Concert Photo Sharing: Never Lose Those Epic Moments Again
You just saw an incredible show. Your favorite band. Perfect setlist. Amazing energy. You and your crew took hundreds of photos and videos.
Two weeks later: You have 20 photos from 5 different people, and you're still asking "Did anyone get that encore?"
Here's how concert-goers are solving this problem.
The Concert Photo Problem
What Usually Happens
During the concert:
- Everyone's filming on their phones
- Different angles of the same moments
- Crowd shots, stage shots, selfies
- Videos of your favorite songs
After the concert:
- Create group chat to share
- "Send me those videos!"
- Half the crew never sends anything
- Photos scattered across platforms
- That perfect moment? Lost forever
Why Concert Photos Get Lost
Group Chat Chaos:
- Photos get compressed
- Videos too large to send
- Messages buried under hundreds of texts
- People leave the chat
Social Media Issues:
- Not everyone posts
- Can't download full quality
- Tagged photos are random
- Privacy settings block access
The "I'll Send It Later" Problem:
- People forget which photos they took
- Too lazy to select and send 50+ photos
- Don't want to spam the group
- Life gets busy
The Solution: QR Code Photo Sharing

- Create a QR code for your concert crew
- Share it with your group
During the show:

After the show:
