Naming People

Once faces are detected, they appear as "Person 1", "Person 2", etc. You can give them real names to make finding photos easier.

How to Name a Person

  1. Go to the People section
  2. Find the face you want to name
  3. Click on the person's card or the edit button
  4. Enter their name (e.g., "Uncle Keith")
  5. Click Save

Tips for Naming

  • Use names that are meaningful to you and your partner
  • You can use nicknames, relationships ("Mum's brother"), or full names
  • Names can be changed at any time

Searching by Name

Once named, you can search for people:

  • Type a name in the People search box
  • Filter photos by person in the main gallery
  • Create downloads organised by person

Unknown Faces

You don't have to name everyone. Some groups might be:

  • Wedding vendors or staff
  • People you don't recognise
  • False detections (not actually faces)

These can be left unnamed, hidden, or ignored.
