How to organize family photos

by Dima January 1, 2024

Learn how to organize old photos and get rid of clutter. Hundreds, maybe thousands, of family photos await to be taken out of boxes and old HDDs and organized efficiently and stylishly.

Old photos overwhelm us with memories. They follow our families’ paths, capture milestones, and help us grow roots. We love to look at them from time to time, whether we take out photo albums at family parties or scroll through digital folders and files. But not many of us love to organize old family photos. And because we gather lots of them, they soon become cluttered and end up in a box or on a lost hard disk. It makes finding a particular photograph or album impossible, so we avoid the mess and struggle and stop looking at old photos altogether.

So, what can one do with hundreds of family photos to avoid abandoning them in a forgotten place? Here are the best methods to organize physical and digital photographs and have them at hand all the time.

1. How to Organize Old Digital Photos (The best way):

Digital photos don’t take physical space but fill up your laptop’s hard disk, smartphone’s SD card, or cloud storage. And navigating through an unorganized lifetime of digital photos is as hard as looking through your boxes in the garage. But there is a difference: you already have all the tools for organizing digital family photos right there on your device. You have boxes (aka folders), labels (aka file and folder names), search mechanisms, and sorting tools. And you can hardly run out of space.

So, the best way to organize old photos is building a simple system. Not one that you will forget tomorrow, but one that stands the test of time. For that you need categories and sub-categories, a naming system, and a workflow. For example, you can divide your old photos using the criteria date, location, family member(s), event, and so on. Of course, each category is a folder that may have sub-categories (sub-folders). You can then decide to name your digital files using the name structure year-month-location-person name-occasion and place them in the correct folder.

However, making everything from scratch may take some time. It’s a good system when you start with tens of photos, but when you already have a few hundred to gather from various locations and organize, you may get a headache. That’s where photo organizing software comes in.

Use Photo Organizing Software

You may already have photo organizing software pre-installed on your laptop, tablet, or smartphone. Many device providers take care of that. However, pre-installed software isn’t necessarily the best option for you because it is designed for a particular device. For example, you can’t share photos with your family using the pre-installed software on your computer. Furthermore, if you change the device (let’s say going from an Android phone to an iPhone), all your organizing work may be lost. So, if you decide to organize your family photos using photo organizing software, choose a universal app that can be used via browser or installed on any device. You’ll be able to grant your family access to your old photo collection without worrying about what device they use, keep your photos in a secure place, and learn a single program. To help you understand what using photo organizing software means, we will guide you step by step through one of the best photo managers on the market, Mylio.

Download/Install/Sign in

Mylio is a universal program that supports a variety of devices, such as Windows and Mac computers, Android phones and tablets, and iPhone and iPad devices. It has a free version, Mylio Photos, and a paid one, Mylio Photos+, with a 30-day free trial. It’s always a good idea to install free software or a free trial version to see if it fits your workflow before buying it.

To install Mylio on a computer, all you have to do is create an account on Mylio.com, download the app for your device, and double-click the installation kit. To install Mylio on a smartphone or tablet, you need to use the app store on your device (Google Play for Android devices and App Store for iOS devices). Search for Mylio Photos and tap Install (Android) or Get (iOS).

After installation, open the app and log in using an existing account or creating a new one. You are now ready to organize your photos.

Adding Devices to Your Mylio Photos Library

One of the best things about Mylio, one that you should look for in other apps as well, is keeping all your family photos in one place called a Vault. A Vault is a device or cloud service that can store your entire photo collection and its organizing information (e.g., catalogs, etc.). It may be an external hard disk or a secure cloud service, but also a computer with a large internal hard disk or a phone with a large SD card.

To add a device to your Mylio library, select Devices from the Dashboard and click on ADD. Then choose the type of device you want to add and continue the setup process step-by-step. Mylio’s interface is intuitive and guides you throughout the entire process.

Import/Export Photos

Once you’ve set up the location where you want to keep your family photos, it’s time to import them into the Mylio library. You want all your photos in the same place, not scattered across drives, memory cards, and cloud services.

Mylio provides tools for importing your old photos from internal and external hard disks, memory cards, iOS and Android devices, online galleries and social media, and scanners. Practically, you can gather your photographs from everywhere. Moreover, you can choose whether you want to move them and free space or copy them and keep duplicates on the original devices.

