Christmas party photos
Christmas party: collect every guest’s photos with a QR code
Put a QR code on the tables and colleagues or family upload their photos straight from the phone browser – no app, no account. Everything lands in one album that you can show live on the office TV and download after the party.
- No app or account for guests
- Christmas photo missions included
- Deleted automatically afterwards
The best photos of the Christmas party end up on forty different phones. One QR code brings them together.
Company party, team dinner or Christmas with the whole family: guests scan the code on the table, pick their photos, and they appear in one shared album – in their own language, without installing anything. You decide who sees which photos, and the album is deleted automatically afterwards.
Ready before the first mulled wine
Four steps and about ten minutes of preparation.
- 01
Create the event
Choose the Christmas party template when you create your free event. It comes with six festive photo missions you can edit.
- 02
Print the QR table cards
Download ready-made QR table cards or a poster as a PDF and put them on the tables, at the bar and next to the buffet.
- 03
Guests upload and join in
Colleagues or relatives scan the code with the phone camera and upload in the browser. No app, no account, guest pages in English, German, French, Spanish and Italian.
- 04
Slideshow, then download
Run the live slideshow on the office TV or projector during the party, and download all photos as a ZIP file afterwards.
12 Christmas party photo missions everyone can join
Friendly, inclusive and office-safe: nobody has to dress up, drink or make a fool of themselves. The first six come with the Christmas party template; add any of the others in a few seconds.
- 01
Everyone in one photo
The whole team or family in one frame. Use the self-timer so the photographer is in it, too.
- 02
Someone new
A photo with someone you rarely talk to: another team, another office, another branch of the family.
- 03
Cheers!
Raise a glass together. Mulled wine, punch, juice or water all count.
- 04
Festive detail
A decoration, a candle or a table detail that most people walked straight past.

Secret Santa
The moment a present is unwrapped, at Secret Santa or the family gift exchange.

Thank the organisers
A thank-you photo with the people who planned the party.
- 07
Best dessert
The dessert or Christmas biscuit everyone was talking about.
- 08
Hands only
A festive close-up without faces: hands with mugs, gifts or cards. Ideal for anyone who prefers not to be in photos.
- 09
Winter view
The view outside: lights, snow or the city at night.
- 10
Hello from afar
Wave to colleagues or relatives who joined by video call: screen and room in one picture.
- 11
Our year in one picture
Recreate the team’s or family’s highlight of the year with a prop or a pose.
- 12
New this year
Everyone who joined the team this year, or at a family party, all generations together.
One album for every kind of Christmas party
Company Christmas party
One album for the whole company, reachable only via the QR code or link. The slideshow runs on the screen at the venue or in the office.
Team dinner
One QR card per table. The next morning, everyone has the photos, not just whoever took them.
Family Christmas
Grandparents, cousins and the children’s table in one album. Relatives abroad see the upload page in their own language.
Hybrid and remote teams
Share the link in the team chat so colleagues working from home can add their photos, too.
What colleagues should know about the photos
Not legal advice – just the points worth two sentences in the invitation. Our guide to office Christmas party photos goes into more detail.
Nobody needs an app or an account, and guests upload without entering a name or an e-mail address.
The album can only be reached via the QR code or link, and you decide whether guests see all photos or only their own.
As the host you can delete any photo straight away, even while the slideshow is running.
Photos are deleted automatically: free albums: 30 days after the event; unlocked albums: 12 months.
Photos are stored with Google Firebase in the USA. Say so in the invitation, and talk to your works council or data protection officer before the party if you have one.
Taking part is voluntary. Offer a “no photos, please” sticker, and point camera-shy colleagues to the “hands only” mission.
Ask before anything is posted publicly: an internal album is not the company’s social media.
Your Christmas party album in about a minute
Create the event, choose the Christmas party template and print the QR table cards.
Christmas party photos: frequently asked questions
How do guests share photos at a Christmas party without an app?
They scan the QR code on the table with the phone camera. The album opens in the browser, where they choose photos from their camera roll or take a new one. No download, no account.
Can we show the photos live on the office TV?
Yes. Open the slideshow on a laptop connected to the TV or projector. New photos appear automatically, which reminds everyone to keep sharing.
What does it cost?
Creating the event is free and includes free photos. If your party takes more, the host or any guest can unlock unlimited photos for the event with a one-time payment of €29.99. There is no subscription. No VAT is charged under § 19 UStG (small business exemption).
Is it suitable for a company party with employees?
Yes. Colleagues need no account, the album is only reachable via the code or link, you can delete any photo at once, and the album is deleted automatically (free albums: 30 days after the event; unlocked albums: 12 months). Photos are stored with Google Firebase in the USA – mention that in the invitation and involve your works council or data protection officer if you have one.
How do the photo missions work?
If you create the event with the Christmas party template, six missions are added automatically. Guests see them on the upload page and can submit a photo for each one. You can edit, delete or add missions at any time.
Can relatives abroad join a family Christmas album?
Yes. Send them the link. The guest pages are available in English, German, French, Spanish and Italian.
Can guests upload videos?
Not yet. Guest Pictures collects photos only.
