You might hear "share photos via QR code" but not clearly understand how it works.
In this article, we'll explain the mechanism and benefits of QR code photo sharing in simple terms.
What is a QR Code?
A QR code (Quick Response Code) is a type of two-dimensional barcode. Scanning it with your smartphone camera lets you access information like website URLs.
Developed in Japan, QR codes are now used for payments, tickets, advertising, and many other purposes worldwide.
How It Works with PicTomo
PicTomo implements photo sharing through the following mechanism:
1. QR Code Auto-Generated When Creating Album
When you create an album, a unique QR code is automatically generated. This QR code contains the URL to the album page.
2. Participants Scan the QR Code
When participants scan the QR code with their smartphones, the album page opens. No app installation or account registration required.
3. Upload Photos
Select and upload photos from the album page. Uploaded photos are instantly shared with everyone.
Benefits of QR Code Sharing
