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](https://app.gumnut.ai), 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](/guides/product/search-and-filtering) 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](/guides/product/ai-assistants) to curate an album, or manage albums through the [API](/guides/apis/overview).