Organizing

Organizing is the most difficult step, but the good news is you only have to do it once. Maintaining well-organized family photos is a breeze.

If your photos have metadata (additional information automatically saved by cameras, including the capture date, location, camera settings, author data, etc.), Mylio uses it to organize the pictures. The program lets you edit metadata, rename image files, create and manage categories, and rate your photos. For example, you can rate your old photographs based on their emotional value and later on search for the most important to you. Or you can let Mylio sort your photos chronologically based on metadata and view them in a calendar form.

If your old family photos are more about people than dates, Mylio’s face-tagging tool will come in handy. It is a face recognition tool that scans your images in search of people, and lets you identify them. Once a photo is tagged, it’s very easy to search for old photos of grandma or your youngest child. Each family member will have their own photo collection. Instead of manually looking for pictures of a particular family member, renaming the files, and saving them in a tree of folders, you have Mylio do the job for you.

Managing

Now that your old photos are well-organized and safely stored in a Vault, managing them becomes much easier. You can search using the categories and ratings you’ve created, add new albums or merge existing ones, check for duplicates and remove them (Mylio does it automatically), look for similar images, and create backups. Photo organizing software such as Mylio offers multiple views and allows you to browse by date or location but also to look just at a particular album or folder. They also provide sorting criteria, zoom tools, and filters. You’ll never lose a photo again.

2. How to Organize Printed Old Family Photos

When your family’s old photos are on paper, you have a little bit more organizational work to do. First of all you need to put together a tool kit that includes acid-free albums, boxes, and labels. Then you need to decide where to keep the photos because old photos require a dry and cool storage space, far away from sunlight. Printed photographs fade in time, don’t resist humidity, and are easily damaging.

The next step is similar to organizing digital photos: create a system. You can categorize your family photos based on a person, date, or part of the family (e.g., my mother’s side, my husband’s relatives, etc.). Once you figure out the large categories, create sub-categories to help you search faster.

While you can easily rename digital files, labeling printed photos is more complicated. Writing on the back of the print may damage the photo. Furthermore, over time, the photo and the ink may age differently, and you may end up seeing the label through the paper. If you put your photos in albums, add labels on the album’s pages. If you store them in boxes, use envelopes for each sub-category and list the labels on the envelope.

To avoid printed photos stick together, put a thin paper sheet between them then put the batch into an envelope or box.

Family photo collections that cover a few generations should also be scanned and preserved as digital files. Photos from the beginning of photography, when the printing process wasn’t very good, will soon fade, making their content unrecognizable. Scanning your printed photos has another benefit: it allows you to use photo organizing software and reduce the time and energy spent organizing photographs.

Nevertheless, if you like how your old family photos look on paper, transform them into photo books. Photo books hold multiple images on one page, allow labels and notes, and offer a broad range of design options. They are great to take out at a family reunion without worrying that someone will damage the photos.

Conclusion

It’s not easy to organize 30 years or more of family photos, but it’s a pleasant activity. It allows you to relive important moments of your family’s life and reconnect with your family members. Furthermore, if you do it right, you only have to do it once. Using photo organizing software creates a structure and workflow that won’t let you drift away from order. It will be much easier to stay organized than to break the order. So use the organizing tools at your disposal and arrange your old photos to match your preferences, usage, and style.

FAQ

What is the best way to store photos forever?

Having a digital copy of your photographs is probably the best way to store your family photos. You can create secure backups in cloud-based locations or on external hard disks, share them with your family members and ensure they have a copy too, and look at them using any device. You don’t have to carry them when you move or worry about humidity in your apartment. They are safe forever.

What is the best free program to organize photos?

Mylio is the best free photo manager that allows you to have all your family photos in one place, provides intuitive tools for organizing image files, and lets you access your photo collection from any device. The app features automatic organizing tools that use metadata to categorize your photos, face recognition, rating, quick searching for duplicates and bad shots, and essential editing tools. It offers everything you need to organize and manage old photos.

Uncover the Power of Free Photography Webinars

by Dima January 1, 2024

Learning photography is an ongoing goal for every amateur and professional photographer. One can never know enough. Besides, the world of photography keeps evolving; new photography gear appears every year, photo editing and organizing software improves constantly, and artistic perspectives shift following social and cultural changes. Therefore, having access to free photography webinars is an affordable and effective method to stay up to date with the latest changes and trends in photography.

