A shared album that works for everyone, with or without a Google account
Google Photos is excellent for backing up your own library. For a group where not everyone uses Google, a shared album built only for groups is simpler.
People join with a free fotos.red account from any phone or computer; nobody has to use a specific ecosystem to add photos.
A circle has members, a feed, comments, hearts and “seen by”. It does not try to manage your whole camera roll.
Every circle and photo is marked private (green lock) or public (orange globe), and going public always asks for confirmation.

Private or public: you always know who sees your photos
Every circle, every photo and every post button carries the same label. Green with a lock is private. Orange with a globe is public. Nothing becomes public unless you confirm it.
Private circle
Members only- Only the people you invite see the photos
- Never shown on your profile, in Explore or on Google

- The default when you create a circle

- Always marked in orange, including when you post
- We ask you to confirm before anything goes public
Questions
Does fotos.red back up my camera roll automatically?
No. It is not a backup service. You choose which photos to upload and who sees them. For automatic backup of everything, a cloud photo library is the right tool.
How much space do I get?
2 GB per member for free. Videos are counted separately and can be up to 2 GB each.
Who can see my photos?
You decide for every photo. “Only me” keeps them in My photos. In a private circle only its members see them. In a public circle or on your public profile anyone can see them. Private is always marked green with a lock and public orange with a globe, and we ask you to confirm before anything becomes public.
Is it free? Do I need to install an app?
It is free, with 2 GB of space per person, and it works in the browser on phones and computers. There is nothing to install, though you can add it to your home screen like an app.
