Keepr An album is a set of photos and videos. Everything you add to Keepr goes into one, so albums are the only organising idea you actually have to engage with.
Where an album lives#
The important decision, and the one worth getting right at the start:
In your personal space — uses your own storage, visible only to you until you share it.
In a Family Hub — uses the hub's shared storage, visible to everyone in the hub. Unless you mark it private to you, in which case it uses the shared storage but stays yours alone.
You can move an album between the two afterwards, so this isn't permanent — see Moving an album into a hub.
New albums are private#
A personal album is visible to nobody but you until you do something about it. Nothing is shared by default.
There are then three ways to widen that:
- Share it with a circle, so that group can see it. See Sharing an album with a circle.
- Invite someone by name, as a contributor who can add photos or a viewer who can only look. See Who can do what in an album.
- Turn on a share link, for people without an account. See Share with someone without an account.
Organising them#
Albums can be reordered, so the ones you open often sit at the top, and each has a cover photo you can choose.
Dates come from the photos themselves rather than when you uploaded them, so adding a decade of old pictures puts them in the right years instead of dumping them on today.
What an album can hold#
No limit on the number of photos or videos in one. The only ceiling is your storage.
Practically, albums work better as events than as containers — "Italy 2026" rather than "Holidays" — because search, memories and sharing all work at album level, and a smaller album is a more useful unit to share.
Deleting one#
Removes the album and its photos, permanently, for everyone who could see it. If it's a shared or hub album containing other people's photos, that takes theirs out too.