Photography Webinars by Mylio

Mylio offers a diverse range of free events and resources easily accessible through the mylio.com platform. Amongst them, are tutorials, instructive videos, answers to the most frequently asked questions, coffee breaks, and webinars. The Mylio community appreciates the free webinars because they provide something none of the other resources does: interaction. So here is everything you should know about Mylio’s webinars.

What Is a Webinar?

A webinar (aka a web seminar) is an online training session focused on a particular topic. Webinars are usually short (around 1 hour) and concentrated on a very specific subject. A single webinar won’t take you through the entire world of photography. Instead, it will clarify a photography aspect you’re interested in (e.g., how to start travel photography, how to organize your photos, how to take long exposures, etc.).

The main benefit of webinars is their interactive nature. Webinars take place online, via a video meeting platform such as Zoom and Google Meet, and offer a safe space for asking questions. Attendees can directly ask the host questions on the webinar’s topic and receive answers on the spot. It’s like being in a classroom without leaving your home.

How to Attend Mylio’s Photography Webinars

If you aren’t a member of the Mylio Photos community, become one right now. Only community members have access to the live version of webinars. 

Mylio’s photography webinars are held via Zoom. Therefore, to attend the webinars you need to install Zoom app on your device. You can attend via a computer, tablet, or smartphone because Zoom is available for all these devices. After clearing that up, head to Mylio’s events page and check out the upcoming webinars.

You can either browse the list of webinars or use the categories on the left to filter the results. For example, webinars that help you get started with photography are under the Getting Started Webinars category. Other categories are:

  • Quick Start Videos for video tutorials teaching you how to use the Mylio platform
  • Mylio Photos Tutorial for articles and instructive tutorials on Mylio Photos
  • Quick Tip Videos for shortcuts and easy tips and tricks
  • Coffee Break for short webinars hosted by Mylio Photos experts
  • Webinar Replays for watching recordings of past webinars
  • FAQs for finding answers to the most frequent questions in the Mylio community.

If you are available on a particular day, you can check a day in the calendar and see what events are happening on that day. And if you miss a webinar, you can always watch the recording anytime you like. Furthermore, recordings are available to anyone, Mylio Photos community member or not. But there is a big difference between attending the event, asking questions, and being part of a community and just watching a video.

Once you find an upcoming photography webinar you would like to attend, just click on its title or on View Event button to get all the details. A pop-up page will inform you about the webinar’s host, exact time (Mylio uses EEST time so make sure you calculate your local time), description, and joining procedure. You can add the event to your calendar and share it with your peers.

Expert in photo organizing, Mylio is no less in event planning. Everything you need to ensure you don’t miss a webinar is a few clicks away. If you add the event to your calendar, you’ll receive notifications. If you want to check out who’s coming, you can see that too. And because Mylio shows upcoming events one month in advance, there is no reason for you to miss a meeting.

So whether you are up for a coffee break or webinar, you have a question, or looking to become part of a photography community, the Mylio events platform is the place to go.

Conclusion

Photography webinars are a fast and pleasant learning opportunity. They help you become part of a community, meet fellow photographers, discuss with photography experts, and have your questions answered. Add the fact that Mylio Photos members have free access, and you’ll definitely want to add a webinar to your calendar.

FAQ

What’s webinar training?

Webinar training refers to free online teaching sessions focused on a particular topic. A Q&A section ends the session. Webinar training sessions are usually short (less than an hour) and interactive. Many companies offer free webinars to help customers learn to use their products and services or acquire new skills in their area of expertise. However, some companies offer free webinar training as a way of building a community, staying in touch with the public, and promoting the company’s culture.

Why is important to attend webinars?

The main benefit of attending webinars is learning and acquiring new skills. The second is saving money as webinars are usually free. But webinars aren’t just about your knowledge and budget. They have a large audience, which allows attendees to be part of a community, improve networking, and position themselves as experts in their field by asking the right questions. You also get to know the host, usually already an expert in the field, and find the latest news in your industry. By attending webinars dedicated to products and services you use, you can be among the first to know about new releases, upgrades, and promotions.

Where can I find free webinars?

The best place to look for free webinars is on the websites or blogs of companies you already use and like. For example, if you use Mylio Photos, you can start with the Mylio community’s events. If you also use Adobe products, you can try Adobe’s webinars. The immediate benefit is mastering the products you already use. The long-term benefit is becoming part of a community of people with similar interests.
The next best place to look for free webinars is on the websites of high-rated companies, the pillars of your industry. They will keep you up-to-date with state-of-the-art technologies and the latest news. Furthermore, they have huge audiences and are excellent conversation starters.

