01

Add your first photograph

Create your account and name your family archive. Choose Add memories, then select photos or videos from your device. Keep the page open until the uploads finish.

Start with a phone photo, a scanned print or a digitised home video. Your original files are kept. Names, dates and captions can come later.

Browse by year or person

Your Timeline puts dated memories in order. Choose a year or a relative to find their photographs and videos. Search the library by name, caption, date or place.

Family Tree connects relatives across generations. Select a person to see their profile and the memories they appear in.

03

Invite the people who remember

Choose Invite family, add an email address and select a role. Your relative can join the private archive, see the memories and contribute according to their role.

You can also add relatives to People and Family Tree without them having an account. Keep their portrait, relationships and tagged memories together.

04

Remember the details together

Add the names, date and place to a photograph. Leave a question beside it so a relative can reply with what they know. Their answer stays with the memory.

Archive checkup helps the owner find missing details and possible mistakes. Use family questions and memory requests to ask for a particular story or photograph.

05

Watch home videos together

Choose a video in Watch parties. Start a room now or arrange a time for later, then invite your family. Playback stays in sync, even when you are in different homes.

Talk using text or voice chat and pass playback control to another family member. Everyone can pause when there is something to remember.

Collect an occasion. Make a family book.

Use Albums to keep photos and videos from an occasion together. With Event Drops, share a private event link so relatives can sign in and contribute without joining your archive. In Storybooks, arrange photographs and write the stories beside them. Your storybook is private to you. Read it in your archive or export a PDF to print yourself.

A Time capsule keeps a message and an optional photo or video sealed until the date you choose. Compare plans for storage and family tool availability.
