How to use QR codes at a graduation ceremony
A guide to class-based QR codes, ceremony posters, and student groups for building a graduation photo-video archive.
During graduation ceremonies, hundreds of phones capture photos and videos. QR codes turn those files into an organized class or ceremony archive.
1. Decide between one ceremony gallery or class galleries
For small ceremonies, one main gallery can be enough. For larger schools, separate events for each class keep the archive cleaner.
Separate QR codes for classes such as 12-A or 12-C make post-event sharing easier.
2. Make the QR visible at the ceremony
If the QR only appears in a class chat, some parents or teachers may miss it. Posters, stage screens, and entrance areas increase participation.
Use short and motivational copy that fits students.

3. Separate the archive after the ceremony
After uploads arrive, review class galleries and remove inappropriate or duplicate content.
Once the archive is ready, the school, class representatives, or families can receive an organized file set.