The Emotional Toll of Misplaced Memories

by Elisa September 29, 2023

Imagine if your phone fell into a body of water right now.  Your photos of your new puppy. Your kids’ birthdays. Everything from the first days of school to food snaps to holiday photos.

Would you lose your photos if you lost a critical device, like your phone, work laptop, or iPad? Backing up our endless camera rolls can feel like a chore: It must be automatic, or our photo libraries are quickly outdated. Then, if we lose a device, we lose photos we can never replace.

Our devices are full of warm moments that we don’t want to lose.

Accidents Happen

No matter how careful we are, device or data loss will happen. A corrupt drive or memory card. A lost or stolen laptop. An electrical storm zapped a hard drive. A phone dropped in a swimming pool. Without a plan to protect them, memories, photos, and videos will be lost.

The thought of losing my extensive photo collection gives me the chills. It freaks me out even when one of my backups fails, usually through drives dying of old age. I can’t relax until I know a new one is in place.

To protect your memories, you need a rigorous data protection plan: Automatic backups that keep your files in sync all the time. Changes that are backed up in real-time, so you always have the most up-to-date version of your collection.

Adding two Vaults provides even more protection against data loss. If your first Vault device has a problem—like the hard drive failing due to old age—your second Vault still has your library safely backed up.

Mylio Photos+ is the solution.

To get started, install Mylio Photos on every device that contains photos. Then, subscribe to Mylio Photos+ and designate one or more devices or drives as Vault Drives. A Vault device is a hard drive with enough storage space to fit all your media files. Mine is a 12TB hard drive attached to my desktop computer.

With at least one vault in place, Mylio Photos+ will automatically back up your photos and videos to any device you have designated as a Vault.  Designate three devices as Vaults; you always have three automatic backups running.

Once your Vaults are in place, any new photos, videos, or documents added to any device will be automatically backed up to your Vaults. Find those old hard drives, SD or CF cards, and USB drives. Plug them into any of the devices on your Mylio Photo+ account, and they’ll be backed up to your Vaults and, if you like, synced to every other device on your account.  The exact process applies when adding media from your scanner or social media accounts.

As you can see, Mylio Photos+ allows you to add all your devices to your library, making it possible to protect all your media – even if you drop your phone down. And with the new Mylio Drive (coming soon in Mylio Photos V24), you can access your precious memories on any device without interruption.

From Digital Clutter to Clarity with Your Personal Digital Memories Hub

by Alex Li July 11, 2023

The digital age has given us the power to capture, create, and save memories and information at an unprecedented rate. But with great power comes great responsibility—in this case, the responsibility to effectively manage and access a ballooning volume of digital content.

Mental Clutter Reflects Digital Clutter (and Vice Versa). A cluttered digital space can be as mentally taxing as physical clutter. Researchers have found that clutter can increase cortisol levels, a stress hormone. This can also be translated into the digital realm; a cluttered computer or phone can induce anxiety and overwhelm.

Productivity Dips. A Princeton University Neuroscience Institute study indicates that clutter can significantly decrease cognitive functions, making us less productive. When our digital files are in disarray, we spend unnecessary time searching for documents or photos, leading to wasted time and increased frustration.

Emotional Well-being Impacts. Beyond productivity, the mess in our digital life can have profound emotional consequences. Disorganization can make us feel incompetent and overwhelmed, leading to decreased satisfaction in personal and professional domains.

Loss of Important Memories and Documents. Important memories or vital documents can be easily misplaced or forgotten in unsorted photos and documents. This can lead to regret, especially if these memories or documents cannot be retrieved.

We all need a digital media hub

Let’s dive into the reasons why a digital media hub is essential.

Centralization is Key. Jumping between devices, scrolling through various folders, or accessing multiple Cloud platforms can be exasperating. A digital media hub offers a centralized platform to store, organize, and access all your media files while using any device. This simplifies your digital life and ensures your data is always accessible and manageable.

Work-Life Boundaries. Many of us juggle a myriad of files, both personal and professional. Mixing vacation photos with business documents? Not ideal. A media hub lets you categorize and manage files in a way that keeps personal memories distinct from work-related content, ensuring clarity and efficiency.

