Common questions
What file types can I upload?+−
JPEG, PNG and WebP images. Large photos are resized automatically so the album stays fast.
Can I scan old photos with my phone?+−
Yes. Take a photo of the print with your phone camera and upload it straight from your camera roll.
Can I bring photos from another genealogy program?+−
Yes. Export a GEDZIP (.gdz) from your program, or zip the .ged together with its media folder, and upload it with Import above the tree or in the GEDCOM viewer. Each photo lands in the right person's gallery, and their main photo becomes their profile picture if they do not have one yet. See the guide on importing a GEDCOM file.
