other people using any smartphone camera.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Of course, you can also download the QR code to print it on flyers, business cards, etc. or send it by email.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:60px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>How does a QR code actually work?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>In a QR code, very different information can be stored in a pattern of black and white squares. This works very similarly&nbsp;<strong>to a barcode in the supermarket<\/strong>. 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&nbsp;<strong>can be read quickly and easily with the camera app of any smartphone<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:60px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What is stored in the QR code for your picdrop galleries?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:60px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What happens to the QR code if I change the link for a gallery?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>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.&nbsp;<strong>The old QR code still refers to the old link, which no longer belongs to the gallery.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":18,"template":"","faq-category":[34,29],"class_list":["post-618","faq","type-faq","status-publish","hentry","faq-category-my-clients","faq-category-using-picdrop"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.picdrop.com\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/faq\/618","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.picdrop.com\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/faq"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.picdrop.com\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/faq"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.picdrop.com\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/18"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.picdrop.com\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=618"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"faq-category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.picdrop.com\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/faq-category?post=618"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
