Photos, part of Memory

Your family’s photos, together.

One private place for the beach day, the birthday cake and the first tomatoes from the garden. Everyone in the home can add to it, react to it and find it again.

See it with the sample household

Albums the whole house adds to.

Pick a photo to see its caption, who is in it and how the household reacted. On this day brings back the same day in past years.

Drawn illustrations of a made-up household, from the same sample data as the app's demo. No real photos and no real people.

Turn on JavaScript to browse the sample albums.

  • Private, with never a public link
  • Resized to save space, unless the owner turns on Keep original photos
  • Location removed from the resized copies
  • Album links for family outside the home that expire and can be turned off
  • Short videos on Household and Household+
  • For sharing moments, not a full photo backup

About location: the resized copies Kinnomy makes have location data removed. Originals kept with Keep original photos, videos, and HEIC photos the server cannot convert are stored exactly as uploaded, including any location the phone saved.

What you can do

Made for sharing, not for storing.

Upload from anywhere

From a phone or a computer, several at once. The date each photo was taken puts it in the right place.

Albums

One for every trip, birthday or season, with a cover photo and a slideshow.

Tag people

Tag who is in a photo, then see every photo of a person in one place.

Reactions and comments

Love, haha, wow, yay or like, favorites, and comments on any photo.

On this day

Home shows photos from this day in past years. On every plan.

Short videos

Add short clips alongside the photos, on Household and Household+.

Album links

Grandma does not need an account.

Send an album link to the people who are not in your household, like grandparents, cousins and old friends. They open it on any phone or computer and see that album, and nothing else.

  • The link expires after the number of days you pick
  • You choose whether they can download the photos
  • Turn it off at any time. A new link turns the old one off

Album links are on Household and Household+.

Private by design

Kept private, and kept light.

Photos are stored privately, like documents. There is never a public link to a photo, and every one checks that you are allowed to see it. An album link is the only way to share outside the household, and only when you make one.

  • Resized to save space
  • Location removed from the resized copies
  • Household, Adults only or Private, like every item

With Keep original photos turned on, originals are also kept exactly as uploaded, including any location the phone saved. Videos, and HEIC photos the server cannot convert, are always kept exactly as uploaded.

An honest limit

Photos is for sharing family moments, not a full photo backup. Keep your originals somewhere else too. Videos are short clips only. Like the rest of Kinnomy, photos are private but not end-to-end encrypted.

Which plans include it

Photos and albums are on every plan: photos only on Free, and short videos on Household and Household+. Album links are on Household and Household+. Documents and photos share one storage allowance: 500 MB on Free, 5 GB on Household and 25 GB on Household+. Compare plans.

Questions

About photos

Is my photo library private?

Yes. Photos are stored privately and only people in your household with access can see them. There is never a public link. The only way to share outside the household is an album link that you make, which expires and can be turned off.

Can grandparents see an album without an account?

Yes, on Household and Household+. Send an album link. It shows only that album, expires after the number of days you pick, and you can turn it off at any time.

Does it replace my phone’s photo backup?

No. Photos is for sharing family moments with the people you live with. It is not a full backup, and photos are resized to save space unless the owner turns on Keep original photos. Keep your originals somewhere else too.

What happens to the location in my photos?

The resized copies Kinnomy makes have location data removed. If the owner turns on Keep original photos, the original is kept exactly as uploaded, including any location your phone saved. Videos, and HEIC photos the server cannot convert, are always kept exactly as uploaded. If that matters to you, turn off location in your phone’s camera settings.

Can the kids delete my photos?

No. Anyone with access can add and edit their own photos. Changing or deleting someone else’s photo or album needs an owner or an adult.
