How do I set up a photo wall for a family or class reunion?

Create a free wall at qrwall.live, name it after the reunion, and open the display link on any TV or projector at the venue. The QR code appears on the wall itself — everyone scans it with their phone camera and their photos and messages appear live. Setup takes under 60 seconds, so even the least technical cousin can be in charge.

Can people share old photos as well as new ones?

Yes — this is what makes reunion walls special. Guests upload anything from their camera roll, including scanned prints and decades-old photos, so graduation shots and childhood holidays appear on screen next to photos taken minutes ago. A "then and now" wall builds itself.

Can relatives who couldn't make the trip still take part?

Yes. Anyone with the wall's link can post a photo and a message from anywhere, so family abroad or classmates who couldn't travel show up on the same screen as the people in the room. Share the link in the family group chat or the reunion email.

Will grandparents manage to post to the wall?

Yes. Phones detect the QR code automatically through the camera app — no app to install, no account to create. Point the camera at the screen, tap the link, add a photo. In practice people in their 70s and 80s post without help; a grandchild covers the rest.

How do we collect everyone's photos after the reunion?

They're already collected — every photo and message posted to the wall is in one place, without chasing anyone through a group chat afterwards. On paid tiers, download it all as a ZIP archive and share a gallery link with the whole family or class.

What does a reunion wall need at the venue?

A screen with a browser and an internet connection — a TV at the rented hall, a projector, or a large laptop. Guests submit over their own cellular data, so venue Wi-Fi only needs to cover the one display screen.

For family and class reunions

Forty years of photos, one live screen.

Everyone at the reunion scans a code off the screen and posts from their phone — the graduation photo from 1985, the scanned print of grandma's kitchen, and the group shot from five minutes ago, side by side on one wall.

Create your reunion wall

Free to start. No card, no commitment.

The archive nobody owns: Every branch of the family holds a different piece of it. The wall is the first place all of it appears together, in front of everyone at once.
Every generation can post: Point a camera at the code — no app, no account. People in their seventies and eighties post without help, and there is always a grandchild for the rest.
The ones who couldn't come: A cousin abroad posts through the same link and lands on the same screen, during the event rather than in a message afterwards.

A reunion photo wall is a live screen at your family or class reunion that everyone adds photos and messages to by scanning a QR code — and because guests can upload anything in their camera roll, not just new shots, the wall naturally becomes a "then and now" display: old scanned prints and decades-old photos appear next to pictures taken in the room. It solves the reunion's oldest problem — every branch of the family holds a different piece of the archive, and nobody ever sees it all together.

Relatives and classmates who couldn't travel can post from anywhere with the same link, and afterwards everything lives in one archive — no chasing photos through a group chat for the next month.

Three steps to the "then and now" wall

Whoever organizes the potluck spreadsheet can organize this.

STEP 1

Set up the screen at the venue

Create the wall ("Miller Family Reunion 2026" or "Class of '96 — 30 Years") and open the display link on the hall's TV, a projector, or a big laptop. The QR code appears on the wall itself.
STEP 2

Everyone digs into their camera roll

Guests scan the code off the screen and post old photos they've been carrying for years alongside new ones from the day — plus messages: "remember this trip?", "who's the kid on the left?"
STEP 3

Watch the generations react

Each post appears live in under a second. The teenagers post the grandparents' photos for them, the old photos spark stories, and afterwards the whole collection downloads as one archive (paid tiers).

Why reunions are the perfect wall

The content already exists — it just lives in fifty different pockets.

The archive is distributed

No single person owns the family's or the class's photo history — it's split across dozens of phones, albums and shoeboxes. The wall is the first place all of it appears together, in front of everyone at once.

Every generation can post

Phone cameras detect the QR code automatically — no app, no account. In practice people in their 70s and 80s post without help, and there's always a grandchild for the rest.

The people who couldn't come

The cousin abroad and the classmate who couldn't travel post through the same link and land on the same screen — part of the reunion instead of a name on the regrets list.

The same wall, in Grid

Everything on screen at once — the view people stand in front of, pointing at photos.

Grid puts decades side by side, which is when someone says “that's your mother at your age”. Slideshow gives each photo its moment while the room is seated for dinner. Switch between them from your phone; nobody rescans.
