Photo gallery QR code
Image Gallery QR Code Generator
An image gallery QR code puts a whole set of photos behind one scan. Visitors see a tidy grid of pictures, tap one to open it full screen and swipe through the rest – and you can add or remove photos whenever you like.
- Upload several PNG, JPEG or WebP images
- Thumbnail grid plus a full-screen, swipeable viewer
- Change the photos later without reprinting
How to create an image gallery QR code
Galleries are dynamic codes, so they live in your free Qdestera account. You only need the photos you want to share.
-
Upload your photos
Choose Gallery as the QR type and upload your images in PNG, JPEG or WebP. Give the gallery a title – it appears at the top of the page.
-
Brand the gallery page
Add your colors, fonts and logo header, a short description, link buttons and social icons so the page feels like part of your brand.
-
Design the code
Style the QR code with colors or a gradient, module and eye shapes, your logo and a frame with a call to action such as “SEE THE PHOTOS”.
-
Download and share
Export PNG, JPG, SVG or PDF. Print it on brochures, signs and cards, or show it on a screen at the venue.
What is an image gallery QR code?
An image gallery QR code is a dynamic QR code that opens a hosted page with several pictures. The page shows your photos as a grid of thumbnails. A tap opens the full-screen viewer, where visitors move between photos with arrows or a swipe and see where they are, such as “4 / 12”.
The code itself only carries a short link, so it stays small and easy to scan no matter how many photos you add. The photos live in your dashboard, where you can add new ones, remove old ones or replace the whole set.
If you only ever need one picture, an image QR code is simpler: it can even open the image file directly, without a page around it.
Who uses a photo gallery QR code
Whenever one picture is not enough and a printed catalog would be out of date by next month.
Real estate listings
Show every room on the window card or the sign outside. Our real estate page has more ideas for agents.
Product catalogs
Show all colors, angles and details of a product on the shelf tag or in the packaging insert.
Event photos
Share the organizer's photos after a wedding, conference or party: print the code on programs or thank-you cards and add the pictures when they are ready. See event ideas.
Hotels and rentals
Show rooms, the pool or the view on brochures, booking confirmations and signs in the lobby.
Salons and renovations
Let clients browse before-and-after photos of your work while they wait or right from your price list.
Image QR code or gallery QR code?
Both are dynamic and editable. Choose by the number of pictures and how you want people to browse them.
| Image QR code | Gallery QR code | |
|---|---|---|
| Several pictures behind one code | No | Yes |
| Thumbnail grid | No | Yes |
| Full-screen viewer with swipe | No | Yes |
| Can open the image file with no page around it | Yes | No |
| Branded page with your colors and logo | Yes | Yes |
| Change pictures without reprinting | Yes | Yes |
Keep the gallery fresh without reprinting
Because every gallery is a dynamic QR code, the printed code never has to change. Add the new season's products, swap the photos of a sold property for the next listing, or upload the event pictures the morning after – everyone who scans the same code sees the current set.
Scans are counted, too. QR code analytics shows scans by day, weekday and month, by country and city and by operating system, so you know whether the sign on the fence or the brochure on the counter brings more visitors.
You share, visitors view
The gallery shows the photos you and your team upload. Visitors can look at them and open them full screen; they cannot upload pictures of their own.
Storage
Every uploaded photo counts toward your plan's storage, and each upload has a size limit. Web-sized images keep the gallery fast and leave room for more pictures.
Sharing event photos after the day
“When will we see the photos?” is the question every organizer hears. Create the gallery before the event, print its code on the invitation, place cards or program, and start with a cover picture. When the photographer delivers, upload your selection – guests who scanned earlier use the very same code to find the pictures.
The gallery is built for photos the organizer shares, not for collecting pictures from guests. You pick and upload every image, so only the shots you want to publish ever appear.
Tips for a gallery people enjoy browsing
-
Start with your best photo
The first pictures in the grid decide whether people keep browsing. Lead with the strongest shot.
-
Quality over quantity
A focused set of sharp, well-lit photos beats dozens of similar ones. Remove near-duplicates.
-
Resize before uploading
Camera originals are much larger than a phone screen needs. Web-sized copies load faster on mobile data and save storage.
-
Keep a consistent look
Similar framing and light across the set make a gallery look professional, especially for products and rooms.
-
Tell people what they will see
“Scan for photos of every room” or “Scan to see the full collection” gives people a reason to reach for their phone.
-
Test on a phone
Scan the proof, open a few photos full screen and swipe through before you print in bulk.
Too many photos for one flyer?
Put them all behind one gallery QR code on the free plan and update the set whenever you like.
How do I make one QR code for multiple photos?
Sign up for free, choose the Gallery QR type, upload your photos and download the code. Scanning it opens a gallery page with all your pictures.
Which image formats can I upload?
PNG, JPEG and WebP. JPEG or WebP work best for photos; PNG suits graphics with text or transparency.
How many photos can a gallery have?
There is no fixed number of photos per gallery, but every upload has a size limit and all photos count toward your plan's storage.
Can I add or remove photos after printing?
Yes. Change the photos in your dashboard at any time; the printed code shows the updated gallery from the next scan.
Can guests upload their own photos to the gallery?
No. Only you and team members with edit rights add photos. Visitors can view and enlarge them, but not upload.
Do people need an app to view the gallery?
No. The phone camera reads the code and the gallery opens in the browser, with a full-screen viewer that supports swiping.
Can I brand the gallery page?
Yes. Add your colors, fonts, logo header, a description, link buttons and social icons to the page.
Is the gallery QR code free?
You can create one on the free plan without a credit card. Storage, the number of dynamic codes and the QR types included depend on the plan – see pricing.
Can I see how many people opened the gallery?
Yes. Every scan is counted, and you see scans over time, by country and city and by operating system.
