Three guides that answer most first questions.
How Partyreel works
You create an event and get a QR code. Guests scan it and add photos and videos from their phone browser, no app or account. It all lands in one live album you curate, share, and cut into a reel.Read the guide02Create your first event
Sign in, add your name, and the wizard walks three steps: Details, Design, Share. Only the name is required; the link and QR code are ready when it is created.Read the guide03
