What is the best way to share family reunion photos?
Use one shared album with a link relatives can open on any phone, with no app or account to set up. Everyone uploads their photos, and each person can search with a selfie to find the ones they are in, which helps when the album has hundreds of faces.
Share the reunion photos in four steps
- 1
Create one album for the reunion
Name it with the family name and year, and share the link in the family group chat or email.
- 2
Let every branch add their photos
Cousins, aunts and grandparents upload from their own phones, so you do not have to collect files from each person.
- 3
Make it easy for older relatives
The link opens in the phone browser. Print the QR code or send the link directly so no one has to install anything.

Find and save your own photos
Take a selfie to see the photos you appear in, then download them or order prints.
Ways to share reunion photos, compared
Large families mix phone types and comfort with technology, so the simplest method usually wins.
| Where it falls short | Fit for a reunion | |
|---|---|---|
| Family group chat | Compressed photos, lost in conversation | Fine for a few photos |
| Email attachments | Size limits, tedious for many photos | Poor |
| Cloud folder | Needs an account for some, hard to find people | Okay for one organizer |
| Shared album with selfie search (Pixeva) | Needs setup before the reunion | Strong for large mixed groups |
Tips for a better reunion album
Name one person as organizer
Someone creates the album and sends the link so photos are not split across several.
Get the big group photo early
Upload it first so everyone sees the album is live and starts adding.
Include older family photos
Scan old prints and add them to the same album for a shared family archive.
Keep it for next time
Reuse the same family album year after year so the history stays together.
