Got Questions?

Frequently Asked Questions

Overview

Why use PartyPal?

PartyPal is a private, real-time photo wall and collaborative event album. It connects phones, tablets, and smart TVs in the room so everyone can share candid memories live during weddings, birthdays, corporate gatherings, and parties.

Guests & Joining

Do my guests need to download an app or register?

No app is required for your guests! Anyone can scan the party QR code or click your link to upload photos, videos, and shoutouts straight from Safari, Chrome, or any mobile browser. For power users and hosts, native iOS and Android apps are also available.

TV & Hardware

How do I display the party on a TV or projector?

You can launch PartyPal on any smart TV or projector in seconds. Use our native Amazon Fire TV app, cast via Apple AirPlay or Google Chromecast from your phone or laptop, or simply open https://partypal.tv on any smart TV web browser (like Fire TV Silk).

Safety & Moderation

Can I prevent inappropriate photos from showing on the TV?

Yes! PartyPal includes a built-in AI inappropriate content filter that automatically screens uploads. You can also turn on "Approval Required" mode in party settings so that every upload waits in your host review queue before appearing on the TV screen.

Media & Export

Are photos compressed or can I download original full-resolution files?

PartyPal respects your media. Unlike social media platforms that heavily compress your images, PartyPal preserves original resolution photos and video clips. You can download selected batches in a ZIP file on the web (up to 100 MB at a time) or download the entire album directly to your device with the PartyPal mobile app.

Privacy & Security

Can strangers find or see my party?

PartyPal offers both public and private options. By default, parties are unlisted and only accessible to guests who have the invite link, QR code, or secret passcode. You can also lock the gallery at any time so no new posts can be submitted.

Customization

Can I personalize my party code and visual theme?

Absolutely. You can customize your party code to something memorable like #SARAH30 or #SMITHWEDDING, or use our ultra-secure auto-generated 40-character invite token. You can also pick from 22 curated visual themes or specify your own hex color.

Overview

Do I have to have a TV to use PartyPal?

No, you can use PartyPal purely on phones, tablets, and computers as a shared photo album. The TV mode is an exciting bonus that brings events to life, but the web and mobile experience works anywhere on its own.
