====== Share Links & QR Codes ======

Every gallery has three ways in: a QR code, a link, and a six-letter gallery
code. Most guests will use the QR code at the booth. 

===== Gallery URL =====

Open the event at [[https://app.imgbooth.photos/pbadmin|app.imgbooth.photos]]
and look for "Copy URL". From there you can copy the gallery link
or download the QR code as an image file.

Download the QR code the week before the event. You'll want
time to print it.

>Suggestion: Print bussiness cards with the event name and QR Code on it.
===== Using the QR code =====

The QR code is how nearly everyone will reach the gallery. Guests point a
phone camera at it and the gallery opens.


==== Making it scannable ====

  * Print it at least 2 inches square — larger if it'll be scanned
    from more than arm's reach
  * Keep a clear white margin around all four sides
  * Matte paper over glossy — glossy throws glare under booth lighting

> ⚠️ **Test the printed code before the event.** Scan the actual printed
> sign with an actual phone in dim light.


===== Using the share link =====

The gallery link can you used to go directly to the gallery. 

Example: <code>https://app.imgbooth.photos/ABCDEF</code>


===== The six-letter gallery code =====

Each gallery has a six-letter code guests can enter directly. It exists as a unique identifer for each gallery. 

You can enter the code at https://app.imgbooth.photos or add it to the end of the URL like listed above.

>>>Suggestion: Run the gallery link through a URL like tinyurl.com instead.

===== A note on privacy =====

Anyone with the link, QR code, or gallery code can view the gallery. There's
no guest login. Treat the link as semi-public.
