Updated Oct 6, 2026 ## How do I share baby shower photos with everyone who came? Upload the photos and the video from the shower together and you get one album link. Guests open it on any phone with no app or account, see every photo full size and can save the lot as a ZIP. If the parents-to-be would rather keep it close, add a password, and downloads can be switched off on any plan. ### Reaches the family who were not there Grandparents overseas, a sister who could not get time off, the friend on bed rest. One link reaches all of them in the channel they already use, and opens on whatever device they have, from a new phone to an old tablet.

An album link is unlisted and not indexed by search engines; add downloads-off on any plan or a password on any plan to match exactly what the parents asked for.

Photos open full size, and PDFs like the guest-book page open in a viewer alongside them. ### A QR code for the thank-you cards Every album has a QR code you can download and print on a thank-you card or a small sticker. A guest points their phone camera at it and the album opens, no typing, no app. The view counter shows it being opened as the cards arrive. [Make a QR code](https://linkinseconds.com/qr-code-generator) ### Being straight about what this does not do Guests cannot add their photos. There is no guest upload. Ask people to send you their photos, then upload them together. No reactions or comments for guests. It is a page of photos, not a social feed. People react in the group chat, as they already do. Unlisted is not secret. Anyone with the link can open and forward it. Use a password on any plan for anything the parents want kept close. Storage is finite. Free covers an album at web size with files up to 250 MB each; Pro raises it to 500 MB per file for full-resolution photos and video. Each photo inside is its own link. ## How it works - 1 ### Ask the parents-to-be how public it should be Some are happy for the photos to go everywhere; some would rather the bump and the scan picture stayed with close family. Ask before you send anything, and choose the settings to match. - 2 ### Upload the photos and the reveal video together Gather photos from the people who took them, as files so they stay sharp, and drop them on the upload card with any video. They become one album, and each photo gets its own link inside it. - 3 ### Send the link, or print it on the thank-you cards Post the link in the guest chat or email it to family abroad. The QR code fits on a thank-you card, so every guest gets the photos with their note. ## Who the photos are really for The guests were there; the people who most want these photos often were not. Grandparents overseas, a sister who could not get time off, the friend on bed rest herself. And the parents-to-be, who spent the afternoon opening gifts and have almost no pictures of their own. One link reaches all of them in the channel they already use, and opens on whatever device they have, from a new phone to an old tablet. ## Private enough for the people involved Pregnancy and baby photos are more personal than most party pictures, and different families draw the line in different places. An album link is unlisted and not indexed by search engines, but anyone who has it can open and forward it. So match the settings to what the parents asked for. - ·Open link: fine for photos everyone is happy to have shared. - ·Downloads off (any plan): people can look but there is no save button. A screenshot is still possible. - ·Password: only people you give the password to can open the album. - ·Disable (any plan): one switch takes it offline if the parents change their mind. ## The QR code on the thank-you cards Thank-you cards go out anyway, so let them carry the photos. Every album has a QR code you can download and print on the card or a small sticker. A guest points their phone camera at it and the album opens, no typing, no app. The view counter in your dashboard shows the album being opened as the cards arrive. ## Photos, the reveal video and the games The reveal moment is usually a video, and it should play rather than download. Videos in the album stream with seeking, so the grandparents can replay the confetti without waiting for a big file. You can add other bits alongside: a scan of the guest-book page with everyone's advice, or a PDF with the answers to the baby-food tasting game. Photos open full size; PDFs open in a viewer. ## The gift table, for the thank-you notes A practical one for the parents: take a photo of each gift with its card before the wrapping goes in the bin, and keep those in their own small album, just for the two of them. When it is time to write thank-you notes, the photo tells you who gave what. Keep that album unshared, or send the link only to the partner who is writing half the cards. ## A separate album for the baby, later When the baby arrives there will be a new wave of photos and a smaller, closer audience. Start a new album for that rather than adding to the shower album, so each link reaches the right people. Every photo inside has its own link for the relative who only wants the one on the fridge. shower-games.jpgJPG cake-table.jpgJPG reveal-portrait.jpgJPG gift-flatlay.pngPNG guest-highlights.jpgJPG shower-games.jpgJPG cake-table.jpgJPG reveal-portrait.jpgJPG gift-flatlay.pngPNG guest-highlights.jpgJPG shower-games.jpgJPG cake-table.jpgJPG reveal-portrait.jpgJPG gift-flatlay.pngPNG guest-highlights.jpgJPG shower-games.jpgJPG cake-table.jpgJPG reveal-portrait.jpgJPG gift-flatlay.pngPNG guest-highlights.jpgJPG shower-selects.jpgJPG decor-lookbook.webpWEBP family-portrait.jpgJPG party-candids.jpgJPG guestbook-page.pngPNG shower-selects.jpgJPG decor-lookbook.webpWEBP family-portrait.jpgJPG party-candids.jpgJPG guestbook-page.pngPNG shower-selects.jpgJPG decor-lookbook.webpWEBP family-portrait.jpgJPG party-candids.jpgJPG guestbook-page.pngPNG shower-selects.jpgJPG decor-lookbook.webpWEBP family-portrait.jpgJPG party-candids.jpgJPG guestbook-page.pngPNG 2,600+ people sharing files 5,100+ links shared 17,800+ times opened Keep reading [Image to link](https://linkinseconds.com/image-to-link)[Wedding photo sharing](https://linkinseconds.com/wedding)[Share photos with family](https://linkinseconds.com/share-photos-with-family)[Event photo sharing](https://linkinseconds.com/event-photo-sharing)[QR code generator](https://linkinseconds.com/qr-code-generator) Source: https://linkinseconds.com/baby-shower-photos
