From first photo to forever Album

Start your album

Creating an album is free. You don't pay until you're ready to share it — so there's no rush and no pressure.

1. Sign up with your email or phone — or continue with Apple or Google.
2. From your Shelf, tap New Album.
3. Give it a name — something simple like "Mom's 70th" or "Eleanor's First Year."
4. Choose who it's for — a birthday, a graduation, a memorial, or just "because."

Add your photos, videos, audio, and stories

An album is made of pages. Each page can hold any mix of memories. Add a little, add a lot — whatever feels right.

• Photos

  Upload from your phone, computer, or straight from Google Drive, Dropbox, OneDrive, or Box. Drop in one at a time or several at once.

• Videos

  Short clips or long ones — birthday messages, grandkids' recitals, wedding toasts. We make sure they play beautifully on every device.

• Audio

  Record a voice note right from your browser, or upload a song, a voicemail, or an old recording. Voices you love, preserved.

• Stories & notes

  Write a paragraph about the day a photo was taken, or a full story about someone who mattered. Our writing tool is as simple as a notepad.

• Page layouts

  Pick from a variety of curated layouts to match your album's mood. We keep every page looking polished.

• Reactions & comments

  Once you invite people, they can leave a heart or a short comment on any page — like signing a guestbook, one memory at a time.

Organize the pages how you like

The order is yours. Whether you want chapters by year, by person, or by chapter headings like "the early days" and "the wedding" — arrange it your way.

1. Drag to reorder. Hold a page and move it anywhere in the album.
2. Group with sections. Add a section header like "Childhood" or "The Paris Trip" to break the album into chapters.
3. Rename anytime. Pages can have their own titles, or no title at all — your call.
4. Hide pages temporarily. Still working on one? Mark it as a draft and finish it later. Visitors won't see it until you're ready.

Pick a theme that fits the mood

Your theme sets the feeling — the colors, the fonts, the way pages breathe. Every theme we offer was designed with care, so no matter which one you pick, your album will look beautiful.

• Classic

  Warm, timeless, and quietly elegant — good for almost anything.

• Celebration

  Brighter colors and playful accents — perfect for birthdays and weddings.

• Remembrance

  Soft, soothing palette designed for memorials and tribute albums.

• Modern

  Clean lines, lots of space — lets the photos do the talking.

Invite co-editors to help make it perfect

You don't have to build it alone. Invite a sibling, your partner, your closest friend — anyone you trust — to help add pages, write stories, and collect photos from the rest of the family.

1. Send an invite. Add a co-editor by email or phone number. They'll get a friendly message with a link to join.
2. They add their own memories. Co-editors can upload photos, videos, audio, and stories just like you.
3. You stay in charge. As the owner, you approve what goes live, and you can remove a co-editor at any time.
4. See who added what. Each contribution shows who made it — so grandma's stories always carry her name.

Publish it — a $30 keepsake, yours forever

When your album feels right, it's time to bring it to life. Publishing turns your draft into a real, shareable keepsake that belongs to you — forever.

1. Pay once. $30 is all you pay for the Album. No subscription. No yearly fee. No surprises.
2. Get your private link. Every Album has its own address (like sharelocket.com/@moms-70th). Send it by text, email, or printed invitation.
3. Download a QR code. Print it on invitations, funeral programs, or name cards — guests scan to visit instantly.
4. Edit it whenever you like. Your album is yours forever, with unlimited editing — keep adding photos, stories, and updates today, next month, or years from now.