Digital Legacy Preservation. Your digital content tells your story: memories, achievements, and moments that define you. A digital media hub ensures this legacy is organized, protected, and easily shared or passed to family and others we love.

Why isn’t the Cloud enough?

Cloud storage, while convenient, has its share of issues:

Dependence on Internet Access: Without an Internet connection, accessing your files can be challenging.

Recurring Costs: Many cloud services require ongoing subscription fees, which can increase over time.

Security Concerns: Privacy concerns are genuine threats. Storing sensitive files on third-party servers might expose them to risks.

Limited Storage: Many cloud services offer limited storage unless you’re willing to pay more.

“You can’t access your photos now” – does this sound familiar?

How can Mylio Photos help?

Mylio Photos emerges as an innovative solution and a digital life-saver in this chaotic digital era. Here’s a deep dive into how Mylio Photos (especially Mylio Photos+) can revolutionize your approach to media management.

Secure device-to-device sync

Swift Access Anywhere, Anytime: Mylio’s unique device-to-device synchronization lets you directly access your files without an internet connection. Imagine being on a remote island or in a location with spotty internet and still being able to access your cherished memories on whatever device is at hand.

Private and Secure: Since synchronization happens directly between your devices, your data never lands on an unfamiliar server, giving you an additional layer of privacy.

Intuitive interface for your work-life balance

Curation Made Simple: Mylio’s interface is designed with the user in mind. From automatic categorization to tools that let you efficiently tag and sort, you can control how your memories are organized.

Visual Storytelling: With Mylio Photos LifeCalendar, you can create captivating timelines, letting you journey through your memories chronologically, perfect for reminiscing or showcasing life milestones.

Mylio Spaces: Beyond mere folders, Mylio’s Spaces lets you create clear boundaries between different aspects of your life. Have a Space for family, another for work projects, and maybe one for your passion projects. It’s like having multiple photo albums tailored to distinct parts of your life. If you like, you can protect your Spaces with a passcode.

Enhanced security

Your Personal Vaults: Think of Vaults in Mylio Photos+ as your digital safety deposit boxes. Store originals on storage devices you own for safekeeping, ensuring they remain untouched and pristine. Unlike Cloud storage, Vaults in Mylio Photos will never keep your media “hostage.” You can always access your files and download originals on any device.

Encrypted Transfers: Mylio Photos takes security up a notch by encrypting the connection when syncing between devices. In an age when data breaches are frequent, this encryption ensures your favorite memories and crucial files are away from prying eyes. Even if you decide to keep some of your files in the Cloud, Mylio Photos will encrypt that data so it is accessible only to your devices.

Cost efficiency

No Hidden Costs: With Mylio Photos+, what you see is what you get. There’s no hidden catch or rising costs as your library grows. By leveraging the storage on your devices, you sidestep the pitfalls of escalating subscription fees that other cloud services might spring on you.

Optimized Storage Solutions: Mylio Photos intelligently manages storage, ensuring that you always have access to your files without clogging up your devices’ storage space. For instance, it can store smaller optimized versions on your mobile while the original high-res version remains secure on your primary device or a Vault backup.

All your media at your fingertips

Stay Informed: With Mylio’s Info Panel, be constantly updated about the status of each connected device, details about every media file, and more. This transparency ensures you’re always in the know and in control.

Space-Saving on Mobile Devices: While you can quickly access original files when needed, Mylio’s system ensures your mobile isn’t overloaded, saving essential space without compromising access.

SmartTags for quick discovery. One of Mylio’s standout features is its SmartTags. These AI-generated tags identify thousands of activities, objects, text, and visual properties in your photos. Think about when you tried to find that picture from a long-ago beach vacation or special birthday celebration. With SmartTags, you can quickly locate these memories without having to sift or scroll through thousands of images manually. Mylio Photos brings the power of advanced search technologies to ensure every cherished memory is just a quick search away.

How to get started with Mylio Photos?

You’ll be prompted to create an account upon launching Mylio Photos for the first time. This account keeps all your devices in sync. You can download Mylio Photos for all your devices here.

Guided Import: Mylio Photos makes the importing process a breeze. Whether your photos and videos are on Apple and Android phones, social media platforms like Instagram and Facebook, or scattered across camera cards and folders, Mylio’s Guided Import will seamlessly walk you through the process.

