Guests scan a QR code or open a link, choose photos in their browser and send them to the organizer. The organizer reviews each photo, approves it and selects Queue for printing. Complete approved sets then fill your layout and enter the PrintStation queue.
Guests need no PhotoBaker account, app installation or social media post. Uploading does not start printing.
Create an event, set its collection period, enable guest uploads and save your layout. Get the link and QR code in your dashboard and share them with guests.
Guests open a page with the event name and submit photos. Every upload starts as pending. The organizer manually approves suitable photos in the dashboard gallery, then selects Queue for printing for every photo in the set.
Once all photos in a set are approved and selected for printing, they fill the layout and enter the PrintStation queue. An operator selects the printer and paper, checks a test print and prints manually or separately enables automatic printing.
For a layout with 2–4 frames, the guest selects exactly that many photos in one set. A three-photo set fits a three-frame layout. Photos from different guests are never mixed. Every photo in the set must be approved and added using Queue for printing.
Crop to fill fills the frame by cropping photo edges. Fit entire photo preserves the whole image but may leave empty space. For Below frame placement, use PNG with transparent openings: opaque areas will hide the photo.
Example rendered image. Check physical output separately on your printer.
Check the whole workflow with a test photo before guests arrive.
No. Every guest photo first waits for manual review. Automatic approval for other sources does not bypass this rule. Only approved photos can enter the queue.
Yes. HEIC/HEIF, JPEG, PNG and WebP are accepted, up to 10 MB per file. Internet access is required to upload.
Check that the event is active, within its collection period and has guest uploads enabled. If the link was replaced or disabled, share the current link from the dashboard.
An N-frame layout requires a complete set of N photos from one guest. An incomplete set cannot form a finished print. If the layout changes, refresh the upload page and select the photos again.
Both are available in the event dashboard. The QR code opens the same upload page as the link. Display it near the photo station or send the link to guests.
Approval allows a photo into the queue; it does not confirm physical printing. Check that the full set is approved and added using Queue for printing, PrintStation is connected, the printer and paper are ready and automatic printing is enabled if needed.
Free with a watermark. Monthly access without it: RUB 1,990 per month. Renew manually or opt in to monthly automatic renewal when paying. Disable renewal in the dashboard. Equipment and consumables are supplied separately.
