Photo album
How does the QR photo album work?
By Nimanto 2 min read
In short
Open the invitation from your dashboard and choose Photo album. Print its QR code or share its link, and guests add photos and short videos from their own phones. Everyone invited can see them, and you decide what stays.
An invitation with a premium design (Design Genie designs included) comes with a photo album of its own, and so does every invitation of a host on Nimanto Pro or Nimanto Business. Guests who open it can look at the photos, add their own, save and share them, and report one that should not be there. Nothing to install, nothing to sign up for: the album link is all they need.
Who has an album
| Your invitation | Photo album | |---|---| | A premium design, on any plan | Yes | | Any design, on Nimanto Pro or Nimanto Business | Yes | | A free design, on Free | No |
On a free design on Free, the Photo album page says the album is not included and points to the plans. Choosing a premium design for the invitation, or moving to Nimanto Pro or Business, opens it at once, with your settings as you left them. If a host moves back to Free, an invitation on a free design loses its album: guests see "The photo album for this event is closed for now", and the photos already added are kept for when it opens again.
Where to find it
- 1Open the invitation from your dashboard.
- 2Choose Photo album in the invitation's sidebar.
The page shows the album's QR code and link under Ask guests to scan, with Copy link and Download QR. Print the code for the tables or the entrance, or send the link on WhatsApp.
Print a poster for the venue
Print a poster opens a one-page poster dressed in your invitation's own art and colours: the QR code, three steps for guests, and the album link written out for anyone whose camera will not scan. It fits A4 and US Letter. The same poster lives under Downloads; see Downloads and the album poster.
What guests do
Guests point their phone camera at the code, tap the link and choose Add your photos. They can add several at a time, give a name to be shown with their photos, and add a caption. Guests who opened their personal link are already named. See How guests add photos.
What you see
Every photo lands on your Photo album page, where you can hide, delete or approve it, and block anyone who should not be adding more. The page counts what is shown, what is waiting and what is hidden.
Guests who said yes get an e-mail when new photos are added, batched so nobody is flooded. You get your own e-mail, at most one an hour, when guests add photos. Both can be switched off; see Album settings.
