Master gallery QR vs per-album QRs

Every PixVenu gallery comes with at least one QR code — the master gallery QR that lands guests on the full gallery view. If you've also created albums, each one gets its own QR code that drops scanners directly into that specific album.

Use the master QR on signage that should send guests to the whole event — venue welcome signs, table cards, take-home invites, the back of the wedding program. Anyone scanning lands on the gallery root and can browse every album, upload to the "no-album" general bucket, and find everything in one place.

Use a per-album QR when you want to direct guests to a specific moment. A "Ceremony" QR at the table cards keeps ceremony photos in one place; a "Reception" QR at the bar reduces the chance of guests dropping reception shots into the ceremony album. The album QR is just a deep link — guests can still navigate to other albums after scanning, but the default destination is the album you scoped them to.

Both QR variants come in PNG and SVG formats. PNG covers Canva paste and most digital uses; SVG is for print shops and large-format signage where vector quality matters at scale. You'll find both downloads inside the gallery's main share card and inside each album's QR dialog. Same matrix encodes either way — guests scanning either get the same outcome.

Album QRs are scoped to ONE album. Hosts running phase-specific events (a multi-day conference with daily themes, a wedding with separate ceremony and reception phases) sometimes print a small panel showing several album QRs side-by-side. The print sign and take-home card routes accept ?album=<slug> query params so the printed artifact is also album-scoped — copy the link from the album QR dialog and paste it as the printer's source.

There's no hard limit on how many albums you create, so the QR count grows with them. The master gallery QR doesn't change when you add more albums — you can print it once early in the event prep and keep using it.
