QR Code Workflow for School Photography

Automate photo assignment. Shoot the card, shoot the child, upload. No scanner hardware and no labels from the lab.

The Nightmare of Manual Image Sorting

Manually sorting hundreds of student photos into folders after the photo day wastes time and nerves:

Hours of comparing pupil lists with the portraits you shot.

Ordering labels from the lab, waiting for them and handing them out correctly on the day.

Lost or swapped slips lead to wrong assignments and complaints.

High cost for barcode scanners or radio transmitters on the camera.

Modern, Digital Photo Matching

With Pixalo your camera and a normal printer are enough. The card in the frame assigns every photo automatically on upload.

Pixalo Mobile App

Available for iOS and Android. Maintain child lists, show cards on the display and watch the live status of the job.

The card separates the sections

Everything between two cards belongs to the child on the first card. The group card comes before the group photo.

Instant QR Cards

Generate password cards automatically. Parents scan to access their private, secure gallery.

How the photo day runs with Pixalo

No paperwork from the lab, no expensive extra devices. Print, shoot, upload.

01

Print the cards

Print the job’s cards in the dashboard, one per child plus the group card. Normal paper is fine.

02

Shoot the card, then the child

One shot of the card, then carry on as usual. For the next child, the next card.

03

Upload & Auto-Sort

Upload everything in one go. Pixalo recognises the cards, builds the sections and shows open cases in the control view.
