Every photo from your Christmas party, in one album

The Christmas party, captured by everyone

At a Christmas party, the best photos end up spread across dozens of phones — and most of them never get shared. With PhotoHive you put a QR code on every table. Colleagues scan it, upload photos and videos straight from their browser, and everything lands in one shared album.

Put the live slideshow on a screen or projector and the evening comes alive: every upload appears within seconds. No app to install, no accounts for guests, nothing for IT to set up.

1

Create your event

Name it, pick a cover photo and print the QR table cards — in about two minutes.

2

Guests scan and upload

Photos and videos go straight from their phones into the album, with no app and no login.

3

Share the album

Afterwards everyone gets the full album, and you download all of it as one ZIP file.

Tips for your Christmas party

  • Place a QR card on every table and one at the bar — wherever people stand with their phones.
  • Start the slideshow early: once the first photos appear, everyone joins in.
  • Switch on upload approval if photos should be checked before they appear on the big screen.
  • Mention the QR code in the welcome speech, so everyone knows about it from the start.
