Shared albums, explained

Invite the family, drop in photos from a trip, and keep it all private. A tour of how shared albums work end to end.

A shared album is the easiest way to collect a trip or an event without a group chat full of compressed images.

How it works

  • Create the album and invite by link or address
  • Everyone can add photos at full quality
  • Access is revocable; remove someone and the keys rotate

The best shared album feels like a shoebox of prints — except everyone can add to it from their pocket.
