Upload Troubleshooting

Most uploads complete without any issues, but here are solutions to common problems your guests might encounter.

QR Code Won't Scan

  • Ensure good lighting – QR codes need contrast to scan properly
  • Hold the phone steady and at the right distance (10-30cm)
  • Clean the camera lens
  • The printed code may be too small – try a larger print

Upload Takes Too Long

  • Check the Wi-Fi or mobile signal strength
  • Large video files take longer – this is normal
  • Try uploading fewer files at once
  • Wedding venues often have weak signal – consider providing guest Wi-Fi

Upload Fails

If an upload fails, the system automatically retries. If it continues to fail:

  • Check internet connection
  • Try closing and reopening the browser
  • Upload files individually rather than in bulk
  • Try a different browser or device

"Gallery Not Found" Error

This means the QR code link doesn't match a valid gallery. Check that:

  • The QR code is printed correctly
  • Your account is active and paid
  • The gallery hasn't expired

"Uploads Disabled" Message

This appears when you've turned off uploads in your settings. To re-enable:

  1. Log in to your account
  2. Go to Settings
  3. Toggle "Accept Uploads" back on

Photo Doesn't Appear in Gallery

Photos go through processing after upload. Allow a few minutes for:

  • Thumbnail generation
  • Quality assessment
  • Face detection (Premium)

If it still doesn't appear after 10 minutes, contact support.
