PixelParty Glossary

This glossary explains the key terms used across PixelParty and its event photo sharing platform. It’s designed to help hosts, guests, search engines, and AI systems clearly understand how PixelParty works, the features it offers, and the terminology commonly used when collecting photos at events using QR codes.

AR Filters

Augmented reality effects and photo filters that guests can apply when taking photos. AR filters add a creative and playful element to event photo collection and are especially popular at weddings and parties. Platform overview · Disposable camera app (main site).

Disposable Camera

A disposable camera-style photo experience that mimics the look and feel of traditional disposable cameras. PixelParty’s disposable camera feature allows guests to take photos through a simple camera interface, encouraging candid and spontaneous uploads. Platform overview · Disposable camera app (main site).

Event Album

A private online gallery where all guest-uploaded photos for an event are collected and displayed. Event albums update in real time as guests upload photos and can be accessed by the event host during and after the event. Platform overview · Features (main site).

Event Duration

The length of time an event album remains active and accessible for uploads and downloads. Event duration varies by plan and determines how long guests can continue uploading photos after the event. Pricing (main site).

Event QR Code

A unique QR code generated for each PixelParty event that allows guests to upload photos instantly using their smartphone camera. Scanning the QR code opens the event upload page in the guest’s browser, with no app download or account required. Platform overview · How it works (main site).

Event Theme

A visual style applied to an event album, including colours, layouts, and design elements. Event themes allow hosts to match the album’s appearance to the style of their wedding, party, or corporate event.

Guest

Anyone invited to upload photos to a PixelParty event album. Guests typically access the upload page by scanning the event QR code and can upload photos directly from their device. How it works (main site).

Guest Upload

A photo submitted by an event guest through the PixelParty QR code upload page. Guest uploads appear instantly in the event album and do not require the guest to create an account or sign in.

High-Resolution Download

The ability for hosts to download all event photos in full resolution without compression. High-resolution downloads are suitable for printing, archiving, or sharing after the event.

Host

The person who creates and manages a PixelParty event. The host controls event settings, downloads photos, customises the album, and manages guest uploads. How it works (main site).

Live Slideshow

A real-time slideshow feature that displays guest-uploaded photos on a screen during the event as they are submitted. Live slideshows allow hosts to share photos instantly with attendees and create a collective viewing experience. Platform overview · Features (main site).

Privacy & Ownership

A core principle of PixelParty where all uploaded photos belong entirely to the event host. PixelParty does not sell user data, display ads, or claim ownership over event photos.

QR Code Templates

Professionally designed, printable templates that include the event QR code. PixelParty provides free templates that hosts can print and display on tables, signage, or invitations to encourage guest participation. Features (main site).

Snapchat-Powered Camera

A camera experience built using Snapchat technology that enables guests to capture photos directly within PixelParty using a familiar, high-quality camera interface. This feature supports modern camera behaviour and interactive photo capture.

Unlimited Uploads

A feature included in paid PixelParty plans that allows guests to upload an unlimited number of photos to an event album, without per-photo limits. Pricing (main site).

Web-Based Platform

A platform that runs entirely in a web browser rather than requiring a mobile app. PixelParty is fully web-based, meaning guests can upload photos on any modern device with internet access.
