Studio overview
The KeySnapshots photographer studio helps photographers upload photo moments and share them with customers through physical cards, QR codes, or digital codes.
Create a studio account
Start by creating or signing in to your KeySnapshots studio account. Your studio account is where you manage uploads, codes, galleries, pricing, and customer access.
Choose a physical card or digital code
KeySnapshots supports two main sharing methods:
Physical card
Use a printed card with a QR code or access code. Give the card to a customer at an event, booth, venue, or photo session.
Digital code
Generate a code or share link from the studio. Send it to the customer by message, email, or another communication method.
Upload a moment
A moment is a photo set connected to one code, event, or customer experience. To create a moment, upload the photos you want the customer to access. After upload, review the gallery and confirm that the correct photos are connected to the correct code.

Set a price
Choose the price customers should pay to unlock the gallery. Some workflows may also allow a customer to choose a custom amount if that option is enabled.
Share the code or link
After the moment is ready, share the QR code, access code, or link with the customer. Customers can open the gallery, preview photos, purchase or unlock access, and download their photos.
Payments and payouts
KeySnapshots uses Stripe Checkout for customer purchases. Photographer payouts may require Stripe Connect setup before funds can be transferred. Make sure your payout setup is complete before relying on the studio for paid galleries.
