Badge Scanner

Scan a badge. Start shooting.
They get their photos.

Every conference guest already has a badge with their info on it. Scan it, and BrandStudio handles registration, face matching, and photo delivery — so you can get straight to shooting.

One scan connects everything

A single badge scan registers the guest, starts their session, enrolls face recognition, and creates their personal gallery. Five steps become one.

  • Guest record and session created together
  • Face recognition starts matching immediately
  • Personal gallery ready before the shoot ends

Common questions

Which badge formats does the scanner read?

QR codes and most 1D barcodes (Code 128, Code 39, EAN, UPC). If your badges encode an attendee ID that matches a row in your uploaded guest list, the scan pulls in name, email, company, and any custom fields you configured. If the badge carries vCard-style data inline, we parse that directly.

What happens if a badge does not scan or the guest lost theirs?

Tap the manual-entry fallback — photographers can look up a guest by name or email from the same screen, or type in new details. The scan is a speed optimization; missing a badge never blocks capture. Every guest still gets tagged and receives their photos.

Does badge scanning work with our existing conference registration platform?

If you can export a CSV of attendees with IDs that match what is printed on badges, yes. Upload the list to the event before doors open. Common platforms like Cvent, Bizzabo, and Swoogo export this shape by default. We do not yet connect directly to those platforms.

Can I use badge scanner on an iPad instead of iPhone?

Yes. Badge Scanner runs on any iOS device with a rear camera. iPhones are more common in the field because they are faster to hand off between photographers, but iPads work for booth setups where the scanner lives at a check-in desk. Same experience, same data flow.
