Storage is counted in bytes, not photos: the size of the original files in your albums, added up across everything you host. Guests are never counted; events are a per-plan slot count, in the table below.
What counts
- Every original file in every one of your events: guest uploads and your own, photos and videos, at their uploaded size.
- Hidden photos and photos waiting in Review, since they're stored.
What doesn't
- The small preview Partyreel makes for each tile.
- The reel's video file.
- Anything in Deleted. Removing a photo or deleting an event frees its space as soon as you do it, even though the file waits 30 days for a possible restore.
The plans
A rough feel: at typical phone-photo sizes, 2 GB is a few hundred photos, and a paid plan's storage is thousands, with room for video. The storage meter on your dashboard translates your plan into "about N photos or M minutes of video". See Pro vs. Event Pass.
Per-file limits
Separately from the total, any single file can be up to 10 GB on every plan, and a host can set a lower per-file cap for guests. See turn off uploads, or cap the size of guest uploads.
Watching it

- storage meter
The bar above your dashboard feed turns amber past 85 percent. Tap it for the exact numbers and what's sitting in Deleted. What happens when it fills is its own guide: what happens when storage fills up.
Is there a guest limit?
No. A hundred guests or a thousand, it's the same album; only what they upload counts, and a wedding's worth of phone photos fits in an Event Pass with plenty to spare.
