Shared Albums

One shared home. Every phone welcome.

iCloud Family Sharing only works if everyone owns an Apple device. Google Photos sharing is clunky per-album and iOS-hostile. Shared Albums work the same whether your family is on iPhone, Android, or the web — because that's what most families actually look like.

iPhone, Android, and web — all first class

Everyone adds their own shots, one feed holds them all

Your personal photos stay completely private

👨‍👩‍👧‍👦

One album. Every phone. Everyone in it.

Shared Family Albums

Create a shared album and invite Mum, Dad, the kids, Grandma — whoever you like. Each person can upload their own photos and videos from their own phone. Everyone sees everything in one place, in real time. No forwarding. No duplicate WhatsApp threads. No one left out because they're on Android instead of iPhone.

Photos and Videos — Every Format

Whether you're shooting on an iPhone (HEIC, ProRAW), an Android, a DSLR camera (RAW, CR2, ARW), or a video camera (MP4, MOV, MKV) — Preserve Forever accepts it all and keeps the original quality. No compression, no converting, no losing quality just to save storage. What you upload is what you get back.

Photos: JPEG, HEIC, PNG, WebP, RAW, CR2, ARW, DNG and more
Videos: MP4, MOV, MKV, AVI and more
Full original resolution — nothing is compressed
Download your originals any time, exactly as you uploaded them

📅

Your past finds you. You don't have to go looking.

Memories — On This Day

Every morning, Preserve Forever surfaces what happened on this day across every year in your archive. The birthday photo from five years ago. The holiday video you'd half-forgotten. The ordinary Tuesday that turned out to be a great day. You set birthdays and anniversaries once, and we'll make sure nothing slips by.

"On this day" across every year in your archive — shown automatically
Family memories from everyone in your shared album, all in one place
Set birthdays and anniversaries — we remind you a day early
Works even for photos uploaded by other family members

🗄️

Stop deleting things to make room.

The Archive — Free Your Phone

Your phone has limited storage. The Archive moves older photos and videos out of your phone's local storage and into secure long-term storage — so your phone stays fast and free, but nothing is ever gone. Everything in the Archive is still yours. Browse it any time, restore anything in a few hours.

Older photos step into the Archive automatically
Your phone storage frees up — no more "Storage Almost Full"
Browse the Archive any time, restore anything within a few hours
Pin photos you always want fast access to — they stay on hand

📤

Shoot it, deliver it, and you're done.

Ownership Transfer

Photographers: stop using WeTransfer and Google Drive to hand over shoots. Share a full album directly to your client's Preserve Forever account. When you click transfer, the photos move to their account permanently — they leave your storage at the same time. Your client gets full-resolution originals, a proper archive, and the ability to share with family. Clean, professional, and no storage eaten from your plan.

Full-resolution originals land directly in their account
Photos leave your storage the moment they transfer
Your client only needs a free account to receive
They can share, download, and archive their photos straight away

🔒

Your photos aren't a product.

Privacy and Security

Most photo apps pay for themselves by studying what you store — building ad profiles, training AI, selling data. We don't. You pay us directly, and that's the whole deal. Every photo is encrypted in transit and at rest. We run a one-time safety scan at upload to block illegal content, and that's the only time we ever look at your files. Delete your account and every photo, every video, every trace is gone permanently.

Encrypted in transit (TLS) and at rest (AES-256) — always
No AI training on your photos. No ad profiles. No data brokers
Safety scan at upload only — we never study or analyse your content
Delete your account and everything is permanently erased
Export everything with one click — your photos leave with you

📱

iPhone, Android, or web — same experience, same features.

Works on Every Device

iCloud works best if everyone has an iPhone. Google Photos works best if everyone has Android. Most families don't have one or the other — they have both. Preserve Forever is built to work identically on every platform. No features hidden behind a particular phone. No one in your family left with a worse experience because of what's in their pocket.

iPhone app with native iOS features (Shortcuts, Widgets)

Web app — works on any browser, on any device
Upload from a computer, tablet, or old phone without the app
