Albums let you organize a trip, event, project, or curated selection within a library. A photo or video can belong to more than one album without creating another copy of its file.

​
Build an album

You need the Owner or Collaborator role to organize albums. In the web app, open Albums and choose Create album. Add a name and, optionally, a description. You can add photos from your library or upload into the album. Open a photo from an album and use its overflow menu to Set as album cover. You can also use search and filters to narrow the photos you browse within an album. Removing a photo from an album leaves it in the library. Deleting an album removes the collection, not the photos inside it.

​
Albums in shared libraries

Albums belong to their library. Everyone with access to a shared library can see its albums; an album does not have a separate invitation or membership boundary. Use a separate library when a collection needs a different audience. You can also ask an AI assistant to curate an album, or manage albums through the API.
