  • Download your favourite photos — straight from the large view.

Frequently asked questions

Can I download media from an album?▾
Yes. One at a time: open an item and use "Download" — on the web and in the app. All at once: on the web there is "Download all" at the top of the album — you get a ZIP file with all photos and videos. It is packed directly in your browser and saved on your device, even with several gigabytes. In Chrome and Edge you choose where to save it. Safari and Firefox can only save smaller albums in one go; for very large albums use Chrome or Edge there, or download one by one.
Can I see who uploaded an item?▾
Yes. On the web, the large view shows "Uploaded by …" with date and time. At the top of the album you see who created the album.
Can I like or comment on media?▾
No. If you would like that, submit a feature request.
