How Pixsie works

Three steps

    One field, and you have a gallery and a QR code. Nothing to install and nothing to pay.

  2. II

    Put the code out

    Print it for the tables, add it to the invitations, or just send the link. Guests scan with the camera app they already have.

  3. III

    Collect and download

    Photos land in your gallery as they arrive, and you take the whole set away in one archive.
