Plenty of shops have a paper menu or a board on the wall, and no website. A photo QR code puts those pictures on customers' phones: take the photos, upload them, and print one code that opens them.
What a photo QR code is
A photo QR code points to a photo page that QRnaka hosts for you. You can upload up to 10 photos per code (JPEG, PNG, WebP, GIF or HEIC from an iPhone). Scanning opens the page at once, with no ads and no app to install.
Because the photos live with us rather than inside the code, you can swap them later without reprinting, and you can see how often the code is scanned. The idea is the same as a tracked code; see What is a dynamic QR code?
What people see
Your text at the top, such as the shop name and opening hours, then the photos in the order you set. Tapping a photo opens it full size to zoom or save. At the bottom, a note says the photos were uploaded by whoever made the code, with no ads, next to a "Report these photos" link.
Good uses
- Menus as photos. One photo per page and a code on each table or by the door. A seasonal menu just means new photos.
- Posters and event schedules that people can keep on their phone.
- Product photos for a market stall or fair booth with room for only a few samples.
- Brochures and price lists that change often.
It is not an ordering system
A photo QR code shows pictures, nothing more: no cart, no orders, no payments, no table numbers. If customers should order from their phones, you need an ordering or point-of-sale system built for that. For payment, add a separate PromptPay QR code, which is free with no sign-up; see PromptPay payment signs.
Making one
- Sign in to a member account, or sign up to start the 30-day free trial with a mobile number, an SMS code and a 6-digit PIN.
- Open the photo QR page.
- Choose or drop your photos and put them in order, page one first.
- Add the text shown above the photos.
- Press "Upload and make the QR".
- Copy the manage link somewhere safe. It is how you see statistics and change the photos, so keep it to yourself.
- Style and download the code like any other, and test it with a phone before printing.
For table cards and posters, sizing is covered in QR print size and scan tests.
Photos that read well on a phone
- Shoot straight on in good light, and watch for glare on laminated menus.
- One page per photo, cropped tight, so text and prices come out larger.
- Check on your own phone that prices are readable without much zooming.
- The site resizes photos and strips file details (where and when taken, the camera) on your device before upload. What is in the picture stays visible to everyone, so keep personal documents out of the frame.
Changing the photos
Open the manage link, or the code under My QR. "Photos in this QR" shows what people see now. Choose new photos and press "Use these photos instead": the new set replaces the whole old set at once, and printed codes keep working. To change one page, include the pages you are keeping. "Save the new text" updates the caption.
Under the privacy policy, replaced sets are no longer shown but are kept as history, and you can ask for them to be deleted.
The rules
Upload only photos you own or have permission to publish: nothing adult, illegal, or infringing copyright, privacy or anyone's rights. Anyone who scans or gets the link can see them. There are limits on photos per code, file size and daily uploads, and photos reported from several networks are hidden until the team has checked them. Details are in the terms.
Membership
Photo QR codes are for members: a 30-day free trial from sign-up with no card, one per account, then 49 baht a month or 365 baht a year (pricing). If membership ends, codes you made keep scanning. You get 7 days of grace; after that the account opens only the renewal page, and statistics and photo changes wait until you renew. Nothing is deleted.
FAQ
How many photos can one code hold?
Up to 10, as the photo QR page states.
Do customers need an app?
No. The photo page opens in the phone's browser.
I already have a menu website. Which code should I use?
A plain link QR code, free with no sign-up. Choose a tracked code, for members, if you want to change the destination later or count scans.
