You want to share with everyone — but have no one's contact
After a live event, a group of fans who just met take a photo together. "I'll send it to you later" — except nobody has anyone else's contact details. The photo ends up posted on someone's SNS account, and everyone else has to track it down themselves.
Posting to SNS is broadcasting, not sharing
Most sharing methods assume you're sending to someone you already know. Posting on SNS isn't really "sharing" — it's publishing, and hoping people find it. Posts can get buried in timelines, accounts may be private, or not everyone follows the same account. The result is that only some people actually see it.
Sending one by one never reaches everyone
SMS and email require contact details — which rules them out for strangers. QR codes work one scan at a time, which gets slow in a group. AirDrop and Nearby Share need proximity and the right device settings, and not everyone's set up for it.
| Method | Opens instantly | What you need | Works for large groups |
|---|---|---|---|
| QR Code | △ | Camera | △ |
| SMS | △ | Phone number | |
| △ | Email address | ||
| AirDrop etc. | Proximity + settings | ||
| 6-Digit Code (PASHIRU) | Nothing |
LINE groups are another option, but they require everyone to be connected beforehand — or setting up a new group on the spot, which is a hassle in itself. Some people are also uncomfortable connecting just to receive a photo, especially with people they've just met.
One code reaches everyone
In these situations, sharing a single short code works best. PASHIRU is built exactly for this — paste a URL or file link and it generates a 6-digit code. Tell it to the group once, and everyone follows the same steps to receive it. No queuing, no contact exchange, works on any device.
- Upload the photo and copy its URL, then paste it into PASHIRU to generate a code
- Tell the group the 6-digit code — say it out loud or show it on screen
- Everyone enters the code and receives the photo instantly
Summary
When you want to share something with a group of people you don't know, traditional methods tend to leave someone out. The most reliable approach is one that doesn't depend on contact details, device compatibility, or how fast people can scan. One code, everyone gets it.
