How to name the people in your events
Link faces to people so they're tagged across every event.
You need to be signed in to do this.
-
Open Link faces (from an event's Tag faces page, or right after extracting faces).
-
On the left, pick an Event to see its faces, or a Person to see where they appear. Use the search boxes to filter.
-
Click the faces that belong to the same person. Shift+click selects a range; Select all unlinked picks every face not yet named.
Tip: Shortcuts: A selects all unlinked, Esc clears, Ctrl+Enter links.
-
In the bar at the bottom, choose Who is this? from the list, or + New person and type a name (leave it blank if you don't know).
-
Click Link selected. Linked faces fade out. Click the × on a face to unlink it.
Tip: To rename someone later, pick them under People, change the name, and click Save name. Every linked face updates.
-
Let the site help: once you've named a few people, open an event and click Suggest names under Suggest who's who. Faces that look like someone you've already linked get an Is this …? question. Click Yes to link it, or No to skip it.
Tip: It only asks when it's fairly sure, and it gets better the more faces you link. It runs in your browser; your pictures aren't sent anywhere.
