The photo was already the moment.
A photo album behind a single card
Put the best photo on a real trading card. Put the rest of the day behind the QR code on the back, so the card on the shelf still opens the whole album.
- The best photo on the front

- Captions on every photo
- Add more any time
- From $29.99
A real printed card, shown with its owner's permission. Its QR code opens the trip: ten more photos and the story.
The short answer
A QR code photo album card is a printed card with one photo on the front and a QR code on the back that opens more photos from the same moment. Every Cardbop card is a Living Card: the QR code printed on the back opens a page that belongs to that card. The owner adds photos with captions after ordering, and can keep adding to it, because the printed code never changes.
What goes in the album
A trip
The summit photo on the front. Behind it: the drive, the cabin, the bad weather day, the group shot nobody got right the first time.
A season
The team photo on the card. Behind it: game days, the bus, the trophy, and a link to the highlight video.
A year
A baby's first year, a pet's first year in the house, a year in a new city. One card, a year of photos.
A day
A wedding, a graduation, a retirement party. The one photo everyone wants, then the album from the whole day.
A shared phone album gets buried in a camera roll. A card stays on the shelf, and the album is one scan away whenever someone picks it up.

What is a QR code photo album card?+

What else can go behind the card besides photos?+
You can add the story behind it, more photos from that day, links (a highlight video, a playlist, a shared album), and a note the person who gets it finds when they scan it.
Can I add photos after the card is printed?+
Yes. The printed code never changes, so you can add, reorder, caption, or remove photos any time and the same card opens the new version.
Who can see the photos?+
Only people with the card or its link can open the page, and the owner can make it private. The printed code never changes, so the page can be updated any time.
