Partyreel asks for one thing when you create an account: the name people will see. It's the byline under an event you host ("Hosted by"), and the caption on every photo you add to someone else's event. Your email never shows anywhere public.
Where your name shows
- On your events, as the host byline at the top of the event page, next to your photo if you've added one.
- On your uploads, in the caption when a guest opens one of your photos in the album, and on the guest list if the host turns it on.
- On your profile page, if you claim a handle. See your public profile.
Photos you add without signing in carry no name at all; they show as Anonymous.

The first time you sign in, Partyreel asks for your name before you can create an event or add photos (the Add your name step). After that, the Display name field on your account page changes it: type the new name and tap Save. The change applies everywhere at once, including on photos you added earlier.
A few rules: it has to be at least one character and at most 60, and a handful of reserved words (names that would look like Partyreel staff) aren't available. Real names are always fine.
If you signed in with Google
Partyreel suggests the name from your Google account, but it never publishes it without you confirming it first. Edit it before you save if you'd rather go by something else.
Add a photo
In the same Profile card, tap Upload photo (or Change photo once you have one), pick an image, and adjust the crop. JPG, PNG, or WebP. Tap Remove to go back to the plain initial.
The photo appears in the host byline of your events and next to your name on guest lists and profiles. It's a square crop, so pick something that works small.
Your email stays private
Guests never see your email address. When you add photos to someone else's event while signed in, only that event's host can see the email behind your upload, in their own dashboard, so they know who sent what. Nobody else can. The details are in what guests can and can't see.
The address itself can't be edited from the account page yet. If you need to move your account to a new email, send us a note from the current one.