DeDupe on Import: Don’t fret about duplicate photos. Mylio Photos automatically identifies and removes duplicate files as you import, saving time and space.

Linked Folders: You do not need to move or copy files if you’ve already organized media on your hard drive. Mylio will scan and recognize these, linking them into its system and watching the folders for any changes without creating unnecessary duplicates.

Video: How to add Linked Folders in Mylio Photos?

Give your library a personal touch

Face Tagging: A handy feature that recognizes and tags individuals in photos. With time, Mylio Photos gets even better at this, ensuring you can easily pull up every photo of a loved one.

Dynamic Search: A comprehensive and blazingly fast way to find photos. The most frequent searches are automatically updated in the background as users add new files to the library. The tools offer results 3–20 times faster than standard search technology.

Editing Tools: Mylio Photos comes packed with powerful photo editing tools. From basic adjustments to more in-depth edits, you can get creative with your memories. And if you ever need to use another photo editor, you can easily connect your Mylio hub to any other photo software.

Custom Filters, Views, and Sync Policies: Adapt Mylio Photos to suit your preferences. Create Albums, browse with your favorite View, decide on the best Sync Policies, set up custom QuickCollections with Mylio Photos+, and more.

Setup protection and backup

Mylio Vaults: Designate any device that has enough storage space to hold your entire library as a protection Vault, and Mylio will ensure that the device always has a copy of every file in its original format.

Sharing and collaboration

There are myriad ways to share your memories and important documents with Mylio Photos. The choice is yours, from a simple copy and paste to advanced Shared Albums.

Mylio Photos: A Dive into the Vistas of Your Memories.

by Alex Li June 15, 2023

Do you have tons of photos and videos scattered everywhere? It’s tough keeping track. Mylio Photos+ is here to change that. It’s more than just another app—it’s your go-to place to easily find and enjoy all your memories. Welcome to a clear, simple way to relive the best moments of your life.

All photos view every story at a glance.

Start with the “All Photos View.” Imagine the vast expanse of your memories, candid smile, and sunset lined up, waiting for a revisit. It’s the bird’s eye view of your digital life, a canvas painted with countless pixels of joy, sorrow, excitement, and nostalgia. Want a quick dive into your photos? This is where you begin.

Video: The All Photos View in Mylio Photos.

People view: faces that matter.

How often do we click a picture and forget about it? But here, every face, every emotion stands out. Mylio Photos recognizes and categorizes images by the people in them, creating a beautiful anthology of everyone who’s ever mattered. Lost in hundreds of photos? Just think of a face, and you’ll find them.

Video: People VIew in Mylio Photos.

Map view: journeying through the world.

Now, let’s travel. With “Map View,” your memories aren’t just timestamps; they’re geotagged. Every mountain you’ve scaled, and beach you’ve lounged at is plotted on a map. Trace your steps back to that cafe in Paris or that alley in Tokyo. Your adventures are now immortalized not just in time but also in space.

Video: Map View in Mylio Photos.

LifeCalendar: reliving days gone by.

Then there’s the “LifeCalendar.” Think of it as a time machine. Days, months, years of your life, captured and cataloged. Birthday parties, anniversaries, or just a lazy Sunday, go back in time, feel that moment, and relive that day.

Video: LifeCalendar View in Mylio Photos.

Folders vs. albums: crafting your narrative.

Let’s pause and talk about structure. Albums and Folders. They’re not just containers; they’re storytellers. While Mylio Photos honors your existing folder structure, keeping everything organized just how you like, Albums let you craft a narrative. Think of Folders as the spine, the backbone, the chapters in the story of your life. Albums? They’re the themes, the motifs, the special moments.

Why does this matter? Because memories aren’t files. They’re feelings. And Mylio Photos ensures they stay that way. Want to share? With “Shared Albums,” those moments aren’t just yours; they’re for the loved ones you cherish.

Video: How to create an album in Mylio Photos?

Mylio Photos: your universe of moments.

In essence, Mylio Photos+ isn’t just a tool; it’s a companion. With it, you’re not merely managing media but embarking on a voyage. Rediscovering joys, safeguarding memories, and always having them with you.

Dive deep, explore, and let Mylio Photos+ be the lighthouse in the vast sea of your memories. Every view and every feature is designed with one thing in mind: to keep the magic of your moments alive.

Isn’t it time you experienced your memories rather than just viewed them?
