A shared album for groups where not everyone has an iPhone
iCloud Shared Albums are convenient between Apple devices. As soon as one friend has an Android phone, they can usually only look, not add their own. A circle treats every phone the same.
Everyone joins with a link or QR code and can add, comment and download in the browser.
Membership is by fotos.red account, and a private circle is visible only to its members.
Animated GIFs play, and videos up to 2 GB stream to the whole group.

Private or public: you always know who sees your photos

Questions
Can iPhone users still use their shared albums?
Of course. Many people keep iCloud albums for their Apple-only family and use a circle for mixed groups such as friends, classes and teams.
Is it also available on a computer?
Yes. The same circle opens on Windows, Mac and Linux in any browser, which is handy for uploading from a camera.
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.
