Deliver photos at the event,
not weeks later.
Beam is a photo delivery platform for event photographers. You shoot, hand out a card with a QR code, and your customers see their photos on their phone — no app, no account, no friction.
How it works
Print QR cards
Generate a batch of unique album codes in Beam. Print them as cards — business card sized, with your branding. Hand them to the people you photograph.
Scan to activate
Use the built-in scanner to activate each card as you hand it out. Cards are assigned to collections (like “Dallas Pride 2026”) so you stay organized.
Upload photos
Drag and drop photos into each album. Beam generates thumbnails, applies your watermark automatically, and notifies anyone who signed up for alerts.
Get paid
Set a price per album or make it free with optional tipping. Payments go through Stripe directly to your account. Customers unlock full-resolution downloads instantly.
