Share an Album

PixCrowd Hub → Select an Event → Content → Albums → Select an Album → Share

Share an event album with guests using a link or QR code. You control whether the album is available to people who have its link.

Enable or disable sharing

  1. Open Albums from the selected event's Content menu.
  2. Select the album you want to share.
  3. Open the Share tab.
  4. Turn Enable sharing on to allow access through the album link, or off to disable that access.
  5. Click Save changes to apply your selection. Use Discard changes to abandon unsaved edits.

Important: Anyone who has the album link can view the album when sharing is enabled. Share the link only with people you intend to give access to the album.

Under Share link, PixCrowd displays the album's URL. For example:

https://www.pixcrowd.com/a/EXAMPLE-52

  • Copy icon: Copy the album URL so you can paste it into a message, email, or other communication.
  • Share: Open the available sharing options to send the album link.
  • QR Code: Display a QR code that guests can scan to open the album.

Make sure Enable sharing is turned on and your changes are saved before distributing the link.

An album link opens a shared collection of event photos. A standard event link opens the event's guest experience and, during the eligible RSVP period, can be used for open invitations and guest registration.

Use the album's Share tab when your goal is to distribute a photo album. Use the standard event link when inviting guests to the event.

Frequently asked questions

Can someone without a PixCrowd account open a shared album?

The Share tab states that anyone with the link can view the album once sharing is enabled.

What happens when I turn off sharing?

The album is no longer available through its shared link while sharing is disabled. Save the change for it to take effect.

Can I share an album with a QR code?

Yes. Select QR Code on the Share tab and let guests scan it to access the album, provided sharing is enabled.

Is sharing an album the same as inviting a guest to RSVP?

No. Album sharing gives access to an album. For open event invitations and RSVP, share the standard event link instead.
