How do I make a shared photo album with friends?

Create an album, share its link, and ask each friend to upload from their phone. All photos appear in one gallery.

Do my friends need an account?

No. Friends can open the link in a browser to upload and search.

Can I find photos of myself in a big shared album?

Yes. Take a selfie and the album shows the photos where your face appears.

What if there is no signal on the trail?

Take photos as normal and upload later when you are back on wifi or mobile data. Nothing needs to happen in the moment.

You can start for free. Plan limits for larger albums are on the pricing page.

Friend trips & hikes

A shared photo album after a hike or trip with friends

After a weekend away, the best photos are scattered across five phones. A joint gallery collects them in one place so nobody has to chase anyone for pictures.

How do you create a joint photo gallery with friends?

Make one album, send the link to everyone on the trip, and have each person upload from their phone. Photos from every camera end up in the same gallery. Face search then lets each person pull up just the photos they are in.

From trailhead to shared gallery

1
Create the album
Name it after the trip. It takes under a minute, and no one else needs an account to join.
2
Send the link to the group
Drop it in your group chat. Each friend opens it on their phone and uploads the photos they want to share.
3
Upload when you have signal
Trails often have no reception. Take photos normally and upload from the car or the hotel afterwards.
4
Find your own photos
Take a selfie to see the photos you appear in, since you are usually the one behind the camera.

Shared album vs the usual options

Friends tend to default to a chat group or a cloud folder.

	Downside	Shared album
Group chat	Photos are compressed and hard to find later	Original quality, one searchable place
Cloud folder	Hundreds of unlabeled files	Face search finds photos of you
Sharing one by one	Slow, and people forget	Everyone uploads once
Photo-printing apps	Cost and delay	Free to start, instant

Make it work for your group

Whoever creates it sends the link on day one so uploads begin early.

Upload the best, not everything

Ask friends to skip blurry duplicates. The album stays enjoyable to scroll.

Tag the highlights

Favorite the standout shots so the group can find them quickly.

Download before you delete

Save your own set to your phone once you have found it.
