Use direct uploads for
- Full-resolution photographs
- Original video files
- Guests who do not use the same photo service
- A moderated event media wall
Use an album link for
- Collections larger than 2 GB
- Live albums already shared with family
- Professional photographer galleries
Know the limits
A direct photo can be up to 25 MB and a video up to 250 MB. An event can hold 100 files or 2 GB for free, whichever comes first: photos, videos, and guests’ voice and audio messages. PartyWelcome stores the original file bytes and makes the original available for download.
Know when files are removed
Guest uploads and stored album links are removed 30 days after the scheduled event end. A one-time storage extension postpones that cleanup for the whole event; it does not change who can upload, review, or view the files.
Ask before publishing
Make the host’s approval setting clear and avoid publishing photos or videos of children or private moments without the people involved agreeing.
